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.

Great Place to Stay in Salem Lovely hotel right in the center of everything. Loved the modern, quirky (in a good way) decor mixed with the traditional style of the historic building. Place was very clean, well-appointed (hair dryer, robes, iron, soaps/lotions, glassware, cork screw, water in the rooms) with a lovely sitting area and well-stocked kitchenette. Front desk staff was very nice and helpful. Would absolutely visit again.
