Everything going for it and I mean everything. Greatest hosts you'll ever meet. Superb breakfast and I don't eat very much. Donald has ties to Nova Scotia so that stands him in preety good company, Ada doesn't need any of that because she's the real deal! Just a great place. Hope that Donald replies to my orb pic! Thanx Wayne, Irene, Caralee and Garrett.

Ada and Donald Roberts were delightful hosts. The room was charming with small touches of hospitality, and extremely clean. The conversations with them and the other guests at the breakfast table made our trip to Salem more enjoyable. If you go to Salem, this is the place to stay.

I was up in Salem visiting friends in the area and decided at the last minute to stay overnight. The minute I stepped foot into this bed & breakfast, I felt that I had picked a good one. I was brought up to my room and was very satisfied to how the room was decorated. As for the cleanliness of my room, I honestly have never been in a cleaner inn or bed & breakfast. These owners take great pride in their home and it shows!! It is only a few minute walk to all the attractions and shopping in Salem. You'd be a fool not to stay here!

I would highly recommend the Amelia Payson House to anyone visiting Salem. Ada and Donald were amazing hosts, and our room was excellent. The house was beautiful and every inch was spotless. Our room was very comfortable, especially with the all important air conditioner during the really humid weather, and it was large enough to move around. We were amazed at how quiet it was. The bedroom had an outer door and an inner door which helped keep out any noise from the hallway. Breakfast each day was delicious. The location is very good as well. We parked the car when we arrived, and it didn't move once during our entire stay. The historic part of Salem is quite small, so everything was within walking distance. I can honestly say that I have no bad things to say about our stay.
