    This beautiful hotel is decorated entirely in an 18th century motif. It has 89 rooms, but during the month of October they fill up fast, as this is really the hotel of choice in Salem. They begin taking reservations for the following year 2 days after this years Halloween ends! You can get a great package deal that is for 2 nights stay as well as tickets for the annual Halloween ball that takes place inside the hotel. It's a bit pricey, but I'm sure a wonderful time.

    many of the other hotels and B&B's in Salem require a 5 night minimum during halloween.

    The Hawthorne Hotel is rumored to be haunted. Visitors have claimed to have seen apparitions or to hear things in the middle of the night. Legend has it that there was a secret meeting room for seafaring men on the upper floor of the original building. Some unsavory events took place between someof the sailors that didn't get on too well. This may have something to do with the haunting. You may want to keep in mind that you may get an unexpected visitor when staying here. Although for some it might be the ultimate Halloween experience. Personally, a ghost sighting would be too scary for me!

    I'm a daytripper to Salem, but my best recommendation would be the Hawthorne Hotel. It's listed as an Historic Hotel and has a great location on main street in the center of everything. You would be next to the Commons...or the Green... and a stone's throw to the witch museum...walk to water and shops, restaurants, attractions of all sorts. The lobby is lovely.

    A vintage hotel with a fabulous central location...noted for elegance, tradition, and a long record of a very good reputation.

    My husband and I stayed here on a Valentine's weekend one year and it was lovely. From the beautifully decorated rooms to the wonderful hall, restaurant and lounge.
    .
    They have dinner & stay packages which is what we used for a Valentine's stay.

    Three rooms for dining: Nathaniel's Restaurant, the Tavern on the Green, or the Museum Café. The only one I haven't tried is the Cafe. The other two are great!

    Hawthorne Hotel is a classic old hotel at the center of the action downtown, but in season Salem simply does NOT have enough accommodations for the thousands of people who descend on the city. I noticed that, since I've moved back to Massachusetts, they've built a large new Best Western downtown, so that might help a little bit.

    However, just about every hotel or motel chain you can think of is represented in the neighboring towns of Danvers and Peabody (see next paragraph). If they're still sold out, don't despair, because you can most likely either find an oceanfront room in Gloucester, a quick highway trip to the very end of Route 128 North, or head further inland toward Woburn (Exit 36 on Route 128 South). Woburn really isn't a tourist destination, but it's a great place to snap up a last-minute room.

    If you have pets with you, they are welcome at only a few places in this region. The best place to go is the Homestead Studio Suites in Peabody. They charge a fee, but it's worth the peace of mind knowing you can travel safely with Fluffy!

    This is a full-service hotel in another convenient location, within walking distance to Salem's historic places. The hotel has its own blog-diary so you may check what the hotel's guests have said about it.

    Hawthorne Hotel: Worst hotel in the World    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:
  • By smallboo on October 11, 2006
    • Do not stay here. Old nasty rooms-far from the usual quaint bed and breakfast. No air/heat working. Kitchen greasy, burnt, foul odors coming into your windows all day and night. Band still playing well past midnight. Management no help in any problem you may have-"fill out a card and send it in" is all they tell you. Very unhospitable..rather have slept in my car. Chest heaviness and choking during entire trip due to pollution. Run, dont walk away from this hotel!

    Peelin paint, old dirty mattresses, manager who can not solve one problem, wait staff cant get orders right, elevator takes 15 minutes to get to your room.

    • Yes I would recommend this hotel its a little posh.
    There was not much room in my hotel room and the TV was very high up.
    View was not good.
    But clean quiet and comfy.

    Eggs Benedict is to die for.
    Breakfast can be brought to your room.

    The staff do say good-morning and smile
    so I found them to be friendly and acknowledge that you are there.
    There is a car park outdoors.

    Lovely hotel close to everything; its clean, the staff at least speak to you.
    It can be very busy with weddings meetings etc.

    It has a cosy bar which serves food.

    The Hawthorne Hotel is one of the Historic Hotels of America. The hotel is beautiful and has an old world feel to it. The lobby has beautiful furnishings. The rooms have a Victorian feel to them with nice accents.

    Our room was very nice with a four post bed , seating area, bathroom and chandelier. The bayhroom showed its age and definitely needs to be updated but otherwise the stay was very nice.

    Nathaniel's Restaurant in the hotel is a great place for breakfast. The food is awesome and so is the service.

    This was a quite nice hotel in downtown Salem, very close to just about everything. We got a walk-in rate as we hadn't made reservations, but I don't know how this compares to reserved rates. For an additional $10 at checkin we got a voucher for $20 worth of breakfast in the hotel restaurant for the morning, and the food was quite good as well.

    The room was reasonably large and the bathroom was very well done and clean. There were ice machines in the stairwell, it took me a few minutes to find them. This hotel was quite nice inside and out, and I would stay there again.

    On the day of our checkout we asked if we could leave our car in the hotel parking lot for a few hours while we explored Salem. The manager cheerfully agreed, thereby saving us several dollars in parking meter fees!

    Service was good as regards the room being clean and service at the bar.
    The room with a double bed had little room to move about.
    The Shawmut in Boston I was to find much better.

    Still I enjoyed my stay.

    Eggs Benedict was lovely.

    I recommend the hotel most of the staff are very friendly.
    People do say hallo or good morning.
    Which I think is good.

    They allow you to bring your dog.
