Stroll along Fisherman's Beach, where colourful boats bob in the harbour and locals cast lines from the pier. Explore the charming downtown, then head to nearby Salem for its famous witch history and haunted attractions.
Definitely a more expensive hotel, but worth it in my opinion if you have the funds! Super walkable to every thing you might want to do in Salem. We parked the car and didn’t get back in till we were leaving. The hotel staff were so kind and professional and polite. And the building itself is stunning inside and out. Only downside was our room didn’t have a mini fridge haha but first world problems right. There was always cold water available to refill bottles.

The hotel staff are awesome and helpful. Hotel is centrally located in the pedestrian section of Essex. MTBA parking is only an 8 minute walk and very inexpensive.

The room and hotel were very clean and the staff were very friendly. It was an expensive stay for one night and there wasn’t a lot of soundproofing. Otherwise, it was a great stay. The beds and bedding were very, very comfortable.

Hotel lobby was very pretty, and felt very inviting. Unique thing about this particular hotel was the staff making you waffles during breakfast rather than you having to do it yourself.

Excellent Gluten-free breakfast!! Prepackaged Gluten-free muffins were very moist!! Attendant came right to our table and offered a banana from a new bunch!

This was our first time in Boston. The hotel was absolutely perfect. It is worth paying for a hotel right downtown. The location of the Harborside Inn was the best! We stayed 3 nights. We walked everywhere. There was no need for other transportation. Sightseeing, dining, shopping all within walking distance. Can't wait to go back!
