This was our second stay at the Publick House- It is a unique historic building. The rooms are spacious, the staff are friendly and helpful, and it is very quiet at night. We enjoy strolling around Chester, and the location is convenient when in the area visiting family.

Discouragement from booking.

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.

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.

Extrememly unprofessional frm both Expedia and this location. I travel for sales with a large team and we all will NEVER use Expedia again and we are nation wide. What a shame. Good luck Expedia.

Room was clean and comfortable but lacking basic amenities like soap, cell phone plug, TV worked but sound was terrible, AC was very noisy. Staff was pleasant and helpful when asked questions but you sort of had to push your way through the restaurant staffing area to get to room. And there was no room service - coffee, water, shampoo (used in lieu of soap) not replenished.

My New Hotel Favorite

With our club’s 36th Antiques in Long Valley, I had to find a close by hotel for an overnight stay. Very fortunate to learn that the Public House Hotel in Chester was the perfect location. My stay was wonderful, comfortable and just what I needed. I will return.

Nice property, poor check-in process

The check-in process was awkward. The only agent to check us in was too busy gossiping with bar flies and would not take the time to recognize us. When she finally ended her chatting she did not welcome us. Almost seemed like our business was a burden to her.
