The Artisan at Tuscan Village, Salem, NH, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

One of our favorites. You don’t have to leave Tuscan Village to have a great time.

It was quiet

Exceeded our expectations! Great family stay

No dig, but this is just a budget hotel with "modern" decor to justify the higher rate. Pros: Located in a shopping center that offers a wide variety of a food options. Smack dab in the middle of Salem if your visiting family or friends that live anywhere near Salem or Haverhill. Coffee shop in lobby is good and fairly priced. Tasty Italian restaurant that is the namesake of the complex. Cons: Noisy. Through the walls, floors and windows. Room doors have a tight closing mechanism that literally slams the room door shut. This makes for loud and startling bangs at all hours in the night. Shower head is narrow which makes rinsing soap off a entire activity. Front desk staff provided no info about the property. Where is the gym, ice, amenities? It's an adventure. Many people use the lobby as a destination but we got the impression that few were actually hotel guests. The area is a noisy shopping district still under construction. This is a hot spot for the locals to drive around and show off their music and noisy cars and motorcycles. From your room you'll see (and hear) the same cars driving around the streets, around the roundabouts, and in front of the hotel and along the side streets. While it wasn't extremely expensive, for the area and the quality of the building and the overall experience, we probably would have been happier saving a few hundred and staying at a Hyatt Place or Best Western.

Clean rooms, wonderful staff. Lots to do in walking distance.
