It was a great location for anyone who wants to get around Salem quickly. My only real complaint is the lack of AC at this time of year. But that was mitigated by the window and a fan

We loved our quick stay at the Hawthorne Hotel! Though our room wasn't huge, the beds were absolutely dreamy - so comfy we didn't want to get up! The best part? You literally step outside and boom - you're right in front of the Salem Witch Trial Museum!

If you have plans to visit Salem, this hotel should be on your list of options. It is centrally located in the middle of everything which makes it so easy to walk to any place you desire for shopping or dining. It was also affordable. The room we had was compact, but had everything we needed. If you don't want to leave to dine, there is a restaurant on site.

The Hawthorne Hotel was a great location and the room had plenty of space for our group. The staff were amazingly helpful and went above and beyond when I wasn't feeling well. The afternoon cider was delightful and especially lovely after a cold day outside. We did not eat in the restaurant but the smells were wonderful. The only negative is that the hotel is showing some signs of age and my knees touched the wall while using the restroom. We would totally stay there again.

Small rooms

Pros: I loved the aesthetic of the hotel—it perfectly complements the charm and history of Salem. Its location is fantastic, within walking distance of many of the city's attractions. We had breakfast in the dining room, which was a delightful experience, and the live music added a whimsical touch. The staff was generally friendly and even allowed us to check in early, which we appreciated. Cons: Unfortunately, our room felt like the smallest one in the hotel. It had just a bed, a small table, and a single chair, with barely enough space to move around. The bathroom was especially cramped—you could stand and turn, but that was about it. Cleanliness was average, and the wallpaper was peeling, which took away from the overall ambiance. In conclusion, I wouldn’t stay here for more than a night. Be prepared to get up close and cozy with your travel companion. Next time, we’ll be looking for a quaint B&B instead.
