“The feeling of historical Salem is alive here. Since 1925, this has been an events hub with updated accommodations, a full bar, and in-house dining; it's hard to find a better location from which to walk the town. While the building has modern facilities, some may find that some rooms can feel a bit austere and that popular events can sometimes take over.”
