더 머천트(The Merchant)

Not only was the property and room absolutely adorable and homey but the amenities were next level amazing… the chocolate chip cookies OMG. The fireplace in the room was wonderful and kept us nice and toasty! The bathroom floor was heated and felt amazing! Bed was super comfy, it made us not want to leave! The stairs were beautiful but carrying luggage was a bit difficult, we appreciated the staff helping get bags up to our room. Not only were the cookies to die for but the fridges were stocked with delicious goodies as well (I personally enjoyed the quiche and yogurt parfait!)!!! If you are wanting to walk to all the historic sites, the Merchant is in the best location! The staff was so nice and helpful! They even allowed us to keep our luggage there while we continue to explore the town after check out. We will definitely be returning back to The Merchant for our next stay in Salem!

Google maps took us behind the property. It was a bit confusing but we called the hotel and they were very helpful. Lovely place and so convenient.

It was interesting that it was a Historical house where George Washington slept. But offered no amenities . No bar or breakfast served.

The Merchant was a very unique stay. The front desk people were very friendly when making the reservation for the property as well as one of their parking spots. The room was gorgeous and very well cleaned. The snacks and drinks offered in their kitchen was a very welcomed treat upon returning at night.

Staff was very welcoming and friendly. Room was very clean and well-maintained, and the overall ambiance was nice. Location is perfect for walking around Salem, and a pretty easy 5-6 minute walk from the trains. Parking is available, but very limited, so make sure you contact the staff and discuss parking options. Since this is an older property, I believe stairs are the only option for the rooms on the higher floors, so if you have issues with stairs you might want to discuss this with staff as well. Overall, a lovely place with friendly staff and a great location. I would definitely recommend it.

Shared fridge was not ideal. The air conditioning wasn’t great, but the staff were kind and helpful. During our stay, there was construction which made exiting with our luggage more strenuous than expected. Really enjoyed the heated bathroom floor and fireplace, however the room was smaller than desired. Will not return to this hotel if staying in Salem again.

The only thing we found strange was that the TV was on the same wall as the bed and could not be turned to face the bed so you had to watch on an angle. Maybe add an arm that can turn or put it on a tv table to make it more accessible.

Parking not ideal They did not have anything for breakfast but warm scones and they were not available until after 9 am….not what I am looking for in an Inn

The property is perfectly located. We truly enjoyed the hotel and the staff.
