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.

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!

Mama and daughter Witchy Vacation
My daughter and I had a fun, witchy time in Salem. The Hawthorne is perfectly placed close to everything she wanted to see. The food and drinks at the Tavern were fantastic; the staff knowledgeable and caring, and the hotel beautiful. I would definitely stay here again.
