Wonderful

This hotel is large, clean, well taken care of, and the staff are amazing! We slept well and enjoyed the back yard and patio area, and the small plate breakfast was just what we needed to start out day as well!
We stayed for one night after exploring Salem. After hours check-in was easy. Convenient parking. Rooms were well appointed and comfy bed. Wonderful dining just down the road—highly recommend the Elia Taverna for dinner.
Debbie, the manager, was outstanding! Light breakfast and parking was good. Since reasonable accommodations, in Marblehead, are hard to come by, this was a good choice aside from thin walls.

The staff was pleasant. The room was passable. Understanding that it was a hotel room near Salem near peak Halloween activities, I get that things are more expensive, so that is on us. I don't feel the room was anywhere near worth the cost associated with it.
Lovely room with a comfortable bed and Roku access to watch TV on a rainy morning prior to our departure for Salem tours. Breakfast healthy options of three kinds of granola, two kinds of yogurt, variety fruit cup and a variety of breads and muffins… coffee tea or water. Plenty of parking and a short drive to a variety of restaurants. Salem is only a 10-15 minute drive away
Would consider staying there again. Excellent fresh fruit at breakfast. It would have been nice to have an earlier check in. This was not possible since the property was fully booked the whole weekend.
This place was absolutely lovely! The staff were helpful and the breakfast was tasty and beautifully presented. I could not be happier!

Great location, with off street parking. Old home, refurbished. Easy walk to beach. With high price I would expect it to have warmer atmosphere and be a bit less worn out. Furnishings very low end, plastic chairs. Tiny bathroom sink was a joke, annd not a funny one. and spots throughout need touch up.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay very clean & the suite was a nice layout. I was a little taken aback by no elevator as we were on the third floor. My husband had to carry our luggage up the two flights of stairs. Also, we had to use the back entrance as the front wasn’t available which wasn’t terrible but when taking Ubers it would be nice to go right out the front doors especially at night.
