Top Downtown Salem Hotel Reviews

Omni Parker House

10/10 Excellent

"This location is so centrally located that a 30 minute walk will get you to nearly every attraction to see. Not to mention the shops,bars,and restaurants that you pass or stop at on your walks. You won’t need a car. Parking is pretty difficult to find anyway."

Harborside Inn Of Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, modern decor, nice vibe, helpful staff. Walkable to top Boston attractions— 17 min to Boston Common, 7 min to north end “little Italy”, 35 min to USS Constitution. $24 uber to cruise port. (Note: Full elevators at 12:00 checkout time on cruise departure day.) Mini fridge in room. Jug of cold lemon water in lobby :) but no complimentary coffee :( Wonderful stay overall."

The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for a weekend trip and honestly loved it. The location was great — we were able to walk pretty much everywhere and explore a lot of Boston without needing to worry about transportation. The rooms were clean, spacious, and in a nice quiet area, but still close to all the main tourist spots. The staff were also super friendly, polite, and always happy to help. It was my first time visiting Boston and I really had no complaints at all. Everything about the stay was smooth and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Boston."

Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport

10/10 Excellent

"The only place to stay at the Boston Seaboard if cruising. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Any issues with the room were promptly looked after (5 to 10 minutes at most). Unbelievable). Very clean and great eating at the hotel. Simple first class. PS Of flying into Logan take the SLI complimentary bus, get off at the World Trade Centre stop, go out their Exit 2 and you will see the hotel, a 5 to 7 minute walk. The SL buses are free."
