The Colonial Hotel in Gardner MA is the host hotel for the 2023 Youth New Englands.  The Colonial is a charming hotel in a bucolic setting that offers 112 guest rooms, an indoor pool with a hot tub, a fitness center, and the Colonial Grille — a full-service restaurant and pub.
 
On Friday March 17th and Saturday March 18th, the Colonial Grille will host an NCAA Wrestling Watch Party. YNEW guests will be able to gather in the Grille and watch the semifinals (Friday night) and finals (Saturday night) of the NCAA D1 Wrestling Championships while enjoying a large variety of food and drink in the Grille.
 
Guest rooms at the Colonial are available for $159+/night on Friday (3/17) and Saturday (3/18) nights.  Call 978-630-2500 for room reservations.  Mention the Youth New Englands at Game On to get our discounted room rate.
 
Other recommended hotel options are the Leominster Doubletree (Youth New England Wrestling Championships) or the Devens Springhill Suites (Book your group rate for 2023 Youth New Englands). Friday and Saturday night room rates are $159+/night.
 
The Devens Springhill Suites has plenty of nice rooms in a quiet neighborhood, as well as a common area where you can bring your own food and watch the NCAAs. The Leominster Doubletree is a nice property that is fairly close to the Game On facility, though there are a limited number of rooms available at this hotel during YNEW 2023 weekend.
