I teased Ada at breakfast saying that we had spent 2 days trying to find something out of place so we could criticize her inn, but had to give up because everything was perfect. This was no joke, this is one of the best inns we have stayed ever. Great settings, great location, warm hosts, cannot ask for more !! more

The Amelia Payson House is located within easy walking distance to nearly all the sights of Salem. The innkeepers were very congenial and relaxed, definitely made us feel at home. We arrived well before the check in time, but they stored our luggage for us, and gave us tips on touring the city, as well as discount coupons for some... more

Cozy room, firm bed, nice proprietors. Just a few steps from Washington Square Park and historic buildings. more

My daughter and I have been to the Amelia Payson House nine times and already have plans to hit our 10th this Fall! Saying we love it is an understatement. The house is a doll house come alive. The rooms have every comfort you can want while still having the charm of years long gone. The proprietors Donald and Ada... more

We stayed here for a wonderful 8 night trip to both Boston and Salem. I couldn't begin to explain how perfect this place was. Ada and Don were the most helpful and charming people. The room was beautiful, clean, comfortable and romantic. The town was beautiful and full of culture. The B&B itself put us in a perfect location to... more

I always dreamed of visiting Salem and staying at a place that was representative of the history and charm that Salem offers. I visited the second week in September. When I arrived, Ada and Don were so helpful, for which I was grateful. They helped me with my luggage, since climbing stairs is difficult for me, and gave me tips... more

My friend and I celebrated our 40th birthdays in Salem for Halloween. We had an awesome time and our stay at Amelia Payson House was FABULOUS! Ada and Don are great hosts and the breakfasts were terrific, especially the fresh fruit (pineapple, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries) that was served daily as well as the baked egg dish which was out of... more

I stayed at the Amelia Payson House for four nights during the month of October festivities in Salem. I'm so glad I found this B&B! It was a great location - an easy walk to everything, but on a pretty and quiet side street. My room was very large - and the bathroom was huge! Like everyone has said, everything... more

Stayed for a couple of nights after flying into Boston and wanting somewhere close by. Located in quiet street close to centre and Salem's attractions. Looked after by the owners in their clean and comfortable home. Not disappointed in anyway. Nicely prepared breakfasts and large bedroom etc. Cannot say much more but a happy experience at the start of a... more
