This is a question I see pretty regularly in my Facebook group<\/a> as well as via email, so I figured today on the blog we could chat about it! Should I book a hotel right in Salem, MA? What are the pros and cons of staying in Salem? Should I book a hotel that is in a neighboring town? Is it worth it?<\/p>\n

Pros of staying right in Salem<\/h3>\n

There are definitely benefits to booking a room in Salem as opposed to in a neighboring town. First off, you’re nice and close. You don’t have to drive into Salem and worry about traffic if you’re visiting in the fall. You don’t have to worry about parking (if you picked accommodations that offer parking). If you are feeling overwhelmed by October crowds and need a few minutes of quiet, you can easily retreat to your hotel. You also get the entire experience, in full. If you’re coming into the city in October, staying right in the middle of the action really does add a certain element to the visit and makes you feel immersed in what Salem is like.<\/p>\n

Where can I stay that’s close to the action?<\/h3>\n

If you’re seeking a hotel in Salem that is in a good location, I’d suggest the Hawthorne Hotel<\/a>. They are located in a prime spot, in my opinion.<\/p>\n
