Hamilton Inn Sturbridge

Comfortable, Budget-Friendly Stay Just Outside the Action

Modern, no-frills, and just a short drive from Worcester’s DCU Center Arena & Convention Center, the Hamilton Inn Sturbridge is a smart, affordable choice for concert-goers looking to stay outside the hustle but still be close to the music. Located in the quaint town of Sturbridge, this 2-star hotel offers clean, air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs, free WiFi, and private bathrooms—ideal for winding down after a night of live music.

Why Concert-goers love it

Fans heading to shows at the DCU Center love this hotel for its easy-drive location—just 22 miles from the venue. While it's not in the heart of a nightlife district, its setting offers a quiet retreat post-show. Plus, with a 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, there’s a bit of flexibility for those rolling in late and sleeping in. The 24-hour front desk is also a big plus for night owls returning from a gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly base outside the city
• Solo travelers catching a big-name artist and wanting peace and quiet
• Couples making a weekend music getaway with a side of small-town charm
• Fans needing a low-key, restful spot post-concert
• Budget-conscious music lovers who prefer to spend on tickets, not lodging

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, there are local eateries within walking or short driving distance. Guests can grab breakfast nearby after a late night out, and several restaurants in the area stay open late for post-show bites. There’s no room service, but the staff is happy to recommend nearby options.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find live music or a bar on-site, but you’re not far from Sturbridge’s local taverns and pubs, offering a quiet drink or casual atmosphere. For more action, pre- or post-show drinks are best found closer to Worcester’s venue area.

What People Say

Guests highlight the cleanliness of the rooms, friendly service, and great value for the price. Many note that it's a great place to crash after a long night, thanks to the comfortable beds and quiet surroundings. The staff’s willingness to help, even at odd hours, gets frequent praise.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel is a bit basic in terms of amenities—no gym, no breakfast buffet, and no bar—but it more than makes up for it with its low rates and solid service. If you're expecting luxury or walkable nightlife, this might not be your vibe, but for a sleep-and-go concert trip, it's solid.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a clean, quiet, and affordable home base within driving distance of major concert venues, the Hamilton Inn Sturbridge delivers exactly what you need—no frills, no fuss, just rest.
