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!

This is my second stay here. The first time was excellent, so I was very happy to be back. The hotel is beautifully redone, and the rooms are very cute and nautical. The jet bathtub is a very nice feature in the bathroom. The problem I had this time was the heat in our room. It would not turn off despite the thermostat being turned to off. It was so hot that we had the window wide open, but this did not help. Considering that check in is a late 4pm, sleeping there is really the bulk of what I'm rating. I tried responding to the hotel's automated text message system that asked how my stay was, but I have not gotten any reply.

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.

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.

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.
