Room was lovely, staff was very friendly and extra helpful. Due to a booking error, our check out day was a day early. We didn’t find out about this until that day! The front desk staff was able to keep us in the same room for an extra night at the same rate, with no trouble. We enjoyed our stay and will be back again!

The staff was friendly and helpful. They let me know of options for food and beverage which was nice. But the lodge could use some updating. Room was mostly clean but found an old hair tie by a bed and it smelled musty. We were only staying one night and it was inexpensive.

We didn’t have a pet, and I stay away from pet friendly hotels if possible. I like the fact that entire buildings do not allow pets, and respect designated buildings that are pet friendly.

Room Temperature was unable to be regulated
Even with staff assistance
Bathroom sink was/is clogged when ck’d in
Garment hang bar totally insufficient
Parking in rear unacceptable for seniors who not handicapped but over 80+ years old.
Tv cable service and pink/blue remote something left over from the 70’s
Tissue quality in bathroom was less than a
Seedy Motel
Very disappointed that a “Quality” reputation
That the Public House held in the past has
Now fallen so far by greedy Corporations that are Only interested in the bottom line.

Very well kept grounds and common areas… cozy bar and delicious bakery options complimentary each morning with your coffee. Very reasonably priced… we will stay again.

Our stay at the Publick House was Amazing!
We stayed in Room 509, in the building to the Left of the Main Building. The room was super clean and the building was decorated beautifully for Christmas. We ate at the Main Restaurant and that was scrumptious!

We did have 1 issue with the thermostat in that it was very hot in the room And we couldn't get the thermostat lower than 69. We were told to put it on air conditioning and that it would go down from there but it still didn't decrease. I ended up shutting it off and it was fine all night. I'm sure that will get fixed before the next guest. :)

Beautiful place! We hope to be back!

The place was fairly clean, you can tell it is for people fishing or short stays. The rooms are huge! The rooms are nicely set up. You are right on a main highway, so it’s loud at night due to traffic. The rooms have been updated. Staff is not very outgoing or friendly but not rude. There are a lot of bugs and spiders but otherwise appeared clean. I would look for somewhere else next time as the cost was not worth the room.

I personally love the Publick house! This was my first staying in the motor coach area! Room was better than expected ! We took the king room ( complaint ( it’s directly next to maintance room ! The following morning Saturday about 7:00 am smashing of doors and stuff hitting the wall this went on all day! Wasn’t happy about that house keeping needs to keep in mind there are people sleeping ! Second issue was with front desk manager the girl with the glasses! She was snippy and quick to point out factors of using a third party booking site! That they wanted to charge me an extra 46.00 to my card to cover room service and other things if you spend it I get it back in about a week? Weird policy! I explained there wasn’t enough on my card to do so , I offered to hand her a 100.00 bill ( quickly exclaimed they don’t take cash) lol I said oh it didn’t state that when making reservation that’s when she said I used a third party site to book and they can’t control what you know or don’t know do to booking through site ! I said oh so we need to cancel our two day reservation? She said I’ll let it go this time for next time please beware ! Which I’m fine with ! Update your hotels info on these sites ! She has always been a serious and quick to snip back hostess they also had two weddings that weekend I’m assuming stress of all that didn’t help ! I will 100 percent Stay with them again I love it there

Very affordable overnight stay during Thanksgiving. We stayed in a pet friendly double room in the Motor Lodge which is different than the Inn. The building is set on a very pretty hillside a little away from the main Inn and restaurant. The room had a solid colonial American decor vibe that we all loved and it felt so comfortable - the chairs, beds and decor. The ceiling was pitched with beams that made the room feel very spacious, While it’s true this style of decor is now dated when compared to the new modern hotels, we enjoyed it. Even though it is used as a pet friendly room there were no leftover smells or spots from previous four legged visitors. Lots of clean towels and pleasant toiletries, along with a microwave oven/fridge, a balcony, table and chairs for eating at, along with two other comfy chairs, lots of bed pillows, a great wall heating unit (we needed because it got cold outside) - just lots of extras that made our stay more comfortable and that you don’t always get in motels at this affordable price. Highly recommend and would stay again.

Overall the property is very nice but even midweek it is extremely crowded and noisy due to what appears to be an overnight business meeting with about fifty employees involved as well as a good sized wedding, which was not expected on a Thursday evening.

Part of the property’s charm is that the building is very old, though rooms are still spacious, comfortable and spotless. Yet sound travels very easily in an old building and its hard to enjoy the experience when its so noisy.
