I found that I had barely any room to close the bathroom door (or open it) to get in and out of the shower without getting up against the toilet. The shower head was very old, the handle, the parts around it were broken, the shower curtain liner kept getting stuck onto me when I was taking a shower which is unhygenic. I think that the motel rooms need an upgrade. Overall the room was clean and the staff very helpful especially when I had an issue (created by myself). They were very kind about that.

It goes without saying that the property is exquisite. The accommodations are phenomenal. The rooms are quiet, clean and comfortable. However, the one aspect of our stay that stood out repeatedly was the interaction with the staff. Unfortunately we can only give a 1-star review. When we checked in - the front desk kept answering the phone while we were trying to check in. It was very off-putting. When he finally did attend to us, it felt like his mind was someplace else because he kept repeating himself and talking with the other staff member. When we checked out, the front desk attendee did not ask whether we enjoyed our stay, if there were any problems, what room we were in, etc. It was a very hurried and non-personal experience. A word to management: a quick re-training for front staff in customer service and interaction might be in order. Other than that - the property speaks for itself. This property might benefit from self-check-in service.

We love staying at the Publick House when we visit Sturbridge. It is a beautiful place for family events - weddings, reunions, showers, etc. They always have time to provide wonderful service to everyone, even when you are not there for an event. The rooms are comfortable and have all of the amenities. We enjoy meals at Ebenezer's restaurant.

Kudos to the Publick House and its staff. Great two night getaway. Lodging at Chamberlin House was perfect as was our meals at both the Tavern and Taproom. Spent an afternoon at the Yankee Candle Village in South Deerfield. Also, enjoyed the complimentary cofffee and goodies at the PH Bake Shop

We stayed at the Country Motor Lodge, part of the Publick House property, and had a great experience. The room was clean, spacious, and felt very private. It had a nostalgic, roadside charm that reminded me of a classic family road trip—slightly quirky, but in a good way. In the morning, they offered complimentary coffee, tea, and a baked good, which was an easy and appreciated touch. The location is also close to plenty of great little restaurants and breakfast spots in Sturbridge, making it a convenient and affordable stop—especially for families.

The wedding venue was lovely, and the bake shop is excellent! However, the bathroom was full of fire ants and when I mentioned this to the girl at check-out she didn't even say sorry. All she said was "did you tell someone?" and I said, "I just did." Also, I have stayed in many hotels, and this is the first one that didn't have a coffee pot in the room.

We liked the property once we figured out how to get to the rooms. I don’t believe the food in the dining room was up to standard. I had pot roast and it was very dry. More gravy didn’t help. My wife's fish was perfect. Service was ok. On site bakery was very good. The grounds and plantings are beautiful. I am handicapped but they put me on the second floor. Climbing stairs with luggage isn't fun for me.
