"Great room great rates"

Sonesta Select Boston Danvers

10/10 Excellent

"Room was decent size, location and price for a Salem trip made this the perfect choice, not to mention a bus to and from the airport was a 5 minute walk at a very low rate. Breakfast was not complimentary, it’s basically a mini starbucks with minimal food options at a semi-high price. Gym was small (typical). Staff was very helpful! "
