This hotel was a perfect first stay on a multi- leg trip. We had a lovely light filled room on the 2nd floor. We also had the best fish I’ve tasted in years at the restaurant downstairs. Delish! Our only non-5 star experience was with the lady who was supposed to be checking in guests. She sat at one of the tables in the main floor where you enter with her back to us on the phone for > 10 minutes. We stood there wondering if she was a guest. We literally waited until a guest walked through and pointed out that she was the one supposed to check us in. That’s the only unpleasant snafu during this stay. Perhaps next time we visit, there will be someone at the entrance who will greet the guests.

This was overall a nice place and a good experience but what I'd like people to know is that the staff is very good in person but horrible when trying to get in touch after we left. I was charged extra and when I tried, multiple times to get in touch, no one answers the phone and no one calls back. After a shower, I was looking for a hair dryer. Found the empty bag. Since all staff isn't back in the morning until 11am, I couldn't ask them to get me one or tell them it was missing. I wrote a note and left it in the room explaining the dryer was gone, but i did not take it and them left with wet hair. I was charged $23 so I'm assuming they charged me for the missing dryer. Like I said, I wanted to talk to someone about it but no one got back to me. I hate leaving a review like this, other then that I'd recommend them, room was very tiny as well, just so you know.

I am sad to leave a bad review as I was so excited to come to this hotel based on prior reviews. However, I would recommend NOT to stay here. Firstly, the cleanliness of the room was not acceptable. There was coffee splashes on the window bench that came off with water so it’s obvious that the room was not thoroughly cleaned. The sheets also did not fit the bed and there were multiple stains on them. On top of the cleanliness issues, there was the issue of so much noise. I don’t know why this hasn’t been mentioned in other reviews, however it was so extremely loud in the room from road noise & it kept us up all night for both nights of our stay, therefore having no sleep during our trip to Salem. I understand that this is an old building, however no soundproofing effort has been made and to pay so much money to stay somewhere and not be able to sleep is unacceptable. You could also hear every word from the other rooms, we woke up to the sound of someone blowing their nose at 7am. Finally, the customer service was poor. I received a charge for over C$800 on my card and I had no idea why at check in. We also received no instructions for the property or check out upon check-in. After calling the hotel, I was told this was a charge taken for incidentals. However, I was not told this and I did not consent to this charge on my credit card. The person I spoke to on the phone did not apologize and they admitted to not having the staff trained properly!? Just avoid this place.
