With business meetings in the Boston area, my husband and I decided to combine a little business with pleasure and stay in Salem. The hotel is a great example of an updated historic hotel. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is within walking distance of all the sights to see in Salem. All in all, a great... More

Stayed at the Hawthorne 1 night while attending a graduation from Endicott College. Hotel is centrally located in Salem, MA for everything. Only complaint was the bathtub didn't drain properly. Rooms are small but quaint. Walking distance to Peabody Essex museum and great eateries on the waterfront. More

Just a great place to enjoy a casual dinner any time of... More

I am leaving Salem this morning but wanted to make sure I write review. I have stayed here numerous time-this is the ONLY place I stay at when in Salem. The vibe of the hotel is great, the lobby with its music and homey atmosphere is very inviting, and Nathaniel's and The Tavern are wonderful. I love the bathroom upgrades.... More
