Sonesta Select Boston Danvers

Really lovely hotel - had decorations for Halloween too and I love that little extra effort! Rooms were spacious and the bed was massive and very comfy! There was air con, coffee facilities and a fridge. Bathroom was clean and again spacious. Shower was a good temperature and power was good. We were on top floor so was very quiet too. Location is excellent - only 15 min or so drive from Salem (obviously traffic slows you down) and it is behind a Target so we were able to buy some drinks etc for the room. Staff were friendly and there was a nice area for breakfast, watching TV and socialising. There was a really nice pool area and although it was shut for October it looks like a really lovely place to spend a day! Cleaners wouldn't clean room unless you were there 4 days; however there is a notice in bathroom saying if you need anything or bins cleaned etc you just have to ask! I would recommend staying here.

It's a pretty clean hotel, although the first room we were given smelled strangely but a very helpful and polite receptionist changed the room for us and the other one was good. The mattress on a bed was too soft to my taste. One thing I want to tell you about is the location of the hotel. It's located on the backyard of a huge plaza, so when you exit the hotel you are looking at the back wall of Target and Staples. The good thing is that you are also looking at the back wall of Total Wine which was very convenient. The other side of the hotel faces an office plaza. Since we were staying at the hotel just at nights it did not bother us and the proximity of Total Wine was a pleasant surprise, we did not complain about the location at all. The breakfast is not included but again the plaza helped - there is a Panera Bread, you can either walk for 5 minutes, or drive for 1 minute there from the hotel, so breakfast was not an issue.

The beds were really comfortable. We used the coffee tea bar set up in our room a lot and that was a comfort. We appreciated having a fridge for our leftovers and cold soda and water. Check in gal went out of her way to find me some decaffeinated tea for me on our first night late arrival. That was really nice of her and a real comfort after a long and late trip there.

The location is ideal! Needed to run to Target a couple of times and it was great that it was literally 30 seconds away. It’s also very accessible to 128 and only 10 minutes from my daughter’s college. I would stay again just for the location! Bed was comfortable, thermostat worked well (very important!), staff was friendly.

Very clean rooms, comfortable enough. Had everything we needed. Did not eat breakfast at the hotel so can't rate that. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had a couple of special requests and they accommodated both of them.
