Pros:

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.

A hotel with character.
Pros:

It was a suite with style. I would suggest upgrading your towels and providing some more hand and wash clothes. The mattresses were a bit lumpy. Still, it was an interesting place to stay.

Pros:

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.

Pros:

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.

Pros:

The Publick House is fine for a one-night stay however would not recommend it if staying long. The room, while clean, has a very old feel and the furniture accents that making the room dark and a little depressing.

Pros:

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.

Pros:

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.
Pros:

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.

Pros:

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.

Pros:

HORRIFIC!
Smells like wet dog - I am allergic to dogs
Expedia told me:
No pets
Restaurant ON SITE

None is true

No Restaurant - the place is a complete dump

2x2 tile shower
Horrible bedding
Smells so badly

I had to leave in 10 minutes

Expedia did NOTHING to rectify this

The manager said "I guess you are stuck here"

Disgusting customer service.

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.

Pros:

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.
