I booked Daniel’s House as it is the oldest inn in Salem but also because they offered free breakfast each morning so I thought that would save us money. It cost nearly £200 per night and the bed was very comfortable, the room was big and both the bedroom and bathroom were spotlessly clean. The only think that let it down for us was the breakfast. The bread and muffins were under a plastic lidded container but were left out all the time, and I found it all to be dry and slightly hard and even after toasting I just couldn’t eat it. Coffee was good and there was fruit and cereal bars, but comparing to other places to stay in Salem, I don’t think this was worth the £200 per night seeing as we then had to buy breakfast each morning at one of the local eateries.
The location was great but they also charge a $10 baggage hold which ruined our plans for the day we left as we thought $30 to hold 3 bags was crazy, I’ve never had to pay for baggage storage before whether we’ve stayed in hotels or B+Bs so we didn’t and that meant we couldn’t visit one of the attractions that we’d planned to
