Description: This property opened in 2002 after extensive renovations to the turn-of-the-20th-century former American Optical Factory mill building. This well-equipped business hotel has more than 200 rooms that are generic, but generously sized and well maintained. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the hotel’s amenities, which include a huge fitness center with an indoor pool, sauna, and Jacuzzi. The hotel is in a less-than-scenic neighborhood, but Old Sturbridge Village and the Brimfield Antiques Show are both just a short drive away.
