“This historic hotel struck me as a premier Salem venue, particularly suited to weddings and events; the in-house dining, with its full bar and live entertainment, impressed me, as did the pet-friendly policy. Its location allows easy exploration of Salem's witch history and museums. I'd recommend it for anyone seeking a centrally located and lively experience.”
