I must say I was terrified to stay here after reading some reviews but the bad ones couldn’t be farther from the truth. I stayed here one night in October to experience Salem. I was immediately greeted with kindness. The front woman was extremely helpful & even let us check in early! I was told 4pm checkin but arrived around 12pm and was given access to my room nonetheless. After checkin she took the time to explain the main / best things to do in Salem & how we are walking distance from there. 

The room was spacious and tidy. I really enjoyed the space aspect of it. I saw cleaning staff throughout my whole stay keeping the rooms & grounds clean.

The best thing about this hotel is the price and location. You have access to parking & can walk within 10-15 min to all of Salem’s main attractions. Since parking is limited in town this is a huge help & I know my car is safe back at the Clippers Ship Inn. 

Across the street is a convenience store and a Dunkin’ Donuts. 

I really enjoyed my stay here & highly recommended for anything visiting Salem, especially during busy/ expensive Halloween season.

Bang for your buck

Nice little hotel. We stayed in a double queen suite and all amenities were provided. They were very good about switching out towels every day. At check in the receptionist gave us recommendations of what to see and where to eat. Its about a 15 minute walk into town or you could use the taxi cab they referred us to which was only $7 a trip. 2 minute walk to Dunkin, a convenience store, and a  restaurant called 99 Restaurant which had excellent service and food!

Highly recommend!

I stayed here with my kids in October it was perfect. A short walk to Salem common and all the Haunted Happening festivities we had a blast. They have free parking and a Dunkin’ Donuts right across the street. I will definitely be back for more stays 🎃

Nice place to stay

We stayed in a suite. The room was big and clean. Quiet and peaceful stay. There is a quick walk to a waterview. All the museums in Salem are adrive right down the street. The owners were kind and attentive to all of our needs.

Charming Inn

I decided to go with my husband to Salem at the last minute at the end of October. I know, I know…the Clipper Ship Inn was the only one hotel available and it was worth it. The staff was friendly. The room was clean. It had all of the amenities that I needed at the time while being a little under a mile walk from the main square. I would stay here again.

Last Minute…Nice Time

This hotel is conveniently located to most attractions. We stay here often as it is near my daughter’s apartment. It’s not fancy but comfortable and affordable with a welcoming staff. Our home away from home in Beverly.

Fourth Visit 

It's a nice place to stay for one night the place is quit and very close to the major Salem attraction, the lady at the check in is very nice and will help you to find everything you need, but she kips cats in the checking area that makes the place small bad and looks dirty

Do yourself the favor and pay extra NOT to stay here. But let me start off by saying some things I  did like about the Clipper Inn, the cleaning staff was amazing, super nice and accommodating. The walk to all the shops, restaurants, tourist attractions, etc in Salem was just about a mile, so easy to walk to which was fantastic! Now, let me get to the negative aspect of the Clipper Inn. The women at the front desk was extremely rude, not just on one occasion, but the whole weekend. Everything was an issue, and she wanted to charge us for every extra thing. I had a third person stay in the room with us which was unplanned, the room was a suite, with two beds and pull out couch. She charged us an extra $80 for the person to stay... I have never had that happen before. My family and I were standing in the parking lot making plans for the day and she comes out and counts the people in our group and asking us questions, it was so uncomfortable. Once we started walking to town, she gets in her truck and starts going in the same direction we are walking. She slows down behind us and is driving behind us for a few before driving away, it was so bizarre. She also called my family member staying the same weekend and canceled their room the night before for Saturday night. THE NIGHT BEFORE, like what kind of system do you have that you don't notice overbooking until one night before? They were going to stay in our room that night since they didnt have a room and she wanted to charge them an extra $50!!! Like are you kidding me? Other staff was great!

Steer Clear!

My friend and I stayed at the Clipper Ship Inn for 3 nights in late May. The hotel is average, the rooms are large but very dated. The hotel is roughly 25 mins walk away from the town cente but close to a restaurant and liquor store. Free parking is handy. Any positives about this establishment are diminished by the appalling attitude of Sue who I assume is the manager. She was rude from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. She accused us of stealing towels and almost kept our deposit hostage, she refused to let me borrow a bottle opener and instead told me to walk to the liquor store in the middle of a storm, she charged us 25 dollars to check in late!!! She also asked a veteran who was staying in the same block what mental issues he had because he asked to use the fridge. In summary, if you want a nice vacation without any drama don't stay here.

Horrendous staff

This hotel was awful. There was trash outside the office which was a complete mess with papers scattered all around.The grounds needed attention. The grass was high and weeds had taken over in many
areas.There was no shower curtain in our bathroom and no hand towels or washcloths.  The entire place needs serious remodeling. There was no one in the office when we decided to check out at 8 am. We weren’t the only ones waiting on someone to open up. Not worth the price we paid.
