When we first got a room The outside table to our room had cigarettes and beer bottles on it and it reeked of smoke, the staff were very nice and changed us to another room. No mini fridge the hot tub she said was no longer in use because it broke and they never fixed it and neither was the bar downstairs open anymore , the outside looks so run down. It’s such a same because at one point the host hotel was beautiful these new owners have really let the place rot. We did use the pool and that was nice.

We were extremely disappointed in the Sturbridge host, the room they put us in was pool side and was very damp and reaked of chlorine. I was given a hard time not once but three times for my service dog. The room had mold on the ceiling, and there were bugs in my dogs food when we got up in the morning. The toilet didn’t work correctly, it had no pressure to flush properly, and the shower had very poor water pressure as well. Overall, I would have to say we will not be staying here ever again. If you are going to visit Sturbridge, I would suggest staying at the comfort inn.

The staff was top notch... so friendly and kind and helpful!! The place is super run down, they are doing some exterior work and lobby work but the room I stayed in which I paid $175 through Expedia was only $140 through the hotel, but the calling paint and texture is peeling, there was mold on the ceilings in the bathroom, the elevator had puke blood or something on the dark chocolate carpet walls, the place has potential but needs a ton of money for renovations... there's so much more but I'm gonna stop here!!

This property feels like one of the last standing resorts from its glory days. While it could definitely use some extra upkeep, it wasn’t a bad place to stay at all. The charm and unique location made it feel more like an experience than just a stay. Staff was limited, especially with dining hours, but there were plenty of great food options nearby to make up for it.

There was a wild music conference, but we were put in a part of the hotel that was quiet. We felt nervous when we arrived. The room smelled musty, but appeared clean. The couch was very old and needed replacement. Staff was accomodating.

Tub drain backed-up, no shower liner, coffee station's sugar and creamer were ancient (creamer was solid, sugar was all stuck together). Bottom drawer of the dresser was broken. On the good side, nice sized room, clean, very comfortable bed. Bathroom and room cleaniness was good!

Place needs to be updated. Room was big and dreary. A/C ran all night and the water spout for the tub was pulled away from the wall an inch. Lots of carpet everywhere. Beautiful grounds and conveniently located for the area though. For the price I'll most likely not return if other Hotels are available.

The hotel was really rustic, lake was beautiful for fishing and a little picnic. It’s nice for a little getaway, the location was awesome, it had a ton of good places to eat close by. I am giving 5 stars because of how nice staff were to us, would definitely come back. Don’t believe all the bad reviews, this place is indeed a little older than hotels but it has a nice charm to it.

This hotel is unique but a lot of untapped potential. It’s currently quite rundown. The room itself was clean and dusted, but the shower and toilet could have used more attention. There was no fridge or microwave in the room, but you can request them. The pool view area gives off a tropical vibe with its plants, gazebos, and little bridges. It feels like you’re outside but it also is neglected and empty. With regular maintenance and some updates to the rooms, this place could become a fantastic destination for all kinds of groups. The staff was very friendly! I imagine it was awesome when it first opened.
