Review for the hotel accommodations…read more When you visit Sturbridge, you know antiquity will be part of the theme. Olde buildings, historical relics, period clothing- all the stuff of retro-tourism. And when you stay at a place called the Public House, you know the theme will be continued ling after the time at the Sturbridge Villiage is spent. It's an after-hours continuation of your historical proclivities, and for many, a welcome extension. The main house smells like fireplace, has wonderful construction materials, lead windows, exposed beams- you are staying in an important place that echoes with hundreds of years of conversations and ales. However, book through hotels.com, and your 1750 time warp lands you oddly in 1980. No main inn to be found; rather, you pioneer your wagon to the remotest of the motel complex where nary 2 other weary travelers have been sequestered, and in this desolation you unlock your door to Nancy Reagan, the Bee Gees, and ET. 1980 greets you with mismatched antique-ish furnature, tiled bathtubs, and plug-in electronic clock radios. Curtains look like wallpaper from Williamsburg- replete with pioneer hunting scenes- and carpeting is an odd green color. See, subjecting yourself to a historical setting has backfired, and though antiquey, it isn't anything other than a mishmash of castaway artifacts, seeking a home in the farthest of corners of the Public House complex. And this is your dilemma...you wanted this, and this you have received. Women in their 49's in 1980 would have swooned into the arms of their lovers, to be surrounded by such immersion early Americana! To be concise, the furthest block of rooms is a woefully outdated historical remnant that refuses to modernize. To the credit or historical preservationalists, it is clean, perfectly functional, and has good water pressure and comfortable mattresses and pillows. The AC may be a little noisey- possibly in an attempt to drown out semi-trucks on the nearby highway, rolling over the rumble strips along the white line- but it blows cold, and the room doesn't have odors. It is like the frilled tuxedo with bellbottom paints in your grandfathers closet; still functional and clean, but slightly outdated. And this is the conundrum when staying in a historical hotel: you asked for it. We did have a good night at the Public House, and the delicious breakfast of baked goods in the Bakery the next morning was appreciated. Coffee cake and coffee were a good combination before taking ye olde family back on the road!

About 30 mins later the door to my room just rapidly opened and a man walked in. No knock, no nothing. It turned out to be the electrician tasked with fixing the light. Apart from him seeming to have a pissed off low-key passive aggressive attitude about having to do what is his job, just waltzing into someone's room without a knock is an absolute no go! He didn't even apologize or acknowledge that this is unacceptable behavior. Definitely lock your doors! Breakfast was complimentary but just ok.

Place is clean but rundown and smells. Although it's non smoking, they allow people to smoke tabaco and marijuana in the interior common areas. Smell proliferates everywhere. Julie behind the desk is rude, inappropriate, unprofessional, and racist. Although there were more than 6 dogs staying at the place (one barked non stop and another pooped in the hall), Julie decided it was my trained service dog with no proof. Most likely because I was the only non white person with a service dog. She went as far as telling me that my dog is a comfort dog and not a service animal. She refused to see the documents I offered as back up. She also crossed the line when she approached the event organizer of the event I was there for to ban me from future events. Extremely unprofessional and inappropriate. I wish this annual event would move elsewhere that is not as decade, decrepit, and had professional hospitality people.

The mattress seemed like it was at the end of its useful life; it seemed to sink in the middle and had insufficient support. Shower pressure was average. The toiletries that are included are smaller these days. The breakfast, however, was respectable. Plenty of eggs and sausage links to go with waffles and coffee/juice. Be advised that the property does allow pets...so if you have allergies or want a quieter stay, this property may not be for you. Try to get a room at the end of hallway - away from the ice machine and elevator; you'll get a better night sleep.

We ignored it as we hadn't ordered anything or expecting anyone and when we called the front desk to tell them the guy seemed really bothered.

We arrived late, very tired, but had to clean the place first to make it livable. You'll also read in reviews in various sites that the breakfast is surprisingly good for a budget motel. It's not. It's paltry and stale. Even the coffee sucks, watery and weak. The rooms look nice online due to a recent remodel. If you leave the lights off and squint your eyes, yeah it looks nice. We were also woken up by our upstairs neighbors several times, though they weren't being especially loud. Just walking in their room. Normal footsteps are not only audible but somehow amplified to the ground floor rooms. All this would be fine if it was $60, but it was over $300.
