A great stay at a historically significant building converted to enchanting and modern rooms.
Pros:

Conversion of an architecturally significant building and repurposed as rental rooms. Located in a great community of interesting buildings, retail outlets and history. We will be back to spend more time than just overnight and too few hours exploring the area.

Cons:

This was my first time staying at an facility that is "relatively unattended" and access is secured strictly by door codes. I didn't necessarily consider it a negative but it was a first for me.

Clean and Comfortable - Home Away from Home
Pros:

The room was very spacious; the kitchen is full-size well-equipped with coffee and teas. All the necessary things to cook and wash up. The bed and pillows were comfortable; the entire space was very clean and comfortable. The property is very quiet and centrally located to shopping, grocery and restaurants. There is a small farmers market across the street on Saturdays. The history and character of the building have been well preserved. I would definitely recommend staying at The Lofts.

Cons:

Nothing

My Favorite Hotel in the Area!
Pros:

I booked my next stay before I left the hotel this weekend. I always look for an excuse to stay at this hotel. The hotel is so convenient to restaurants, shops and Route 81. The Farmers Market is right across the street on Saturday mornings. There is an excellent coffee shop a short distance away, Mill Mountain Coffee Shop. The rooms are always very clean. The kitchen and bathroom are sparkling clean. I find the beds to be very comfortable.

From Car Showroom to Modern Hotel
Pros:

This historic building is amazing as a place to stay. It has all the modern touches you’d find in a fine hotel and the price cannot be beat. It’s an easy walk to coffee, lunch and dinner as well as many other spots (whether it is getting a tattoo or finding a book to read). Make this your next spot to stay when in Salem!

El esfuerzo por estar en la graduación
Pros:

La limpieza de como encontré la habitación, el cuarto estuvo bastante cómodo.

Cons:

La verdad que por ese precio te puedes alojar en un hotel de muy buena categoría, pero entiendo que aprovechan la fecha de las graduaciones para subir sus tarifas, si fuera otra fecha no pagaría el precio.

Unique stay in a walkable downtown
Pros:

I loved the atmosphere and uniqueness of the property. The way they renovated this former car showroom is impressive. We loved it so much we stayed an extra day. The one bedroom suite is so spacious.
