Beauport Hotel Gloucester

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing! Staff was great, clean room, and loved the restaurant"

The Northshore Hotel - Boston/Danvers

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean overall, with hard flooring rather than carpet, which I appreciated. The bathroom mirror appeared to have been overlooked during cleaning, but the rest of the room was clean and well maintained. If you tend to get cold, I recommend bringing or requesting an extra blanket. The towels were adequate—not plush, but perfectly serviceable. Only the basic number was provided, so women or anyone who prefers separate towels for their hair and body may want to request extras. There was also only one trash can, located outside the bathroom, but it was easy enough to move it into the bathroom when needed. The hotel was exactly what we needed for a few days in Salem and was only about 20 minutes away. It is beautifully nestled away from traffic and other noise. Because it is an older hotel that has been renovated, soundproofing between rooms is limited. If you are sensitive to noise, I recommend requesting a room without another guest directly above you. Overall, the property was clean and well maintained, and the staff was exceptionally kind. I enjoyed my stay and would definitely return."

Ocean House Hotel at Bass Rocks

10/10 Excellent

"The location of this hotel was incredible. Overlooking the ocean, with a large balcony, and a lovely walkway along the ocean. The room was large and clean and comfortable with a couch and seating area. The bathroom was small but adequate. We walked to the hotel next door for a nice breakfast. The pool area was inviting but too cool to enjoy when we went. We'd definitely go back."
