Though 24/7 room service isn’t available, the in-room microwave and mini-fridge make late-night snacks totally doable.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music or a bar, you’re just a quick ride from Worcester’s nightlife scene—think local bars, clubs, and lounges. If you’re in the mood for something low-key, Auburn has a few relaxed spots nearby to grab a drink before or after the show.
