Top Downtown Salem Hotel Reviews

The Dagny Boston

8/10 Good

"The products could have been better."

The Revolution Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I got off the train at Back Bay so it’s literally a 7 minute walk off the train to the hotel. The staff were helpful and kind and assisted in checking me in early as well as extending my checkout until 1pm the next day. I loved the coffee shop in the lobby. My bed was comfy and it was mostly quiet. I was seeing a show at the Wilbur so it was super convenient for an overnight from Western Mass. I thought I was supposed to get slippers and a robe in the room but I didn’t see one? Overall though, a good experience and comfy room for a decent price."
