beautiful historic building in the center of downtown Salem. Very well designed and well maintained. Rooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. There is a small kitchen area with the best fresh baked pastries daily, coffee, and other drinks & snacks provided by the hotel. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
I initially picked this property solely based on it being centrally located. When we arrived I was blown away with how wonderful both the staff and the property are and only wish our stay could have been longer!
