We stayed at 13 different hotels over 14 nights. Several of them were good, some of them were quite good. None of the 12 that were not Publick House compared to Publick House. That's not idle talk. Public House was just as charming as could be. I love old architecture. Main building was built in 1750. Our breakfast, from the "bake shop," sets the bar for delicious pastries. Really. And the staff were super. They smiled, not out of required obligation, so far as one could tell, but because they had genuine charm and graciousness. I was particularly charmed by Chrissy, out waitress at the best restaurant we went to over our 15-day trip. She was in my age group (not young), and was, frankly, as sweet as could be. Not too much, just right. Everything abut Publick House was just right.
