These days, I guess all the world realizes that when it comes to Halloween, Salem, Massachusetts is the center of the nation. With Halloween's status rising each year to the point where it's currently the second most popular celebration behind Christmas, more and more serious Halloween fans are journeying to the Witch City all through the month of October. The magical proceedings and attractions, the harbor, waterfront and the famous witchcraft sites of this distinctive New England city are overflowing with an avalanche of guests from all over the USA and beyond, all wishing to indulge their worship for Halloween with fellow kindred spirits.

So, what else does this collection of celebrants all have in common? Well, if they've journeyed a substantial distance to be here, they'll need a place to land before, during and after the great event, and that can be quite a challenge. I've seen "hotel panic" occur when inexperienced guests realize that thousands of people are coming to Salem for that last weekend in October and they're all in need of accommodations. So, knowing that forewarned is forearmed, I'm going to endeavor to provide you with a bit of insider information about what to anticipate in terms of hotel accommodations in Salem during the major event.

Primarily, if you're a first-time guest planning to come to Salem for Halloween and require a hotel room, it's almost certainly already too late. Serious Halloween lovers who make the pilgrimage every year have very likely scooped up all the rooms in Salem's two major hotels: the Hawthorne and the Salem Waterfront. And knowing the score, they probably booked for this year right after they packed up last year on November 1 (the saddest day of the year for Halloween fans). So now that you know what you're up against, all is not necessarily lost. Besides the two main hotels, Salem boasts about a dozen inns and bed-and-breakfasts. They're your next best bet to nail a room within the city. From here, we need to broaden our horizons. Salem is the county seat of Essex County. As the nucleus, it's encircled by the cities and towns of Danvers, Peabody, Lynn, Swampscott, Beverly and Marblehead (with the Atlantic Ocean accounting for the remaining side). There are motels to be found in all of these spots and although you'd have to drive to Salem or get a taxi or some form of public transportation where it's obtainable, it's not a long journey as every city or town is right across the Salem city line.

Subsequently there's one other tactic to take when you're completely out of luck (and you've really waited far too long to find a room). You can stay in Boston. The capital city of Massachusetts is merely about 17 miles south of Salem and has thousands of hotel rooms. You can land in Boston by car, train or plane and you can then simply take a pleasurable trip to and from Salem by way of the local train or by bus. The train trip lasts about a half-hour and will bring you within walking distance to Salem's city center area, reasonably close to the action. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority knows there are lots of people in the Witch City on Halloween and schedules more than the usual number of trains for the event. You may not actually be staying in town, but the good part is you won't have to get involved in finding your way into the city or parking in Salem on October 31st.

So there you have it. Where there's a will - or a spell - there's a way to locate a spot to stay and get the most out of the spell-binding season in Salem - wherever you end up parking your broom!
