FantasticSolo stay
The property is beautiful and well designed. The room was very clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The fireplace was wonderful. They had snacks and beverages available 24/7. It’s right in the heart of downtown Salem and within walking distance to great restaurants, museums, and local landmarks. I had an excellent experience staying at The Merchant and hope to stay there again.

We stayed in Room #8. It was very spacious and clean. We had coffee and snacks right outside of our room. After hours check-in was clear and easy.

Fantastic Loved our visit. Greeted with warm cookies, and plenty of goodies in the fridge. Yummy coffee which can be had at any time and relaxing seating area. Across the street are a mainstay of hotels of all types, so the choices were many and diverse. Rooms well appointed, and the beds are some of the best sleep offered. Parking on site makes lifre grand too !!!
