The hotel was cute and quaint. A village like feeling. The parking for registration was a little confusing since there are only handicapped parking by the hotel lobby door.

The historic part of the hotel is as you would expect small. I recommend staying in the newer buildings. We stayed in the infamous Room 40 of the historic section. It’s definitely a bit creepy and is allegedly haunted. It features a huge antique King size sleigh bed. Great for couples. We didn’t see any ghosts, but the desk got complaints that we were moving furniture around and the TV was loud. Neither of which was true.

Wonderful historic inn in Sturbridge

We love to stay at Publick House when we visit Old Sturbridge visit. It is a wonderful hotel that offers all the modern conveniences while maintaining its historic charm. The restaurants and bakery consistently serve amazing food by an excellent, caring staff.

This is a wonderful historic Inn. We stayed in the original building which is part of the larger complex. When you check in you step back in time. The staff are wonderful, the restaurants are busy, but well worth the visit. Not too expensive either! Glad we stayed for the two nights.

Great historic hotel with pleasant staff.

Overall another great stay with only one hiccup at start. We arrived at 320p to check in only to be told that our room was not yet ready. They did have one other similar room available but that would have put us in the midst of a wedding party for the following evening. We opted to stay in the room we were assigned. We were finally able to check in until close to 5:00 p.m. which threw off our plans but the two women at the front desk were extremely pleasant and courteous and very helpful through the situation. Overall it was a nice stay. The rooms are in great shape for being a historic building. They do need to upgrade the shower heads. Overall I would recommend staying here especially if you'd like a touch of the historic.
