Flawlessly updated, centrally-located historic property ! Quiet with amazingly comfortable beds and a bountiful pantry for enjoyment by guests. Our entire stay was just perfect. We will be back!

Samantha, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Alex, 2-night trip

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

David, 1-night trip

Very nice place, convenient location, very nice staff, I will come again.
Li, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I had a great stay at the Merchant. While walking through the beautiful hotel and the George Washington room where I slept, I couldn’t help but wonder if the place is haunted. It’s old and modern. Staff were friendly. Parking lot is right around the corner. I had the best shower there in my life. The water felt so good. Thinking of returning sometime in the future.
Matthew, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful building and lovely details. Love the breakfast and cookies available. Super convenient to central shopping area.
Rachel, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Jonathan, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful property. My stay was very quiet which I love. The breakfast was yummy.
jose r, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We loved staying in a lovely and historical hotel. The furnishings were tasteful, the self-serve food items were high quality and generous, the linens luxurious and the location perfect.
Heather, 1-night trip

Sabrina, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Tracy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The room was spacious comfortable bed and a great walk-in shower with a good draw and no smelling soap and shampoo.
Nathan, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The best snacks and treats!!! Clean, charming and spacious room convenient to all restaurants and shops. Come for the witches and stay for the treats!
Kristen, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

What a treat to stay in the comfort of an historic building where old traditions meet a more modern flare. Especially, to stay in the same room as President Washington slept in. Close to all restaurants and shops. Excellent stay!
