(no transfers necessary). Take the Commuter Rail’s Lowell Line to the end where you will
arrive at the Gallagher Terminal in Lowell.

the hotel you can either take a taxi or you can call the DoubleTree and ask that they send
their Shuttle Bus to pick you up. If you choose the latter option, you are encouraged to
make this request in advance. Simply call the hotel (978-452-1200), tell them when you
will
arrive
at the terminal and they will have the Shuttle waiting for you when you
arrive.
