So overpriced it’s ridiculous. Worst hotel I’ve stayed in 25 years. For $1000/night…. Wow what a disappointment.

The room was amazing. This is the type of room you want to have in your house as a bedroom. One of the best experiences I have ever had.

The property was beautiful. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. My only complaint is that we were expecting to be staying in a haunted hotel as stated in everything we read about the property. When speaking to the staff-no one had ever reported any experiences,nor had the staff who had worked there for years. “The history of the property” was falsely advertised and we were pretty disappointed in that. Especially for the price we had paid for our room. When you see a “bar” in a hotel,which was beautiful, you expect to see a bartender and beverage choices. Had we known there wasn’t either, we would have brought our own. It wasn’t really an issue because there was several across the street. Just know if you want to enjoy a cocktail on the deck, bring your own.

The Merchant is a fantastic location to stay when visiting Salem. It is in close proximity to popular sites, shopping, and restaurants. Our room was spacious and well appointed. The staff was very helpful with their suggestions as well as contacting us about an item we left behind. Would definitely stay there again!
