Econo Lodge

Guy didn’t check me in under my reservation I used points found out the next morning after I left that he charged my card and they didn’t have any breakfast out for guests in the morning. Owner was rude as well

Traveling with a dog, your overnight stay options are pretty limited in Sturbridge. And this was a lot nicer than we thought it was going to be from looking at the photos! Checking in was fast and friendly. Our king size no smoking room was in the back, so it was quiet.
The location of this Econo Lodge is definitely the selling point. Right next door to the legendary BT’s Smokehouse (bbq), Sturbridge Pizza, and a convenience store. Walking distance to other town attractions. If you are with a dog, there just happens to be a baseball field behind the motel for walks. I will definitely stay here again.

I was born and raised in Southbridge and this hotel has been there for my entire life. Obviously I have never had a reason to stay there until I moved away and was travelling back home for a visit. I booked with them since they advertise they are a pet friendly hotel and their rates are reasonable. When I travel I don’t look for pampering, just a safe, clean and secure place to lay my head at night.
The hotel is built in a motor lodge style. the rooms face out and are accessible from the parking lot either at ground level or from a balcony. Inside the room it is obvious that the building is an older design, as the commode and shower/​tub are in their own room and the sink is outside, part of the main room. I booked a single king size bed and there was a small couch. The room has a USB charging station built into one of the nightstands, which was a nice touch. A small one cup coffee maker, microwave, large dorm fridge, and a hair dryer are part of the equipment with the room. The television is a newer LCD flat screen with basic cable access. Of course there was a full complement of lights, phone, and an alarm clock. Wifi is free with the room. The speed was acceptable given that my room was at the back of the complex, but I wouldn’t expect to stream Netflix or HBO to Go without some stutter and buffering.
The room was acceptably clean, there were plenty of clean towels and linens. The king sized bed was clean, comfortable and had 4 really soft pillows. The in room coffee was acceptable, tasty even given that you had to use powdered creamer. But it supplied the needed jolt of caffeine first thing in the morning. The complimentary continental breakfast had locally sourced fresh bagels and prepackaged muffins, OJ, apple juice, and both leaded and unleaded coffee in vacuum decanters.
The upcharge for pets was $ 20 per pet. I travel with 2 dogs, so not a problem, although they do ask to not leave your pets unattended in the room and that they not be a nuisance to the other guests. Check in at 4pm and out by 11am. The hotel is on route 20 and there is easy access to route 84 and the Mass pike. I will definitely use them again if I need accommodations in the southern Worcester county area.
