Based on wonderful review that we saw on tripadvisor.com, we booked a room at this B&B. We arrived to find smelly, dirty bathrooms, unemptied trash, on cleaned coffee pot from previous guest and no window shades. Fortunately, someone did change the bed so we stayed. The Hotel Manager made many promises regarding immediate housekeeping but we returned to our room at 3pm to find that NOTHING had been done. After personal visit with HM, we had to leave again for an hour and a half while they did housekeeping. While they cut our bill by half, we did not feel that we even received that in exchange. Will not return to this hotel again!

My friend and I stayed here a few years ago during October. The Suzannah Flint Guest House is historic, quaint and charming. The breakfasts were fine, the location great and the innkeepers friendly. It is a place that I would definitely return to. It is within walking distance of the Salem attractions. Salem is a fun town to visit. We've been twice.

I have stayed at the Suzannah Flint house on vacation two years running now and wouldn't stay anywhere else when I visit Salem. The caretakers/owners of this wonderful home are the most gracious and friendly B&B owners I have ever had the pleasure of staying with.

I would recommend to anyone who visits Salem to choose the Suzannah Flint house above all others.

I stayed here a lot over the course of several years when visiting my late dad, who lived the next town over. Don't expect a house that's two centuries old to have the feel of a Holiday Inn. The phone is in the hallway, the bathroom (all of them private, by the way) in one of the rooms on the first floor is at a cramped, weird angle, and the ceiling of the top-floor room is about 6-feet 3-inches high. But what you should expect is an incredibly comfortable bed (the mattress is made in Salem), good cable TV, character, and cleanliness. Scott, the owner, doesn't provide an elaborate breakfast, but it's enough to get you going, and he's happy to make accommodations. The price is about the best in the area, and the location is incredibly convenient. (It actually shares the Hawthorne Hotel's parking lot.) Salem is a wonderful city, with a couple of fine restaurants and many decent ones. The commuter train to Boston is a short walk away, or it's also convenient to drive to the Wonderland park-and-ride and take the subway. Salem itself is the home of a ton of historical things, including the magnificent Peabody-Essex Museum, which is worth an entire day, and the Salem Maritime National Historic Site, part of the National Park Service. Yeah, there's witch trial stuff, too, but you're really cheating yourself if you miss the Peabody-Essex and Salem Historic. (The Peabody-Essex's new addition was designed by Moshe Safdie, and it's been the talk of the architectural museum world.) All of this is within easy walking distance of the Suzannah Flint House.
