Most of what is downtown nowadays is for tourists. I miss Almy's but that'll never get me respected in the Salem Common Neighborhood Group. Perhaps if you can pretend that Hawthorne lived in the 1950's, that would get people interested.

With few exceptions ( see above) all of the accommodation’s are in walking distance to all of the attractions. There is no need to drive anywhere in town once you get to Salem. If you are planning to stay at one of the larger hotels parking is included. If you are thinking about a B&B you should call ahead and ask about parking availability. In the off season Salem has plenty of parking but starting in the summer parking gets tight. During October the city enacts a parking ban allowing only residents to park in many of the neighborhoods.
