Coach House Inn

The Coach House Inn is, simply put, beautiful. Charming, elegant, and affordable, with its own parking lot, it seemed the best choice when I was visiting Salem and I was so pleased with that decision when I arrived. I was traveling with a friend so we chose a third floor room with two beds and a small bathroom. The bathroom was VERY small but it was enough space to get by; the room also had a small kitchenette in the closet with a refrigerator and an antique stove.
With no formal dining room, the «breakfast» part of the bargain is delivered to your door every morning, a basket full of fruit, juices, warm pastries, and more. An absolute delight. There is no question that I would stay here again!

Hi Folks, Well, my friend and I stayed at The Coach House Inn and LOVED it. The owner and the people who worked there were wonderful. The service was fabulous — they really really went out of their way to make us comfortable and took care of any request immediately. AND the place is LOVELY LOVELY LOVELY — the rooms are SO charming and comfortable.
THE BREAKFAST is INCREDIBLE (every morning they put a CHARMING basket in front of your door with a different breakfast every day — always a few fresh fruits like apples AND pears and/​or bananas AND fruit salad, AND always croissants and muffins, pastries, etc. and also each day you get EITHER hard-​boiled eggs, quiche, yogurt and more — plus always juices, chocolates, butter and jams and more !!! The kitchens come with microwave, small refrigerator and coffee maker — and there are teas, coffee, hot chocolate, etc.
As far as the location, it was a lovely and easy walk to the heart of town — and just a lovely lovely location.
I RECOMMEND IT MORE THAN ANY PLACE WE HAVE STAYED IN SALEM (and we have stayed at a few other very nice places, as well).
I hope you stay at the Coach House Inn the next time you visit Salem. You won’t be sorry.
Regards,
Deanna Benfante

Lovely place with a fabulous owner.
I am not into all the lace and frills, so I actually chose this place because it seemed elegant, but not over the top cutesy. I chose well.
I had a late check in, but with a private parking lot and the key waiting for me, it was simple and easy. No elevator, but other than that, no complaints.
The room was clean, fresh and very comfortable. My private bathroom was outside the room, but it was also clean and fully stocked.
Nice touch to have breakfast delivered to me each morning in a basket outside my room. And, a very special thanks to the owner for kindly accommodating my gluten free diet.
The free tickets to the Salem Witch Museum was a nice perk.
I would definitely stay here again.

I can’t recommend this place enough. I give it five stars in its price range, which was well under $ 200. We found ourselves without lodging and stopped someone on the street who recommended this place. The greater Boston area is pricey and Salem can be a tourist trap. We booked our room sight unseen and were concerned about the low rate, especially when passing though the momentarily sketchy neighborhood on the way.
But what a wonderful surprise, the house, while in need of a little TLC, was nonetheless absolutely beautiful, with many of the original furnishings and fixtures intact. The operator (and I assume, owner) Pat, was warm and kind and lives on the premises. The room itself had bottled water, a coffee maker, tea, robes and a comfy, firm bed.
I have to say this place had my favorite shampoo, conditioner and lotion EVER, which is saying something. The room and everything in it was extremely clean and tied for first place with my usual (and much more expensive) local vacation spot closer to home. Which is also saying something.
I found the location to be a relief, we were away from all the tour buses and congestion and the street parking is unrestricted (unlike the tourist area of Salem).
The downside is the that the bathroom is down the hall, even though it was exclusively ours to use, and the shower was very small, but again, you have to consider the really fabulous price point and other pluses.
While we can afford the Hawthorne, The Coach House would be our preferred choice of lodging for any future visits to Salem, hands down.

I had a tour of every room in the Coach House. Talk about fancy elegance! This place has it all. I would much rather stay here than most hotels. The rooms are just plain charming and most of them have en suite bathrooms.
Plus 1 star for having its own parking lot.
Minus 1 star for the distance from downtown. It’s approximately 1 mile. Certainly doable. Even for a midget on a muggy summer day.
