As we write, on Thursday, February 16, the Sturbridge Host Hotel is all but sold out for the 2012 convention! The manager indicates that only one or two rooms remain available, and only for one or two nights.
Wow! We knew that this convention, situated in New England for the first time in CORSA’s history, would be a big draw, but we never anticipated filling the hotel five months before the convention is to begin.
But does this mean that if you do not yet have a room reservation, you are out of luck? No! There are plenty of alternate hotels nearby, several of which are listed below. Call now to book your accommodations in the hotel of your choice.
You are always welcome to contact the Sturbridge Host Hotel to check for availability due to cancellations or whatever reason.
Note, the alternate hotels listed below are not offering the same group rate as the Sturbridge Host Hotel, so rates may vary. Some offer special online rates, and if calling, don’t forget to mention any discounts for which you may be eligible such as AAA, AARP, Military and the like.
The following hotels are listed in increasing order of their distance from the Sturbridge Host Hotel. The convention committee has not inspected these properties and so is not making any specific recommendations.
