The inn has an informal, friendly, relaxed atmosphere, and is located on a very quiet dead end street directly across from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Historic House of the Seven Gables. Morning Glory is also just a stone's throw from beautiful Salem Harbor, the new Salem/Boston ferry, and the Pickering Wharf shopping district. Salem’s Walking Heritage Trail, trolley stop and America’s oldest candy company are located just outside the front door.

As seen in the Boston Sunday Globe, July 2008
“Salem Inn close to all, but why budge. We found the Morning Glory's lovely roof deck, with its reclining chairs, harbor view, ocean breeze, and hanging flowers, as much a draw as the historical sites... An afternoon on that deck with a book and sunscreen is a perfect antidote to an overly busy week at work. Shea and his partner, Marcel Dufour, are warm, welcoming, and attentive...after more than a decade in the business, Shea seems to have mastered innkeeping in every way."
