Best Hotels in Barre

Initially we contacted the sales department for a welcome party at the restaurant for 15 people, a few of whom had hotel reservations for a couple nights stay (including us), as they were coming in from out of state. My wife and I explained that this was a separate party from a rehearsal and we wanted to just order appetizers for everyone and pay for a couple of rounds of drinks. As the group size grew to 23, we were then told (the week before) that we could no longer just order drinks and appetizers and would need to order a complete dinner off their special dinner menu. They claimed it wasn’t worth their kitchen’s effort to serve us just appetizers and drinks. We explained that we were expecting to pay around $600-$800, as our group likes to drink and eat and that several couples would probably stay for dinner after. It didn’t matter, the sales department just said we couldn’t have our party at the hotel restaurant unless everyone ordered dinner. We ended up having a party at the local Gardner Ale house which turned out really great! We spent over $900. Later, my wife and I returned to the hotel and went to the restaurant, just to see how busy it was. At about 8pm and they may have had just 50 people in the restaurant on a Saturday night. Seems to be a poor management decision as a couple of our guests ended up canceling their reservations after hearing about the last minute change from the hotel. In addition, we did stay at the hotel. Our room was physically dirty (needed a good vacuuming) and there was someone smoking in the room across the hall, (we could smell it in the hall and in our bathroom). This was the first night we were there. After mentioning this to staff they came down and agreed they could smell it, but just ended up spraying air freshener. They said they weren’t sure which room it was coming from. The smoking continued until the next day.

Outdated and overpriced. No amenities to speak of, no microwave in your room, no housekeeping unless you request it, no access to the pool unless you go to the front desk to ask for permission and they have to let you in, no continental breakfast, BUT they do give you a cookie upon check-in. By far one of the worst hotel experiences I've encountered. Hotel was booked with multiple youth organizations that were totally out of control, running, screaming, kicking walls, f-bombs, scratching their names into the metal doors of the elevator, etc. when I called the front desk to complain they told me it was happening all over the hotel and there wasn't much they could do. Guests no associated with these organizations had no use of the pool since there were no less than 25 kids in the pool on both nights we were there. When I complained to the general manager the next day, the front desk responded that they would discount my room by half and that if I wanted to leave it would be okay. Since there are no other hotels in the immediate area and I was there for family medical reasons I had no choice but to stay. Disappointed that the general manager didn't have the courtesy of responding to us and that they allowed this to continue for two nights.

Large and grand, this hotel is a gem in Southbridge. It's beautiful, comfortable, and the service is very welcoming. I've been staying there for work couple days per week for over two years and it's my home away from home. With the restaurant now open 7 days per week again, it's got everything I need (including pool, gym). BEST VALUE IN THE AREA.

Great service. Cleanliness in lobby and hallways are great. In the suit however, I had to change the sheets myself because of stains and hair. Also had to wipe the walls in shower due to brown smudges. Otherwnice place to stay

I would give this hotel a 5 star rating based on Carmen's welcome and service at the front desk alone. We booked a king suite, last minute booking and hotel was quite full. Room had all the appearances of a post covid hotel room. Armoire, not a closet; wall mounted toiletries (dove shampoo, conditioner and body wash), no hand soap, no lotion or kleenex. In fairness. I didn't ask the desk although they do offer this option.Excellent wifi, iron, ironing board, microwave and fridge in our room. Small exercise room open but not ”spa” area. Breakfast starts at 7 and behind closed doors so dont go early. Usual offerings but fresh and plentiful. Coffee station outside which you can access before 7. When ou exit the hotel, walk down the ”hill” turn right and walk on the sidewalk under the overpass you'll find Bentley's Pub. Nice walking distance (5 minutes) , great service and generous, wholesome food.

I had to postpone my review to put aside the emotions of the weekend. After arriving at the hotel late in the evening following my husbands brothers funeral and service. Finding no parking, we were told by reception to use a handicap spot. We had stayed at this Courtyard years ago and chose it knowing it had been newly renovated. The hotel lobby was inviting and modern decor filled the lobby. We checked in and went to our 4th floor room. Ready to go to sleep as soon as we could, we found there was no soap to get washed up. Then pulled back the covers to find that our bed was missing sheets. 3 -4 calls later, after the wrong size sheets were delivered twice, we finally got soap and the correct sheets. We had to make our own bed at 11:30pm. Then found a tick in the sheets. The next morning we made coffee… well, 1 cup. The coffee pot stopped working after the first cup was made. It seemed to have over heated. I skipped the shower after my husband reported finding hair wrapped around the shampoo dispenser. This hotel needs some quality control.
