Hotels near Sterling, MA

“We are just coming down from the high of our daughter and her newly-wedded wife’s wedding weekend hosted at the Chocksett Inn in Sterling, MA, and let me just say - WOW!

Our daughter and her fiancé got engaged in December of 2022. We started thinking about wedding venues soon thereafter. The girls had specific criteria for a venue: lodging, getting ready, outdoor ceremony and reception all onsite but not a hotel; not a barn setting; only hosting one wedding per day; and within 1 hour driving distance for most guests. We went onto Wedding Wire and the Knot and entered our criteria, and the Chocksett Inn popped up. Having lived in Central Mass for a period, we were surprised we had never heard of it. Made an appointment to visit in January of 2023, and we met with the sales/function coordinator, Tianna, for a tour. My daughter bursting into tears the second she walked into the foyer of the ballroom, and stating “It’s so beautiful,” was all I needed to see! Give me the contract to sign! We were sold right then and there! We never had to look at another venue – this was the easiest decision in the entire wedding planning process!

Fast forward almost two years to their wedding weekend, (and 2 wedding tastings, and multiple personal repeat tours) and I just can’t say enough accolades about the Chocksett Inn! Warm and welcoming front desk at check-in; clean, comfortable, large and updated guest rooms including 2 bridal suites to choose from along with a getting ready conference room and separate sitting room; delicious onsite restaurant for dinner and after party; GORGEOUS foyer for cocktail hour, and spacious ballroom for reception dinner and dancing (with amazing food!), and beautifully landscaped grounds and garden gazebo to host the ceremony and make the perfect backdrop for photos! And while every staff member we interacted with was amazing (shout out to Mick and Paula, two of our bartenders), Tianna knocked it out of the park. She truly is the Inn’s greatest asset – her communication, attention to detail, and day of service were nothing short of exceptional! Every detail was meticulously taken care of! Never once did we feel second to any other couple who also needed her undivided attention. We flooded her with questions right up until ceremony time, and she came through with answers/solutions/ideas each time! She assured us we didn’t need our own day of coordinator, and boy, did she deliver on that promise! We came to the Chocksett Inn as strangers and left with a new family! Chocksett will forever be one of our happy places! We are so sad it’s over!

“I went to visit a friend that is staying here for a few weeks while the water damage in her apartment gets cleaned up; so they rent weekly. It was upwards of a little under 5 big ones a week, but in a pinch ya gotta do what you gotta do.The room was a single large room with comfy king size bed in the middle. There were ample table space and the room was clean. Not white glove, but unless you do it yourself nowhere is. There is a Walmart icecream stand, gas station and restaurants all within walking distance. Oh and the plaza has a dollar tree, cheap movie theater, nail shop and across the street has restaurants, tech School ,shops as well. Also there is a security door to access the rooms although there is a door/balcony for personal use as well.”

“My first time at a Motel 6 and I was very impressed. Ladies at the desk were so sweet! Everything was clean. Easy to find location with lots of dining and shopping options. Maybe in need of a box spring for the mattresses or something to keep them from slipping around as you get in and out.”

“Although the first stay at this motel I don't know what happened that the guards called us and I don't even know why they saw us as strange. But the second stay here, I was here for 2 weeks, which I had no problem, they took good care of us and were very helpful with the family. What we liked was that the room had a refrigerator, stove, microwave and the essentials to survive when they are remodeling your apartment. .

Rooms: The rooms that I had are comfortable, they look old but clean but for the price you have what you need to carry it in peace

Walkability: Safe place to walk to different food stores and family dollar for personal use products

Food & drinks: Different restaurants”
