I had the opportunity of staying at the Salem Inn on a road trip I took in my Mustang convertible I drove from Florida. I enjoyed the Inn very much as it was like staying at an old hotel and wasn't overly stuffed with frills. Kind of like staying with my grandmother in her soft bed and quite cozy. I... More

If you're looking for a modern hotel, this isn't it. Read the website and the reviews, look at the pictures, this is a very old inn with different buildings, I believe the website to be an accurate description. THE ONLY WARNINGS I can give are; check in times are between 8am and 10pm. After 10 pm, THERE IS NO ONE... More

This place was available during a recent visit so we "chose" to stay. The Salem Inn was full so we were placed in Curwen House around the corner. If you are visiting, you will need to park either on the street, or if there is a space on the side until you can get checked in and get the parking... More

We come to Salem once or twice a year from NY. We started coming here because we are a Paranormal Team and we liked the history of ghost stories. They also were fine with our little Yorkie,Snoopy, coming. However, after a few visits, we realized this place is filled with warm, friendly people who make you feel welcomed. Jessica Rogers,...

Dear Gerard, Thank you for your nice review, although I'm not sure why your room was cold before you lit the fireplace. Each of our guest rooms in the Curwen House has individual thermostats, so you should have been able to raise the temperature if you wanted to. We look forward to your return visit. Yours truly, Diane Pabich More

Stayed here due to poor weather on a drive to Maine, the people were helpful and friendly but the room was dirty and didn't smell great. But the bed was very comfortable. Also nice location for going out in Salem.

Dear Hondo H, We’re pleased you found your bed in a whirlpool suite at the West House to be comfortable and our location nice. However, we were very surprised to read the negative comments you made about your room, as you had told the receptionist at check-out that everything was great. Also, if there had actually been a complaint of... More

My friend and I took a trip to Salem around Halloween, and we wanted to stay in town. The town is not very big, so inns are the way to go. We stayed at Salem Inn's Curwen House. It was a great location with on-site parking. The room was quaint, clean and had plenty of space. The breakfast is actually... More

Dear Scarlet, Thank you for your kind review. We’re pleased you enjoyed your October stay at our 1854 Curwen House. As you mentioned, the location is perfect, in the quiet residential McIntyre historic neighborhood with on-site parking, yet just a short walk from the hustle and bustle of our city center. Our guest rooms at the Curwen House are all... More

Loved the quaintness and charm of the inn. We are Australian and enjoy the snow so this,coupled with the peace and atmosphere gave us a wonderful holiday we wil never forget.Would highly recommend the Salem inn to those who are looking for a romantic break and/or appreciate old world charm(and an open fireplace in your room).

Dear klbc1977, It was very kind of you to take the time to submit a 4 star review to TripAdvisor. It’s great you were able to sleep late – that speaks to the comfort of our beds and guestrooms. However, next time hopefully you will wake in time to try our breakfast buffet as well. Yours truly, Diane Pabich More

We stayed there for two nights. It was comfortable, but not worth more than two stars. Breakfast was frazzled and disorganized. They were booked and not prepared. Kept on running out of coffee -- not enough seats in the breakfast room. I would stay there again if I had to, but if I didn't have to, I would stay elsewhere.

Dear Deb M. No one on our staff at the Salem Inn can understand your review. The February week-end you stayed with us, the Inn was less than half-full, typical of our off-season. I do not believe we have ever run out of coffee, and our breakfast staff is very experienced, capable, and organized. We get kudos on our expansive... More
