Fodor's Expert Review Sturbridge Host

Across the street from Old Sturbridge Village and beside a pleasant lake that some room balconies overlook, this hotel has luxuriously appointed bedrooms in Colonial style, reproduction furnishings, and updated baths with granite tops. Many rooms have balconies or patios overlooking the lakefront or gardens, or that open onto the indoor village-mall-feeling courtyard. The lobby, with a large fieldstone fireplace, is a pleasant gathering spot if you don't mind its proximity to the pool.
