Such a beautiful place that encompasses all one would expect about quintessential Massachusetts. Elegant crown molding, high ceilings, manicured grounds, peaceful serenity with no noise from the usual hotel chaos daring to charge twice as much for chain nonsense. The Landing restaurant was a favorite eatery right on the dock with fresh lobster and phenomenal drinks. Great walking area with shops and cafes and not far from Salem. Airport traffic was insane at the hours I had to arrive and depart, but that's on planning. Rush hour and school traffic are what you want to work around. Delivery apps are familiar with the hotel as well if you want to order in. Can't wait to be back!

We had a very nice time with our stay at The Hotel Marblehead. Enjoyed the small plate breakfast provided each morning. The only issues we were with Wi-Fi. Could not connect my cellphone to the Wi-Fi. I was told there is a known issue with phones that use Verizon service. This issue needs to be corrected. Also had issue that I could not connect to Wi-Fi from my laptop in my room. Signal strength was good. I could connect my computer to Wi-Fi in the hotel lobby. Minor inconvenience but was able use my laptop for the tasks I need to do with the Wi-Fi connected while working in the lobby.

What a wonderful surprise! We booked this hotel very last minute and it was a lovely stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only thing that I would change is a more full breakfast.

Staff was great and helpful. Small plate breakfast and coffee delicious. My only criticisms are: a large stain on the carpet in my room that looked like it had unsuccessfully been worked on and the buzzing of the overhead light in my room.

The staff was late setting out breakfast. Ignored us in the lobby while we were waiting for the breakfast service. It was completely empty when we arrived which felt somewhat unsafe.

Quiet stay
We came down on a Friday and left on Sunday. Hosts was great and well informed. We had a nice patio to sit at. I was a bit surprised of the lack of a trash can aside from the bathroom. The patio curtains didn't really block out the light so sleeping in wasn't an option. We loved how close this place was to Salem and yet nice and quiet. Thank you for having us.

Nice historical hotel
Nice hotel, 3 miles from downtown Salem. The room was not vacuumed but everything else was fine. It’s a historic property which is always interesting. They serve breakfast, it’s simple but appreciated. This is our 2nd stay here, I would recommend a visit.

The hotel was clean. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. However there was no space to sit with a laptop or to eat anything. Hotel staff when they were present were friendly. WiFi did not work well. For most of the time it did not work at all and when it "worked" it was not very good i.e. during a zoom call it dropped out many times. The hotel is not staffed 24 hours so when issues came up there was no one to resolve them.
