Tips for booking a hotel in Salem

• Add 8.5% to every rate. New Hampshire’s Meals and Rooms (Rentals) Tax applies to hotel rooms and any place with sleeping accommodations, short-term rentals included, for stays of fewer than 185 consecutive days. Our New Hampshire sales tax guide explains it.
• Book early for Canobie weekends. In fall, the park runs Screeemfest Friday through Sunday until Oct. 31, 2026.
• Read the fine print on pets and parking. Holiday Inn charges $5 a day to park and $50 a night for a pet; Red Roof lets one pet stay free; La Quinta parks you free.
• Make sure it’s Salem, NH. At least one booking site we checked listed a Salem, NH motel as being in Massachusetts. Look for “NH” and the 03079 ZIP code on your confirmation. More in Salem NH vs Salem MA.
• No casino hotel yet. The announced plans for the Rockingham Grand, due at the mall in mid-2027, do not include a hotel.
