The Cove At Salem
We were in the one bedroom suite with a full kitchen. It was very clean and very nice. We honestly didn't see any of the staff even once which was pretty funny lol. We checked in at 11:00 p.m. so we got a text with our room number and PIN code to get in and then check out was also just a phone call ...

Great room with loft! Shower was wonderful although we stayed in January and water wouldn’t get past lukewarm. Comfy bed! Within walkable distance to bars, restaurants and shops. Front desk staff was helpful and nice.
