We just got back from our trip to Salem. The hotel is very nice. Check in was fine and the loby is beautiful. The room was clean but very small. We had one queen size bed in our room. I see in some other pictures that the other rooms were alot larger. Keep that in mind when you make reservations.... more

I attempted to make a reservation for a meal and the representative who answered was rude and unprofessional. He gave me entirely different information from the previous representative I spoke with. I was unable to make a reservation. more

Not sure if it was the bleach fumes from the towels or the diesel fumes from the crane that started pumping into our room at 7:15 AM that pushed me over the edge. Notified only upon check in of serious work being done on exterior. Work commenced at 7:15 AM the next morning (not 8:00 as the welcome letter stated).... more

Stayed for a wedding. Room was dirty and dusty. Not worth the $171 that they charged. The staff was nice but other than that I was excited to check-out. more

We just returned from vacation and stayed at the Hawthorne for two evenings (Friday and Saturday). Let me start by saying that the city of Salem is BEAUTIFUL! it is filled with history and lore, and it is such a quaint and safe feeling town. Every restaurant we went to and every person we met was wonderful. I highly recommend... more

It has been a busy summer, sorry I have not written a review earlier. We stayed at the Hawthorne Hotel (3 sisters and a very amazing mother) to celebrate her 80th b-day. We had a large room with 2 queen beds that accommodated the 4 of us, no problem. The bathrooms are small, yes, but it is a charming historic... more

I stayed 3 nights in May with extended family. The hotel is beautiful and in a great location to walk almost everywhere in salem. I'd been in Salem the previous Halloween and since then I wanted to stay in the Hawthorne. We booked a room and a suite. The room was pretty. The suite had somewhat outdated furniture in the... more

Stayed at the Hawthorne for one night while on our way to New York City, and was far better than we expected. Every room is very large and beautifully appointed, and the vintage paneling in the bar and elevator add to the charm. Hawthorne Hotel is smack dab in the middle of an amazing neighbourhood, with beautifully maintained old architecture... more

This was a beautiful hotel right in the heart of Salem that was convenient to everything!! Our room was somewhat small, but couldn't beat the price we got on it. Hotel staff was friendly and seemed to be helpful in whatever you may need. The bartenders were great and very friendly. Breakfast was good. Would stay here again! more

I have never written a bad review before, but The Hawthorne Hotel deserves one. The room I stayed in was a joke. It was TINY. For $190 a night, I was expecting a large tastefully decorated room not a small shabby one with peeling wallpaper. The only cool area in the hotel was the lobby. The room I stayed in... more
