The Merchant Salem

The Merchant Review

The Merchant Salem is set 3 km to the veteran Salem Willows Park and about 8 minutes by foot from Salem Witch Trials Memorial. The hotel also offers guests Wi-Fi throughout the property.

This Salem hotel is about 5 minutes' walk from Gulu-Gulu Cafe serving American dishes.

Located off the Witch House, the accommodation is about 5 minutes' walk from Salem city centre. Wells is 93 km away from this 3-star hotel.

A 19-minute stroll will take you to the rusty wooden House of the Seven Gables.

I had the best stay at a hotel located right in the heart of the downtown area. The location was perfect, as I was just a five-minute walk away from all the fun shops and places in the city center. The hotel had impeccable cleanliness, and the interior design was vibrant and cool, yet cozy. Additionally, the staff was extremely accommodating and welcoming throughout my stay.
Nothing not to like.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the city's lively pedestrian mall. Everything I needed was just a short walk away, from great restaurants to charming shops. The hotel itself was beautifully decorated, with a blend of history and modern design. The rooms were clean and well-appointed, with stylish furnishings and comfortable bedding. Despite being in the bustling downtown area, it was surprisingly quiet at night. The staff were friendly and helpful, making sure I had everything I needed for a great stay.
Absolutely nothing to say about dislikes.
