Top Downtown Gloucester Hotel Reviews

Salem Waterfront Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is amazing. It sits on the water, but in the middle of everything. Walking around to see the sites was extremely easy."

Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Boston - Peabody by IHG

8/10 Good

"This facility is a nice, serviceable property that could be better with a little work done on it. There is only one elevator for the whole building and it’s slow and the lights on the buttons don’t light up so you weren’t sure you called the elevator until it did or didn’t get there. Pool floor was a bit slippery. Could probably have used someone to squeegee the floors in a few places. Small issues with the bathroom as well which I spoke to the clerk on. Good location. Solid amenities and a decent room. 7 out of 10"

The Northshore Hotel - Boston/Danvers

10/10 Excellent

"The room was nice and cold when we first walked in which was so nice on a hot day. Everything was very clean and the shower was really nice and new. We were only here as an overnight stay while on a road trip but it was definitely a great decision to stay here!"

The Hotel Salem

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely get this hotel for a seamless trip to Salem. It’s right in the middle of everything (even more so than other hotels like the Hawthorne) and it’s so convenient to stop by anytime you need the restroom (since they’re limited to customers only everywhere) or to drop off bags. Everything is a 4 minute walk away, and at most a 10 minute walk. The staff are very friendly and helpful. On our check out date, our flight didn’t leave til later and they will happily store your luggage to enjoy more of the town until it’s time for you to go. If I come back to Salem, I’m definitely staying here again. The convenience is just too worth it."

DoubleTree by Hilton Boston North Shore

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, comfy beds and nice staff.. my only issue is that I was surprised you had to pay $10 for parking in Danvers…not the end of the world but a money grab. I also thought the breakfast was mediocre… nothing bad or great but a little pricey at $18… I would stay there again in a heartbeat but prob wouldn’t get breakfast unless you have points or it’s included in a package. Easy access to highway."
