Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Hawthorne Hotel is praised for its beautiful, historic style and exceptional location right in the center of Salem, adjacent to the Salem Common and very close to Essex Street. Guests often highlight the spacious and clean rooms, some offering pleasant park views from the 4th floor. On-site Tavern is very popular, and free coffee is a much-appreciated bonus, but some guests have noted that certain rooms can feel a bit small and lack expected amenities like a mini-fridge.

The staff offered excellent service. The vibe was very laid back. The location was amazing. I also had a view of a very pretty park.
The hotel is feeling a bit rundown. Regular maintenance seems to be lacking. I stayed in a Queen Room and the mattress was awful!

small room broken air conditioning
The location was acceptable. It made exploring the area quite easy.
The room was far too small. Moving around with luggage was a chore. The air conditioning didn't work properly. The room became uncomfortably hot at night. I did ask for assistance, yet nothing changed .
