Found just a couple of blocks back from the river, this Marriott-owned property is in the downtown area of the city, two miles from the university, with airport transfers provided. It has 135 bedrooms set across 12 floors, with a choice of suites, king and queen rooms. Guests can dine onsite at The Gregory restaurant and lounge, or grab a quick bite and a drink at Milford’s On Third, the hotel’s Big Apple-inspired deli. The Watermark also offers four meeting venues, including a former 1920s vault and a 24-hour fitness suite.
