My mom and I were on our way to visit Norwich University in Northfield, VT, and wanted to do some sightseeing before the day arrived. My mom and dad used to live in Melrose, MA, so she knew her way around. We were visiting the House of Seven Gables and my mom asked the curator if he knew of any... more

My family and I stayed in the Peabody House the honeymoon suite during Halloween Happenings . It was a great experience. We read some other review that stated unfriendly staff, dirty carpet, etc. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM! Some people will say/write anything to get a discount,freebie, or just because they are overall grumpy people. The room was huge by any... more

The only thing I liked was the location. Dislikes: Loud music/orgy in next room until 3 am Old bedding in Peabody House Froze all night cause no wood for fire/heat didn't work Told girl at front desk of trouble, all she said was "Oh." Breakfast was cold and continental Wrote letter explaining trouble...no letter back more

My wife and I spent a long weekend in Salem just a few weeks before Halloween. As you can imagine, the entire city was in Halloween mode and it was truly terrific. While the Salemn Inn was OK and met our needs, it was not what we had hoped for. The place needs a real makeover; especially the guest rooms.... more

To enter the Salem Inn is to walk back in time. The friendly greeting from the person working the desk started the visit off right. If you have ever gone by a house and wanted to see more of it, this Inn will delight you. I spent college summers as a tour guide in historic homes in the Midwest, so... more

I stayed in the Peabody House portion of The Salem Inn for 2 nights. I agree with other reviewers who found fault with shabby furnishings. The sheets were old and coarse, two (not four) pillows on the queen bed were old and flat, the blanket was cheap, and the spread, table skirt, dustruffle and curtains were of cheap quality and... more

We stayed at the Salem Inn for a quick getaway before our second child was born. We got the honeymoon suite (which was only one room) for a very good price. The lobby of the hotel was nice. The room was cozy, with a fireplace and a two-person jacuzzi tub. The room wasn't enormous, for a honeymoon suite, but it... more

My wife and I spent two "bewitching" days at The Salem Inn, Captain West House, circa 1834, in Salem, Massachusetts. Impressive, beautifully preserved, (National Register) building in the heart of historic Salem, spacious room, comfy bed, period furnishings and complimentary breakfast. Late afternoon sherry (also complimentary) in the formal parlor transports you to 19th century elegance. Take breakfast in the... more

We had a wonderful time in Salem and loved the Salem Inn. The room was cozy and very private. They have a friendly and helpful staff, in particular a nice lady named Linda. She went out of her way to help us find a restaurant that was open later in the evening. They always made sure we had coffee for... more
