I absolutely loved my stay! My dream place in Salem! The kindness of the staff, the cleanliness, the location, the price—everything is perfect! I have never slept so well in a bed as the one I had there. Plus, they offer cookies and scones starting at 4 p.m., and delightful morning treats at 9 a.m.! There’s limited on-site parking available, as well as another lot not far away. I’ve found my place to stay in Salem—50/5 stars! I can’t wait to come back, thank you for everything!

We had a lovely stay at The Merchant this past weekend. The house was beautiful and the staff was so friendly and accommodating. Bonus- every afternoon they set out warm chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven that were so delicious, how do we get the recipe?!!!

Flawlessly updated, centrally-located historic property ! Quiet with amazingly comfortable beds and a bountiful pantry for enjoyment by guests. Our entire stay was just perfect. We will be back!

I had a great stay at the Merchant. While walking through the beautiful hotel and the George Washington room where I slept, I couldn’t help but wonder if the place is *******. It’s old and modern. Staff were friendly. Parking lot is right around the corner. I had the best shower there in my life. The water felt so good. Thinking of returning sometime in the future.

Our stay at The Merchant was great. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the location was excellent. We were a quick walk away from all of the spots in Salem we hoped to visit.

Awesome hotel with loads of character. Felt like stepping into a Tim Burton film and I mean that in a very good way. Great location, great staff, will definitely be back next time I’m in Salem

This was our best accommodation on our road trip and we do missed this place. This place is a mix between a Hotel and a bed and Breakfast (Without the host leaving there). We just felt right at home. The location is perfect to do do everything on foot. The parking (Extra Charge) was right behind the hotel. Communication was excellent. Kitchen very well equipped for Hot drinks, +++ Free Nespresso machine, Free snacks, amazing hot cookies served at 4pm. The living room is a lovely place to hang out (Amazing when you are jet lagged and you don't want to wake up the whole room at 5 am) The room was big enough for the 4 of us (2 adults and 2 kids). Just loved the place and would love to come back one day.

Super tasteful, nicely decorated, comfortable. Hit the sweet spot, imo, between a b and b and a hotel. Not as old lady dingy as the former, and not as anonymous and cookie cutter as the latter. Text communication was prompt, courteous and not too much. Great spot.
