Great location. Quiet, safe. Walkable to many conveniences and restaurants/bars. Staff were great. Kind, professional and helpful. Only issue we had was we timely told front desk we did want a housekeeping service on a particular day and we came back to our room with no housekeeping.

Nice, modern hotel at the seaport. Quiet, walkable area with lots of restaurants and great harbor views. Hotel had spacious rooms, comfortable beds, nice views, free good breakfast, rooftop patio with firepits and lots of amenities. Self parking at $15 across the street was fantastic.

We found so much charm in this building built in 1901. Great that they saved the old brick and humongous wooden beams. The laminate floors in the room feel brand new. Loved the kitchen
and two TV's. Nice service offered where you can leave a shopping list and they'll stock your fridge.
We thought 72 degrees was rather cool but were able to adjust easily. There are a few cool vegan friendly restaurants in a one block radius that the concierge did not know about - Green something (adjacent to...

Great staff, beautiful aesthetic and charming. We happened upon the Briar Barn looking for a quaint place to sleep for the night. This place was beyond our expectations and we are already planning another visit, with friends, to stay and see the sights of the area. We are New Yorkers and were so impressed by they service, the cleanliness, the vibe, the amenities and the space. We will come back and recommend to others.

Hotel shuttle would take you to places within 3 miles of hotel. To get to Boston the shuttle took us to train station. From there we road train to Boston downtown where everything was located. Alot of walking. Trolley's downtown but still wear your walking shoes. It rained all day the first day we went to Boston but we continued to stay downtown and went to aquarium/imax, which was a fast walk from train station until we found aquarium. Other days we road trolley's more and got to see more...

The Hotel Salem on Essex Street is a great choice for exploring downtown Salem — it’s conveniently located within easy walking distance of shops, museums, and restaurants. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Overall a convenient, pleasant stay for anyone wanting to be in the heart of Salem.

Everything was perfect! It was exactly like the pictures and SO CLEAN! It’s brand new, renovated and the bed was super comfy! Katie, at the front desk, was extremely welcoming and available if we need anything. Would definitely come and stay again!
