Hotel is beautiful, but rooms are really small. Housekeeping was not great- left room service trays in room and didn’t clean the table, But polite. Room service was a little difficult as it was hard to get a hold of and they forgot things- but again very polite and apologetic. Food in the Tavern was amazing, but no microwaved in the room made it hard to enjoy leftovers.

Everything was amazing, beautiful historic hotel. The Tavern was beautiful and had excellent food and drinks. It was actually very clean but the bathroom sink faucet hadn't been hit with cleaner for a while and had mold on it, only reason I gave cleanliness a 4. We will definitely be back and thank you so much for the hospitality!!!

Perfect spot to explore Salem

Very convenient location to be able to park and walk to most attractions. Room was clean and comfortable. Tavern restaurant was also excellent (I recommend the seafood chowder). Staying in a historic hotel is pretty cool. Loved the vibe of the place. They are celebrating their 100th year this year!

The Hawthorne Hotel in the heart of Salem Massachusetts compliments the beauty and historic nature of Witch City. The charm takes you back to classic cars and big bands. We loved the atmosphere and the convenience to the local attractions. We certainly will not pass an opportunity to stay here again.

The Hawthorne Hotel in Salem is amazing. Fantastic location, really great vibe in the lobby - feels like a fancy living room. You are welcomed to relax and read, have a glass of wine or cup of tea, do a little people watching - I've never been in a hotel before where I actually wanted to hang out in the lobby, it's usually just a place to wait. The rooms are nice and clean and quiet and have the amenities you need, you can control the heat and open the windows a little bit if you want some fresh air, beds are comfortable. This is our second year having a little 'staycation' at the Hawthorne, it's now a tradition we all look forward to.
