Google maps took us behind the property. It was a bit confusing but we called the hotel and they were very helpful. Lovely place and so convenient.

It was interesting that it was a Historical house where George Washington slept. But offered no amenities . No bar or breakfast served.

The Merchant was a very unique stay. The front desk people were very friendly when making the reservation for the property as well as one of their parking spots. The room was gorgeous and very well cleaned. The snacks and drinks offered in their kitchen was a very welcomed treat upon returning at night.

Staff was very welcoming and friendly. Room was very clean and well-maintained, and the overall ambiance was nice. Location is perfect for walking around Salem, and a pretty easy 5-6 minute walk from the trains. Parking is available, but very limited, so make sure you contact the staff and discuss parking options. Since this is an older property, I believe stairs are the only option for the rooms on the higher floors, so if you have issues with stairs you might want to discuss this with staff as well. Overall, a lovely place with friendly staff and a great location. I would definitely recommend it.

Shared fridge was not ideal. The air conditioning wasn’t great, but the staff were kind and helpful. During our stay, there was construction which made exiting with our luggage more strenuous than expected. Really enjoyed the heated bathroom floor and fireplace, however the room was smaller than desired. Will not return to this hotel if staying in Salem again.

The only thing we found strange was that the TV was on the same wall as the bed and could not be turned to face the bed so you had to watch on an angle. Maybe add an arm that can turn or put it on a tv table to make it more accessible.
