The open and airy lobby area of this large conference hotel is beautifully decorated with rich woods, marble, comfortable seating, and a cozy fireplace--making both business and leisure travelers feel instantly welcome. Adjacent to the lobby is the large atrium area. Guests can take a stroll on the walkways, relax on one of the park benches, or grab a seat and a coffee and just people-watch. The guest rooms are equally welcoming with traditional decor, floral comforters, sitting areas, coffee and tea service, and large marble bathrooms with Caswell-Massey bath products. Boredom is not an option while staying here. There is a large indoor pool and whirlpool area, a nicely equipped fitness room, saunas, racquetball and walleyball courts, a game room, and outdoor terraces with a sundeck. There are also golf courses, tennis courts, and jogging trails nearby. After a hard day of work or play, the Parkside Grille, offering traditional New England cuisine, is a great place for guests to meet up with friends for a good meal and casual conversation.
