"It's conveniently located, easy to get to the City. The toll is relatively cheap. However have in mind the I-90 crosses under the hotel building. Which is pretty cool engineering buy we could always hear the traffic noise."

Verified traveler

I was born + raised in Lowell. It has changed SO MUCH. Overcrowded, no where to park, difficult to get around residential streets due to people parking cars on both sides of the streets + on the sidewalks. Very sad. Very uncomfortable!

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

It’s trying- growth of the colleges and having the national park are helping it upscale a bit.
