Annisquam Hotels, Gloucester

"We enjoyed our stay at The Hotel Salem! The location was amazing, and we loved the cool, modern vibe of the hotel. The staff was very helpful and enthusiastic and the rooftop bar was a good place to unwind after a long day of touring. If you are sensitive to noise you should ask for a room that is quiet, because there was a good bit of noise from the rooftop and the street, and we were offered a noise machine to help. "

"Love this place, clean, convenient and allows dogs"

"We really loved this hotel. Friendly staff, clean rooms and a private beach a 5 minute walk away."

"I recently stayed at the Hawthorne Hotel in Salem for a paranormal investigation for my YouTube channel @ThisGhostStory — and what an experience! The hotel’s atmosphere is rich with history, and it absolutely lived up to its haunted reputation. During our investigation, we made contact with three spirits: Rose, George, and their son, Francis. The activity we experienced throughout the night was compelling, and I’m eager to review and edit the footage to see everything we captured. The Hawthorne isn’t just haunted—it’s also beautiful. The hotel is elegant, timeless, and full of character. While we were there, a wedding rehearsal dinner was taking place, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect setting. The refined charm and historic ambiance make it an ideal venue for a romantic event. If you're into the paranormal or simply love staying in historically rich, stylish locations, the Hawthorne is a must. The staff was welcoming, the location is perfect for exploring Salem, and the energy in the hotel is definitely something special. This was more than just a stay—it was an unforgettable encounter with the unknown. I can’t wait to share the full video soon! @thisghoststory "

"We are a grandma with 3 grandsons and felt very welcome here. The boys loved the pool and breakfasts. I really enjoyed the Wednesday evening snack offering. They had chicken noodle soup, very nice salad with lots of tomatoes, cukes and mozzarella balls. Lemonade was good along with assortment of cheese, pita chips with humus, cut up fruit and oatmeal cookies. Very nice treat after a hot day at the beach. I liked how the hotel was located in a small area surrounded by roads of course, that included only 3 hotels and 3 places to eat that we could walk to. I even was comfortable allowing the boys to walk to the fast food restaurant by themselves. Staff was always responsive to our needs. Young man at the breakfast area was always checking to see what was needed."

"Overall, we were very pleased with the Castle Manor Inn. We stayed in the main house on the second floor and had a lovely view. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was a little dated but spacious, comfortable, and well-furnished. The bathroom was small, but everything worked well and it was clean. In general, the room seemed quite clean, although we found some trash under the bed from a previous guest. We didn't take advantage of the breakfast, but we appreciated the complimentary coffee. Loved sitting on the wraparound porch in the morning. We were very happy with our choice. For guests planning to spend time at Gloucester Harbor, it is worth mentioning that the direct route from the hotel to the harbor passes over a canal with a bridge that opens for passing boats. Three out of the four times we tried to cross the bridge, we got stuck for 10-20 minutes waiting for the boats to pass. Not a big deal, but it's not quite as convenient to get to the harbor as you might expect. Overall, though, we would be happy to stay at the Castle Manor Inn again and would recommend it to anyone.
