Great location

The location is great. It is walkable to everything, so the free parking is a great perk. The staff was very helpful. We asked about no fridge in the room as we needed to keep some medication cold and they sent one right up.

First visit to Salem

The hotel had its old time charm. It was clean and we enjoyed our short visit. We did visit the bar for a few drinks and some light food. We enjoyed our time.

I liked everything about the Hawthorne and I would return. I rented the smallest room and that might have been an error on my part. The shower was my only hang up. It is tiny. But, again the room was my choice. I slept well and I’d choose the Hawthorne again!

Best Hotel

One of the best hotels in which I have ever stayed. The entire staff from check-in to check-out were friendly, attentive, and the ultimate expression of customer service. These people treated you as friends and family more than just a “customer.” We will definitely stay again!

So dreamy and such a pleasant stay. Its very walkable to just about to everything there is to do in Salem without having to go to far. If you're a good walker you wont have to uber very much. I would definitely stay here again. I got a lot of advice to stay away during Halloween time so ill see you back possibly next summer. Thank you:)

This was a fantastic place to stay! It is less than a 10 minute walk to everything you want to see in Salem. The bed was amazingly comfortable. It is a historic hotel, so the room was small and the dresser old. However, the room was quiet and very clean and it had everything we needed. Since it was in the middle of everything it was easy to go back and rest for a bit before heading back out. Very friendly staff. I would happily return!

This hotel is amazing! Beautifully setup inside and takes you back in time a little. Rooms are well kept and updated. Everything is clean and (this sounds so strange) it smells wonderful. They really take care of their spaces so well. The location is perfect. Right next to Salem Commons and across the street from all of the quirky shopping spaces. I had the best time running out at night and just walking around in circles. For anyone who is interested in the Hocus Pocus locations, the hotel is next to 2 of them! The others are so nearby and easily located! If you’re on the fence, let this be your reason to choose Hawthorne! Best hotel I’ve been to in a long time!

Staff was kind and helpful. The property is beautiful but extremely uncomfortable. We only stayed 2 nights and our backs hurt. The rooms are tiny and so are the beds.
