We stayed for one night after exploring Salem. After hours check-in was easy. Convenient parking. Rooms were well appointed and comfy bed. Wonderful dining just down the road—highly recommend the Elia Taverna for dinner.

The Hotel Marblehead was a spot we chose to be both close to local beaches as well as the airport. Our stay was short but we were made to feel at home. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. I’m just guessing but this whole area must be a sweet taste of life in coastal Massachusetts.

The house is beautiful, outside!! You would expect more elegance on the inside. We stayed at the Hampton inn last evening and our room here does not compare to that. This room is very tiny and the carpet should have been replaced years ago. Very sad looking.

Disappointing stay

The hotel looked old and things seemed to be falling apart like door knobs. It was also a bit noisy from traffic outside and the fridge and heating system in the room. The people working there were nice though and helpful.
