Breakfast
Guests at The Hotel Salem have expressed a unanimous desire for breakfast options to complement their stay. The lack of a breakfast service is a notable point of feedback. While a complimentary morning coffee in the lobby is appreciated, visitors feel that offering even a simple breakfast spread would greatly enhance their experience. The absence of breakfast, as well as the scarcity of in-room coffee makers, are areas where the hotel could improve. Additionally, the rooftop bar and restaurant did not meet expectations, further highlighting the need for better food and beverage options. The positive sentiment from the guests focuses on small touches like the coffee service, but there's a clear call for a more comprehensive breakfast offering.

The rooftop bar stands out as a unique attraction with stunning views, being the only one of its kind in Salem.

The friendly and accommodating staff significantly enhance the dining experience. However, some guests found the food to be merely okay or disappointing, citing instances where meals were cold or dining reservations were abruptly canceled.
