I have a 4 year old and 2 year old twins (BOGO for twins :P) and it was age appropriate. As the first few families there, there was plenty of space for our children to play. There are two playscapes, 2 specialty rooms and a kitchen/grocery play area. As it got busier, they opened an art room with markers and crayons that were a hit. We spent about 90 minutes there and it was the out of the house fun we needed on a chilly March day.

Great location--right in the center. Two things of note--we stayed on the 6th floor, room 622. The 6th floor is the pet-friendly floor (we didn't have any pets), and my husband opened the door to get ice and there was a mini Doberman pinscher (cute!) desperate to get in our room. Then the owner came around the corner and could not figure out why he wanted to get in our room so bad. My husband went in search of the ice and saw the couple with the dog was staying in the room that would be exactly parallel to ours on the other side. I had a great sleep. Husband did as well except around 3 or so he was awoken to a hard poking several times on his shoulder. He said I was dead asleep and facing away so it was not me. We are both FAR from superstitious and don't believe in ghosts etc, so his mind went to someone broke in--but everything was locked up quite securely. He even checked under the bed! After the fact we found out about its ghost stories with specifically the 6th floor--specifically room 612. Again we were room 622, so does 612 (with the doggie) mirror ours? Other people have also mentioned getting poked as well, which we again didn't see about the hotel till after. So between the desperate dog and the poke, probably nothing--but most creeped out I've been in a while!! (Not so creeped out that we wouldn't go back!)

When we were walking in Salem, we came across an elderly lady in a wheelchair and she was…read morecompletely lost finding this hotel. We all stop what we we were doing and walked safely to this hotel. I went to the front desk to let the lady working on July 9 around midnight about this guest being lost, and she was extremely rude, annoyed and told me that she the guest has been calling the hotel for three hours asking for help. The lady who is working, the Front Desk has short gray hair and was very rude and obviously did not care about a guest at this hotel. If a guest is lost, wouldn't it be the right thing to do by assisting them instead of complaining about a loss elderly guest who was a retired school teacher? When other people in the hotel were leaving, the same lady was talking to another lady about the guest and talking about how rude they were and how much they were drinking, though when I was there, I did not witness any of this. When I recommend going to this hotel based off of the people who represent this Brand, the answer is no.

I was in Boston for a wedding and the bridal party came here for dinner one night before the…read morewedding. I don't typically go to Tex-Mex/Mexican restaurants very often but I had a good meal and experience here! A few of us arrived around 7pm and were easily able to find a parking spot and walk in. The woman working, what looked like, the hostess station wasn't the most attentive or friendly so I was a little put-off at the start. We grabbed a seat at the bar though as we waited for the rest of the bridal party to arrive and enjoyed a drink and some chips and salsa. The chips and salsa were tasty and just what we needed to tide us over until dinner. The staff working the bar were friendly enough and checked in periodically. Around 8pm, the rest of the bridal party arrived. We had made a reservation for 8pm so we were immediately seated at a cluster of tables, no hassles here. At this point, our waitress came over and dropped off menus, chips and salsa, and took our drink orders. To go along with the chips, we asked for a couple bowls of fresh guacamole. It took them a bit to get this out to our table as I think there was a little bit of confusion as we had a waiter and waitress taking care of us, but when it did arrive, it tasted very fresh and was delicious - a treat for me as I rarely get guacamole. We were given plenty of time to review the menu and sip on our drinks - I ordered a Pumpkinhead Ale (Shipyard) with brown sugar/cinnamon on the rim and woah, was that delicious! For dinner, I ordered Arroz con Pollo: chicken breast sautéed in a special sauce with mushrooms, onions and bell peppers and served over a bed of rice with melted Jack cheese on top and garnished with sour cream and avocado. This dish was phenomenal! The pieces of chicken were hot and tender and I loved the spice of the special sauce. Also, the amount of food they served up was VERY generous, absolutely huge portions. I definitely left fat and happy! haha I was amazed at the quality and amount of food I got for the price, very reasonable I think. I wanted to give a big shout-out to our waitress for splitting up the checks - I know that is tedious and aggravating but she was very accommodating and patient with us! I enjoyed my time at Acapulcos! The service was a little slow but our waitress was very nice, friendly, and accommodating, and the quality and amount of food was excellent. I would have no issue coming back to grab a meal and beer here again the next time I'm in Boston/Salem.

This little club has a decent amount of space, a great kitchen, and a ton of great Portuguese drinks. We enjoyed the Sagres and Super Bock as well as the Sumol. The only downsides to this venue are that the parking lot is small as well as the fact that they ran out of some drinks. That being said, there is a decent amount of street parking and no one went without a drink. Overall, it was a great experience and we hope to spend time here again in the future. This is also a great place to hold an event so try and find a member to hook you up!

Unfortunately, the overall experience was very disappointing. Our food took over an hour to come out, and when one of my friends received her shrimp scampi, there was a hair in the dish. When another server stopped by to check on us, we explained what had happened, and her response was, "Oh, do you want a new dish?" Of course we wanted a new dish. Would anyone want to eat food after finding someone else's hair in it? We let our actual server know, and she was apologetic, which we appreciated. However, there was no compensation or any additional effort made to address the situation. What was most disappointing was how little concern the restaurant seemed to show about the issue. Between the extremely long wait, finding a hair in the food, and the lack of response from management/staff, I left feeling very disappointed. Unfortunately, the food itself wasn't particularly good either, which made the experience even more frustrating. I would not recommend this restaurant.

We recently went for my sister's birthday while I was in town. The building is starting to look a bit rundown (note the missing windows above the main entrance) and there is quite a bit of staining on the ceiling, apparently from water leaks. The wait staff was great, and we all like the salad bar and the bread and cheese that you cut yourself. The entrees, however, were disappointing. The meat on three of our four orders was overcooked (my nephew's medium rare steak was burned and charred on the outside), and three of the four sides (steamed vegetables and rice) were served ice cold. I ordered the baked scallop and steak combo and the scallops were delicious, but my medium steak was well done, and my vegetables were cold. By the time they brought out replacement vegetables and rice, we were already almost halfway through our meals. I used to love coming here when I was younger when the wait staff dressed in overalls and hats like train engineers. This place definitely needs a makeover to get it back to the fine dining experience it used to be.
