Sturbridge Super 8 Motel

Good stopping off point on our way to and from Maine. Outside looks like it needs some serious attention but the room interiors have all been redone. With a modern grey wall, OSV murals, new beds with crisp white linens, a great sized fridge (largest we have ever seen in a motel) and redone bathrooms, the place is a good value. Breakfast was good with waffles, eggs, sausage, etc. On our return trip the room was also redone but the workmanship was a bit low as the ceiling fan was coming done, toilet paper holder coming out of the wall and the floors uneven. However, it was clean, convenient and affordable. Don’t let the exterior fool you.

The steps going up to the second floor look like this might be an old run-​down place but when you got in the room you were very surprised how beautiful it was. The rates were inflated for the Brimfield flea market but we expected that. We were a family of 4 and were very comfortable in the size of the room
I like the cleanliness and friendliness of the hotel and the breakfast was more than adequate and started at 4
the guests going to Brimfield flea market could get there early. Our room was spacious with two queen size beds and the décor was very nice and we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again!

What an experience we had at the super 8 this morning and let me tell you why. First off, I was enjoying my meal at breakfast and my dad had overheard a family go to the front desk asking to open a certain room. But, the rude lady behind the desk would not let them in. One of the family members clearly stated to the women at the desk that there could be a possible medical the lady behind the desk responded by saying «that’s not your room.» As soon as my dad heard that he yelled at the women but she wouldn’t budge until finally he screamed at her so much that she started scrambling looking for a key to open it. But, as you know there are maids with keys to every room but they wouldn’t open the door. Finally the police and ambulance arrived and busted the door open. There was an emergency medical in the room. We are praying for the family and the boy. But without my dad screaming at that lady behind the desk she wouldn’t have done anything and the medical could’ve been more severe I suggest that if u have a wedding of some sort and have to go to Sturbridge Super 8 motel don’t I highly suggest not. There are many other great hotels better than this one. No mother should see that on Mother’s Day.

Probably best roadside motel experience of my life. Avid traveler and road tripper and this was the nicest cheap motel I’ve ever stayed at. Room was very nice, modern, spacious and clean. Staff was very friendly. Much nicer than a typical motel. It even had a small gym (not huge but good enough treadmills and an elliptical plus free weight rack. Much nicer than I ever expected and definitely recommended!

Doesn’t look like much on the outside, but inside they’ve been renovated with wooden floors, wall art, new appliances, etc. I don’t normally expect much from motels as I’m usually there just to sleep and head out the next morning. This one was a pleasant surprise.

We were not expecting much from a Super 8, but we were pleasantly surprised when walking in our room! From the outside it looked dated, like nothing special. But when we walked in, we noticed The rooms have been renovated to a modern look with vaulted ceilings, wooden floors, huge wall art, brand new appliances, and a complete remodeling of the bathroom as well. The toilet seat even had a seal on it that said it had been sanitized! Everything was spotless, and clean, and we appreciated the little things like extra outlets, book lights by the bed, and the two different sizes of pillows. This gave it a more «luxe» feel. We had two queen beds and it did not feel crowded. I’d definitely stay there again.

Ended up coming here late at night after opting to leave a horrible motel down the road. We were pleasantly surprised and considered spending an extra night just because the rooms here are so nice. At about 80 $ a night they aren’t the cheapest in the area, but they are still fairly affordable.
Seriously, the rooms are gorgeous. I wan’t to decorate my home like one of them. We had a room with two queen beds and in addition to being wonderfully decorated, a working minifridge, microwave, and coffee maker were placed against the far wall alongside a small closet and the door to the bathroom. Indeed, the latter was spotless and had insane amounts of pressure when flushing the toilet. You could lose a hand.
My only complaint was the breakfast they provide. Apparently no one bothered to set out any milk that morning (despite having cereals and other items). When the front desk attendant was asked about the milk, they insisted it was there to the point of arguing.
If I have the misfortune of being in Sturbridge again, I will definitely make a reservation to stay here.

This is such a great little surprise of a motel to stay at. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, and I realize that for the (lowest in the area) price, you might not expect much, but I was more than pleasantly surprised with what I got for the money.
The room was newly renovated, small but very comfortable, with high vaulted ceilings (2^nd floor), mirrors that make it seem much larger and modern, with the juxtaposition of interesting wall art that reflects the history of the area and nice wooden floors. A very cool room.
Nice amenities like lots of outlets and lighting options (including bright LED book lights for both beds were unexpectedly cool touches. A fridge, microwave, iron and ironing board were nice additions to the flat screen, HD TV and the quiet, efficient and quick ventilation and heat. Great water pressure and quick hot water made things comfortable as well in the small, but we’ll appointed and clean bathroom. Nice variations of pillow sizes and comfortable beds made for a very relaxing nap between basketball games.
The continental breakfast is a great choice for free as well, with lots of options, including make your own waffles, toast, Thomas’ English Muffins, scrambled eggs, sausage, yogurt, two cereals, cinnamon rolls, and several beverage options. Very nice.
Add in the friendly and helpful staff and this a really great value for a very comfortable room. It’s a no brainer to stay here.

Although I have stayed in this motel in the past and found it pleasant, recently I had a bad experience due to their cancellation policy (which they did not tell me about before making my reservation). After I booked, a health problem in my family occurred and I was forced to call back the next day to cancel. They refused to cancel charge, saying that their policy is to keep one night’s payment if you cancel within FOURTEEN DAYS of the reservation! Who ever heard of a hotel that won’t let you cancel within 14 days? I did finally get the charge reversed but had to involve my credit card company and waste a lot of time. Be forewarned.

From the outside the hotel doesn’t look great. The rooms are fully remodeled and up to date. Excellent and friendly staff. Highly recommend
Thanks for a great stay for 10 days.

Best continental breakfast I have ever had. Scrambled eggs, sausage, choice cereals, and a make-​it-​yourself waffle was easy to wash down with a fresh pot of coffee. The room was toasty warm during the worst winter storm on record. Very affordable and it still offered a scenic view from my balcony. My only regret is that I didn’t get to enjoy the pool because it was covered with 27 inches of snow. All around excellent experience.

A fine place to stay on a road trip. This was a good experience all around. We arrived late at night, en route from Maine. Check-​in was easy. We got a 2^nd floor room, with a balcony overlooking the pool and the lake. The room had a very high ceiling and wooden floor. It looked nice inside. Beds were firm and comfortable. The AC kept us cool all night. There were 4 of us – 2 adults, 2 kids – and it didn’t feel crowded at all.
The only odd thing about the room was the floor sloped, like it was warped. The bureau, on which the TV sat, leaned forward as a result, and the TV looked like it could slide right off and onto the floor. My wife stressed about this, but my nonchalance proved to be the better option, because nothing bad happened.
The breakfast was pretty good for a motel. Scrambled eggs and sausage, plus the usual waffles/​oatmeal/​cereal/​toast/​yogurt staples. The hostess replenished everything immediately. I would certainly stay here again when passing through.

Was in town one night. I had reserved a king room at a very reasonable price. My wife was a little skeptical due to a bad experience we had at another Super 8. When we checked in I asked if they had any upgrades available, especially a whirlpool room. The clerk said they did, but I would need to pay the difference. I declined and she gave me my room assignment. When I got to my room I was surprised that not only did I get a whirlpool room, but it was a King bed Suite. The room was very clean and spacious. My only complaint was the deck/​walkway felt a little unstable.

The hotel is outdated and run down… peeling wall paper, heating unit leaves you either freezing cold or burning up. Only $ 60/​night, which was fine, except that the hotel isn’t up to Super 8 standards. Motel 6 would’ve probably been nicer. In the morning, though we were staying for two nights, we were called, asking about check-​out. Management was disorganized and not the most hospitable. Find another hotel.

I am surprised at the bad reviews I have seen on here. We stayed here one night on the way to New Hampshire because it allows dogs and was inexpensive. We called before we got there and were told they had a room available. I had had a bad experience with a Super 8 before so I was very skeptical about staying there but I looked at the room first.
When we got there the desk clerk (a young woman) was on the phone with a customer having problems with what sounded like a complicated reservation. The clerk was on the phone with her at least 20 minutes at least! I felt like she could have put her on hold for a minute since it was clear that there was nothing she could do to help and the client had to speak with a manager.
Our room was on the second floor and had a little balcony. The room was clean and the furniture was in decent shape. It smelled clean, which is really important to me. Our room had a view of the pool and the river which is nicer than the average motel. The rate was cheap and it included a continental breakfast and make your own waffles plus bakery whole wheat bread.
There was a dog show in town so there happened to be a lot of dog owners there. I did not hear any barks or noises in the rooms next to us. Guests tended to walk their dogs in the grassy area out front and sadly some dog owners are rude and don’t pick up but it was fairly well kept. We have had no telemarketing calls.
Perfectly decent stay for one or two nights.

Unbelievably rude manager… I asked for a crib for my son during my stay. The first one I was given was broken. The second one had urine stains on the mattress. Needless to say, I never used it. Forward one week, when I check out — I am handed a receipt by the manager that includes a charge of $ 10/​day for the crib. I tell him I was never told there was a cost. He says very curtly that it’s not his fault I don’t know their policy. I tell him I never even used the crib because it was so filthy, and he says that was also my choice.
I called Super 8 customer service to complain. I was told someone from that location would get back to me in two weeks or less. It’s been about two months now…
All that aside, the rooms look nothing like advertised on their website. They’re clean, but old and completely rundown. Plus, the walls are paper-​thin and I could hear when the TV was on in the next room.
Oh, and don’t be fooled by the offer of a «lakeside view» room — the lake is disgusting and littered with trash.
Would never stay at another Super 8 again.
