Turn right after crossing the river onto Memorial Drive.
Go about a mile along Memorial Drive.
Turn left at Hyatt (traffic light) onto Amesbury St.
Take I-93 to Exit 26.
When off-ramp goes back to being two lanes, get in left lane.
Immediately after underpass, take ramp in left lane.
At stop sign, turn right and go over bridge.
Just before the end of the bridge, turn right (this is a difficult turn).
Immediately turn right again and follow Memorial Drive along the river.
Go under Massachusetts Avenue.

It's about 1.5 miles from crossing the river to the hotel.
If you look at a map, from I-93 to the hotel, you're following Rt. 3.
... you need to follow the Truck Route directions. Following the above car directions in a truck will (at best) result in a ticket, or (at worst) result in your photo on the front page of the local paper with an article about how another out-of-town truck driver got stuck under an overpass.
