Suburban hotel that primarily serves business travelers on the northern part of 128-tech belt. Close to Merrimack Valley & Boston but not exactly convenient. Modern style common areas. The bar/lounge is separated from hotel front by cheesy glass-panel fireplace. The bar scene is dreadful. They're so desperate for clientelle they're serving high-school students. Bar closes early, so not a lot of barflies, which might be a good thing. But if you're traveling & want to wind down, it's a bummer. Prices are airport-level outrageous - 2 drinks cost you as much as a bottle of premium liquor; beers are $8-12, cocktails/shots $10-15. The best deal might be a $14 flight of bourbon (2 options, all "premium" pedestrian). The menu would make a dive bar blush. Typical Marriott.
