    Bed a little soft but offered to move us. We stayed all went well. We stayed in the Curwen House beautiful but if you have mobility issues stairs are steep. Suggest 1st floor. Parking excellent, location great, breakfast was good but not gourmet. Staff helpful, sheet, towel’s excellent. Would stay there again.

    The room was clean and the location was wonderful for visiting Salem. It was really nice to have off-street parking onsite. The staff were friendly and helpful in navigating the check-in and check-out process. Breakfast was really good, efficient, and the staff were so lovely at breakfast too!

    If you like a property that is hard to find, difficult to get your luggage up the stairs and limited amenities…this is your place.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Loved this place! Excellent location, gorgeous room, had the best stay

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Amazing place!! So accommodating! The rooms are super clean and very quiet. You cannot hear other guests. Breakfast is free and good. They even did a complementary wine tasting at night. My only complaint is the trundle bed was super squeaky so whenever I moved it woke people up. But other than that the place is wonderful and I would stay again.

    Super nice place very well located. Would book again

    Well, the room was nice. The problem was it was on the third floor of a house that was 2 full blocks away from the Salem Inn. I'm a fairly in shape 72 year old, but I had to roll my 35 pound suitcase those 2 blocks, which was fine. What wasn't fine, I was on the 3rd floor. Had to drag my suitcase up 2 long staircases to get to my room. No elevator, and no staff to help. It would have been nice to have known that before booking this hotel. I know it is old time Salem, but a heads up would have been nice.

    Nice rooms, helpful staff and breakfast included was also served to you not the normal buffet style food.

    Thank you for a wonderful stay. Staff were all very kind. Property was clean and breakfast was great!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    A little quirky - we were on the third floor, no elevator which we didn't realize. Finding the breakfast area down the road and around the corner was tricky until some helpful people pointed the stairs from the sidewalk down to the basement - to a very nice breakfast. Still a lovely experience overall.

    The hotel was very nice and old, and rhe staff was very friendly and helpful. The only issue we had was the curtains were thin and light so at 5am the room was super bright (like it was noon time) other than that well worth the stay!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    A quaint inn, very conveniently located. The staff was helpful, breakfast was included, and the staff in the cafe were especially helpful and nice. The bed and room were comfortable. For many of the rooms, you have to walk stairs; there is no elevator, so access may be an issue for some people. Overall, I would visit again.

    Absolutely WONDERFUL from start to finish! The warm & charming welcome from Suzanne was so nice! She made us feel right at home! We stayed at the Corwen house which was Beautiful! Lovely room with the most cozy decor! The room was impeccably clean! Beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was spotless! A cool refreshing carafe of water was waiting in our room and evening Sherry was such a delight! The perfect night cap after a phenomenal day in Salem! The INN is located right across the street from Ropes Mansion and the Witch House and ESSEX street was just steps away! The location of the Salem INN was ideal!! The complimentary breakfast in the main house was delicious and freshly made! The waffles and omelets were prepared perfectly! Our stay was a 10/10! N/A

    The room was very large and the decor matched the history of the area. Very romantic. The location was great for walking to a lot of the attractions. The free breakfast was excellent. There is no elevator. Breakfast was served in a different building. There are no shades in the windows, so it is very bright in the morning.

    Great location: can walk to everything! Evening sherry service was a treat as well as the witch’s brew coffee in the breakfast room. We stayed one night. Comfortable bed, clean room.

    Third time staying here, and just love the historic charm and easy access to all things in Salem. The room was comfortable and clean, and the staff were very communicative and helpful with any questions we had.
