I would say this comes close to being one of my favorite hotel stays ever. The room was clean, modern, welcoming, and cozy. The amenities were great- the breakfast provided in the morning by the coffee bar was awesome! Staff was extremely friendly. The whole building itself was very charming. I have already recommended to friends and family who are thinking of visiting this area. It was a quick drive to Salem. I loved it here. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

Very clean and comfortable room; this is no chain that tries to lipstick a pig - this is a gorgeous and clean little mom and pop. Places like this are a true gem. Staff was incredibly friendly. Probably the cleanest hotel I've ever stayed in; felt like home. Excellent dining on-site, no need to even leave. Plenty of options close by if you do however. Worth it.

Our stay at the Bell Inn and Tavern was terrible. We booked our room nearly 4 months in advance, as we were scheduled for an important event nearby. Since we had an early call time the next day, we had planned on spending time in the Bell Inn’s Cellar the evening before our event. We were looking forward to it. None of that happened. Upon checking in we were informed that a wedding reception would be taking place in the Cellar that night and it would be unavailable. We had a quick lunch at the bar, only to find the staff extremely stressed with wedding preparations, and thus bordering on hostile. We left for several hours. When we returned back to the hotel after dinner at 9:25 pm, we were informed that last call at the bar was at 9:30 pm. As a result, we ended up back in our room (204) by 10pm, only to find that our room was directly above the Cellar and its patio. Consequently, there were dozens of loud drunken people celebrating less than 10 feet from our window. When we went downstairs to see if we could be moved to another room, we were told it wasn’t possible. In fact, other than a disingenuous “apology”, nothing was possible to improve the situation. We were offered nothing. We were told that they would try to quiet people down, but obviously that didn’t last because people celebrating at a wedding reception are there to have a good time. In the end, we spent hours stuck in an incredibly loud room, as uninvited and involuntary participants in someone else’s wed

No dining room breakfast in the morning. Simply a banana, boxed sweets and Keurig coffee. Location is not the nicest area. Room was lovely. Staff was friendly. Only big plus is the driving proximity to Salem. Was hoping to be able to walk around the area, not an option. Otherwise, inn itself was pleasant.

The Bell Inn is a very nice hotel. We stayed only 1 night, so did not get to experience all of the amenities. However, check in was very smooth, the staff was excellent and the complimentary coffee and breakfast was a nice benefit. The surrounding area was calm, although a short drive was necessary to get to any activities. It is a great place to stay when visiting Boston or Salem. I would come back and spend a few more nights in the future.

Our stay was perfect in every way! The staff was incredible, the food was amazing and the accommodations were superb. I actively seek out old houses converted into hotels and the restoration was very well done. All of the modern amenities with old world charm. I also want to give a special shout out to Megan, the hospitality manager. She went above and beyond. I can tell she really loves working here and she treats her guests like great friends. Thank you so much for an incredible experience!

Fabulous Experience
Wow, what a perfect little Inn and Tavern! We had the perfect stay. The room was newly renovated, very clean, and there was a common living area on our level where they served pastries and fruit for breakfast, along with juice, coffee and water. We arrived late and called to place an order before the Tavern closed. They said they would be happy to wait for us or we could order and it would hot and ready when we arrived. The manager helped us with the menu and we had a fantastic meal. I would come back to the area just to stay here. Thank you!

Beautiful and Lovely Inn
The Bell Inn is a lovely, beautifully restored inn! We loved everything about our stay, even got to talk with the owner and she told us how her son restored the old house back into something beautiful! Definitely stay here if you get a chance, the room was clean, quiet and comfortable. We stayed with our two young kids (2 and 6) and my mother in law and it was a wonderful visit. The food in the restaurant downstairs is amazing and the drinks in the cellar bar were delicious! Bartender was lovely and the live music was perfect! We truly enjoyed our stay and wished we had stayed longer. Breakfast pastries in the second floor common area was a great added touch! If we ever make it back to the Salem area, we will absolutely stay here again!
