What guests think

At Residence Inn Boston North Shore/Danvers, travelers consistently praise the friendly staff and convenient base for Salem and the North Shore, while noting the property’s age alongside intermittent noise and maintenance frustrations, creating a stay with clear strengths and trade-offs.

Cleanliness is widely praised, though some guests reported issues like pests, lingering odors, or missed housekeeping. The suite layouts provide ample space and full kitchens, but decor can feel dated, beds skew firm, and highway or HVAC sounds may bother light sleepers. Amenities such as an outdoor pool, grills and a fire pit are appreciated, yet parking near units can be tight or distant, and breakfast, though varied, sometimes runs short or disappoints. Expect a practical, apartment-style stay suited to families and longer visits, with trade-offs around age and noise.

This property was unique with outdoor entry to each unit. The staff were attentive and friendly. The only challenge was finding a convenient parking spot near the room. Because there is one entry from outside, it can be a bit of a walk depending on where you find a spot. We idled behind parked cars to unload and then found a spot. Aside from that, it was a great experience. The room was clean and super comfortable. It is close to the highway, yet we couldn’t hear any of the cars driving from the room. The full kitchen was a well set up perk.

I highly recommend this hotel! The staff members were friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable about the area. I would give this hotel a 10/10 for cleanliness of the rooms, common areas, pool and maintained grounds. The room was like a studio apartment, with plenty of seating and open area. The price was far below the other hotels in the area during peak season. The included breakfast had everything including, even iced coffee.

All the amenities were nice. We stayed for 5 nights. The hot breakfast was good and offered different selections each day. After the 1st night the freezer quit working. We were given another ground floor suite right away. The room was comfortable enough for 3. The pool and outside courtyard seating area looked inviting. We would stay here again.. Things that might need to be addressed are: 1. Many nights there was not a parking spot near our section and my husband dropped us off near the door and had to find parking at the front of the motel. When walking back to our suite, he noticed that many cars parked near our unit did not have the registration paper in their windows. We wonderd if there were extra guests using the parking spots. 2. The toilet kept running and we needed to jiggle the handle or adjust the flapper inside.

Rooms

Spacious, apartment-style suites with full kitchens—and some duplex layouts—offer plenty of room to spread out. Decor reads dated for some, beds run firm, and noise from the highway or neighboring units, plus occasional nonworking fireplaces, can detract.

Large, comfortable room with full kitchen! Right off of Rte. 1. Convenient location. Unfortunately, it’s right next to Costco and the sounds of trucks doing early morning deliveries, and back-up beeping noises woke us up twice in the wee hours of the morning.

Upon checking in, my husband and I were greeted by a friendly staff member who thoroughly explained everything we needed to know. Our room was located on the opposite side of the entrance, requiring a short drive and climbing one flight of stairs. The accommodations featured a spacious king-sized bed, full kitchen, sofa, and a fireplace (though it appears to be non-functional for some time), plus a shower-tub combination. The room was immaculately clean, though there was a curious scent reminiscent of insect repellent—which I certainly prefer over encountering any actual pests! The bed provided good comfort, though it was on the firmer side. We appreciated the entertainment options, with access to Netflix on the television. The blackout curtains were particularly impressive, creating a perfectly dark environment when drawn. Breakfast exceeded our expectations with a diverse selection including sausage, oatmeal, waffles, cheese/vegetable omelets, mixed fruits, yogurts, and bagels with various spreads. My only suggestion for improvement would be the omelets, which were slightly overcooked and dry. Overall, our experience was positive, and I would definitely choose to stay here again.

It was nice to be close enough to Salem but also at a distance from the chaos of it all (again Halloween weekend). Just minutes from Connor’s farm. The duplex suites were awesome, would definitely stay here again.

Older property, but well maintained. Friendly staff, and clean. Only negative was that the fireplace was not working; which would have help heat the main floor. When turning the heat up it made the upper loft area very warm. So we kept the temperature lower and used extra blankets when watching TV, etc.

2 night stay. Convenient to commute between Salem and Rockport. Our apartment was 2 bedroom as we travel with our adult son. Its hard to find suites that are not just a pull out sofa in the Livingroom area. We did not use the stove or dishwasher. Best feature was the ability to set the air conditioning down to 60 and actually feel it. The bed mattress was too hard for us, but that is a personal preference. Room cleaning service is by request, but we found extra towels in the closet, so didn't ask for any.

Has lots of potential but super outdated. Beds are like rocks, can hear everything outside, highway is right next to it. Very, very noisy. They allow pets so be aware that your neighbors may have animals that bark all night like ours did. Needs some TLC for sure.

Great location. We were heading into Boston and different parts of New England on our one week stay. This hotel is in Danvers and was a perfect distance away from the city, not too far and not too close. Breakfast was great. Staff was friendly. We got an upgraded room at no extra charge. It was a great stay and trip. Would totally stay here again.

The property is next to an abandoned restaurant behind a Costco parking lot so not very pretty area. There was also a homeless person hanging in the parking lot next door. Sign on room door advises you to keep doors and windows locked all the time for your "safety". The room was big and 2 floors which is nice, however, for a price point of $450 per night, this should have been a luxury resort, not a blah hotel in a crappy location. Was very disappointed.

Really happy with our recent stay. My hubby is picky and said he’d rate their breakfast 10/10. Cage free eggs was nice to see being used. Our shower could have been a little cleaner downstairs but honestly it was comfy, spacious, and the accommodations were excellent. My kids enjoyed the outdoor pool and we wished we had the chance to use the beautiful fire pit! 18 minutes to Salem, 30 to downtown Boston. Highly recommend!

The staff were lovely and helpful. However, the noise coming from the heating unit in the room was loud and unbearable. Every time the heating unit switched on, it had a loud noise which felt like being inside a factory; and this would happen countless times during the night. I barely managed to have a proper sleep. Additionally, the quality and choice of breakfast was not to the standard expected from Marriott.
