Full service hotel. Friendly staff. Its what you expect from a Marriott. Lobby is really nice and the bar is nice. Restaurant is decent, a little overpriced , even for hotel prices. I had some crab cakes and shrimp cocktail the first night. Crab cakes were legit, but the shrimp,was a little mushy and the cocktail sauce needed a little more horseradish for my liking. A tip for the staff: put a little side of horseradish on the plate so foodies can adjust the heat. I had scallops and soup, clam chowder as well. Soup is not at all up,to New England standards. Watery, bland, and not very full of clams. Scallops were great , but the risotto was too salty.

Gym on site is just ok. The low ceiling makes it hard to combine any weights with standing movements, say squat to overhead press.

Room was great. Love the renovation with barn doors on the bathroom. I always hate the tiny bathroom with an inward opening door that makes it impossible to be in bathroom with the door open.

All in all, its a solid place just shy of five stars for reasons I noted.
