Clean room, ability to have access to room supplies if needed, (such as extra washcloths, ones designated just for makeup low-key brilliant, coffee or tea supplies) and a game/lounge room were a plus. There was an outdoor fire pit/grill area for guests to access.
Walking diagonally across the street to DD, after dark on a cold December evening, I realized how appreciative I was of the sidewalk from the hotel and onto the street. It had also snowed while we were there, but there was plenty of parking and things seemed to be adequately salted or sanded.
Since neither of us in our party wanted to actually drive into downtown Salem or fight for parking, we just got an Uber. We also ordered in our first night and no issues with delivery finding our room, or them having any issues with parking but maybe it is also probably considered off season for major tourism.
Deep soaking tub was also an important factor in booking.
There is train going by in the distance, not crazy loud considering I lived right next to railroad tracks coming from Northern Maine, and booking a house for a week in Pennsylvania, next to train tracks with the train going by every couple of hours round the clock, this was absolutely doable for me.
Room was absolutely gorgeous honestly one of the best stays I’ve ever had
Everything was wonderful. Coffee shop and has station is the only things wasy to walk to.
Modern spacious room. Clean & comfortable.
Everything about our stay was more than enjoyable. Most importantly is how safe you feel at this property followed by how clean and well maintained everything is. The staff are friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be booking here for our next trip to New England.
