Staff are often described as friendly and helpful. However, reviews repeatedly cite limited or absent staffing after hours, reservation and check-in problems, and inconsistent housekeeping, towels, and toiletries. Rooms can feel dated for some, with recurring TV and hot water quirks and blinds that don’t block light. Expect character-forward accommodations with variable operations and service.

This historic building from the early 1800's is loaded with charm. They have history all over the walls. The layout is quaint, with various sitting areas throughout. The room was beautiful and clean. There was a living room and separate bedroom. The bed was very comfortable. They provided a coffeemaker and a small fridge. It was easy to walk to the shops. There is a steakhouse attached. Overall, staying here was a pleasant experience.

Reading the other reviews on this property, one may shy away from it. Those reviews could not be further from truth, then what we experienced at the Publick House. This hotel is quaint and has old world charm. Our room was oversized with a separate sitting area with a pullout sofa. All the rooms including the bathroom were clean and well appointed. The staff is quite friendly and very accommodating. Very nice terrace/balcony for guests to sit outside. Although there is no breakfast service, there are Keurig’s in every room that are replenished each day. The staff will also direct you to The French pastry shop or Sally Lund’s, which are both within walking distance. We did not have a chance to eat at PH restaurant, but the menu looked diverse and interesting. Still can’t understand all the bad reviews.

Property and Main Street area were cute. Easy parking and enjoyed dinner at the restaurant. But overall didn’t meet expectations for what we paid. Room was huge but weren’t even given hand soap for sink or 2 full towel sets. Asked for both but never got them. Rooms were pretty bare bones but basic suite was huge.

Parking was easy and location easy to find. I was given the codes to get into the hotel since no one works there on Mondays. The exterior door lock was broken and was just open. Then when I found my room, it had not been cleaned. Old towels in the bathroom & hanging on the back of the door, trash still there from the last guest. I had to search the other rooms for unused towels, shampoo and soap. Unsure if the sheets were changed so slept on the couch for my 3 day stay.

Front desk is rarely staffed. Signage is suggested to help guests find their way. Room prep was lacking. We only had one towel, no shampoo, and dirty glasses. The TV was difficult to turn on. The location of the hotel is great and the size of the rooms is fantastic. We also thought there was attention to cleanliness. But the biggest issue was attention to detail on the guest experience.

Pictures speak a thousand words. Unfortunately, stench is difficult to convey. The bedding had a strong perspiration odor. Be advised, no one on premises for assistance and the area is a dark. Very poor lighting to operate entry key. I deem this area unsafe for women. The building may be considered historical, the exterior and restaurant deceive the consumer because they are well maintained. The rooms are appalling. This is very unfortunate and I hope the necessary changes will be addressed. For those looking to stay in an aesthetically pleasing environment the decor is ghastly and senseless. I have over 50 pictures which the system does not allow more than eight.

We really enjoyed the uniqueness of the property and it was clean. Notes: 1 - you have a great restaurant and bar, it would be good to have information about these in the room. 2 - there were no instructions for the tv and we were not able to change the channel, 3 - if the shower takes 15 minutes to provide hot water it would be good to have a note stating that in the room, 1 of us had a tepid shower not knowing it would eventually get hot. 4-it's always nice to have glassware in a room.

Wonderful windows with light coming in. I totally recommend this place. Staff is great, restaurant and bar downstairs was great, with good food, friendly bartenders. Best hotel room I have stayed in. Only suggestion would e to get better towels but what I had was sufficient.

My wife and I lived in a neighboring town for 22 years and were quite familiar with the Publick House and its history. It was a bar and restaurant for most of our time there but the hotel was never open. When we needed to stay in town for a short visit we were surprised to see the hotel was open and we were eager to check it out. We were very surprised by the very spacious and comfortable accommodations. The couch in the living room and bed were very comfortable. The new owners did an excellent job with this hotel.

Property overbooked rooms to over twice capacity and would not answer phone all day. Had to call emergency phone number posted on outside of property at midnight to be told that I did not actually have a room. Hotels.com said property failed to notify them/turn off taking reservations resulting in this fiasco for many like myself.

This is a beautiful property in a very cute town. They stay was nice. They are short staffed so there was no breakfast. It would be good to have a list of local places to eat and things to do. The place has a lot of potential. Very unique rooms with a lot of character. Cleaning staff was very nice.

This is an awesome hotel!! The room was absolutely wonderful...huge, beautiful, very comfy, a huge sitting room I did not expect. 2 TV's! I never heard a sound in that room. Wonderful windows with light coming in. I totally recommend this place. Staff is great, restaurant and bar downstairs was great, with good food, friendly bartenders. Best hotel room I have stayed in. Only suggestion would e to get better towels but what I had was sufficient.

The location and staff were wonderful. The convenience of having a wonderful restaurant and bar downstairs was great. It was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. I would highly recommend it.

Building was charming, our guest room was huge. Towels were old and thin and worn. Staff was friendly but food at dinner was very mediocre.

Arrived at hotel around 9:30 p.m, no one at front desk or anywhere around. Tried to call phone number listed on front door, mail box full. Finally got a wait staff from restaurant to help me get into a room. Leaving at 10:00 an next morning, no one around again. Carpet needed vacuuming in room and their were dirty towels hanging on door. Creaking floors above me. Bed was comfy but no mattress pad underneath.

This was a very charming and beautiful historic hotel. The suites are very large and had plenty of space for our family of four. There are some nice shops within walking distance in Chester. We enjoyed our stay.

It is a very old establishment, clean and the employees were great. Don't expect all the amenities you would find in a Hilton or Marriott. It was lovely and the town of Chester is beautiful. Great diner for breakfast was in walking distance.

The place was historic, there for it was old ... not the amenities that you would have in a newer hotel. The rooms are old as they would be in a 1800 year old place , but not really maintained that well. The best part is the bar and restaurant that was fantastic... I would stay there just for that , and the town of Chester is quant and worth going to.
