We were given such excellent treatment! Love the hotel and come here each time that we are in Salem. Fantastic location and the hotel is beautiful - lobby is gorgeous, tea and water and coffee on hand in the lobby, a great tavern and even though there are not a good amount of vegan options at Nathaniel’s restaurant (but a ton of restaurants nearby that are convenient!) they do have beautiful music being played, and singers! Can’t wait to return!!
