Overall a great stay at the Merchant. The girl at check in was very friendly and helpful. She also made some banging freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. Our room was room 7 on the third floor. The room was very spacious, the bed was comfortable and clean. The room could have used some more decorations but that’s not the end of the world. The bathroom was ok; the water splashed out underneath the glass which was not ideal. The water pressure was a little low. The bathroom had essentially no counter space, had to resort to using the toilet seat as a countertop. The morning breakfast options were ok, maybe more variety or changes of options would’ve been nice. The location cannot be beat, super convenient. Also fun that almost every ghost tour comes by, but sadly my husband and I did not have any paranormal experiences here during our stay. All in all, would recommend and would come back.

It was great and hit the spot. The only thing I might work on is the email for late arrivals and finding the parking lot. For first timers to Salem it was confusing but we made it.

We checked in after hours so no staff to help us but the directions for what to do after hours was spot on. We just had a difficult time with our heavy luggage walking up 3 flights of stairs. All the snack amenities were awesome. We always got in too late at night to enjoy a fresh hot cookie but it’s a great touch.

The entire experience was phenomenal from start to finish. The staff was sweet. The after office hours check in went smoothly. Our room was absolutely perfect. The fresh snacks every day were top notch! The coffee bar was nice. Everything is within walking distance. Will definitely be staying here again.
