"Salem is known for the 1692 witch trials , but it's about time that a boutique hotel brings the town into the 21st century. Whether you are staying the night or just trying to have a quick meal or a drink on the seasonally open rooftop—one of a scant number of rooftop bars in town—any traveler should stop here for a few minutes. The rooms, most of which overlook Salem's historic buildings, are comfortable and clean with a mid-century design. That aesthetic, contemporary food and drink, and friendly environment make it a lovely, welcome counterpoint to the more traditional and historical stops in Salem." - Todd Plummer
