We only stayed one evening at the Hawthorne. The guest staff was very friendly and the rooms were spotless. I would definitely stay again as it is within walking distance to all the attractions. They also have ample parking for you to park you vehicle. A+

We stayed here because it was one thing on our bucket list and we like history and haunted stuff. I have to say the room was very clean and the staff fantastic as it was our wedding anniversary also. We had asked if we were able to stay in a particular room and they allowed us too. We definitely would stay here again. We had a great time.

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Hawthorne Hotel in Salem this weekend for our first Valentine’s Day together, and we absolutely loved it. The entire experience felt special from the moment we arrived. The architecture, artwork, and historic layout give the hotel so much character, and the atmosphere perfectly captures Salem’s classic, slightly spooky charm without ever feeling gimmicky. The vibe is really what makes this place stand out — cozy, historic, and just mysterious enough to make the stay memorable. We even had two small moments that felt a little… suspicious on the paranormal side, which honestly just added to the fun and the story of the trip. Beyond that, the service was excellent across the board. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and the location couldn’t be better for exploring Salem on foot. Overall, it was a fantastic stay and a perfect place to spend a Valentine’s weekend. We’d absolutely come back again.

We were given such excellent treatment! Love the hotel and come here each time that we are in Salem. Fantastic location and the hotel is beautiful - lobby is gorgeous, tea and water and coffee on hand in the lobby, a great tavern and even though there are not a good amount of vegan options at Nathaniel’s restaurant (but a ton of restaurants nearby that are convenient!) they do have beautiful music being played, and singers! Can’t wait to return!!
