Our family has gone to the Public House for over 30 years. This time, the lights in our room went off in the middle of the night. When I discussed this with the front desk agent when checking out, the response was lackluster. I had hoped for something more than "we will have the maintenance people look at it." I have never had anything but positive experience there in the past; this time the experience makes me never want to return.

This was definitely more motel than hotel. We stayed here because we were down for the Brimfield market so it was busy, probably booked out because of the market. The front facing hotel looked nice and we were optimistic but as we drove further into the property to the rooms, we got a little less excited about what our room would look like. We pulled up as someone was smoking right outside our room. Naturally some of that smoke wafted into our room which only added to the smell of smoke that was already there. The place did not smell good! We couldn't shower because the shower head looked like something you'd pick out of a dumpster. Covered in mold. The room looked like something straight out of the 70's with old, stained carpet, stains on the chairs in the room and a smell that would not leave. We couldn't get out of there fast enough. For $200, it was absolutely not worth it and we will not be returning. We will stay further out next time just to get a nicer room. Would not recommend! Look for something else and use this place as a last resort.

It’s a very nice little place, very comfortable and clean. Easy access to old Sturbridge Village and the Brimfield antique markets. I’ve been going there three years now and I always stay at the public house.

I can't speak for the premium rooms in the other buildings, however the room we stayed in was probably built in the 1970s and really hasn't been modified much since. Tiny TV, uncomfortable bedding, plugs fell out of the outlets, overall run-down facility.

The price was good. The building we stayed in, the stairs and walkway were in poor condition. The roof needs repair work. The room was dark. The bed was very comfortable. The coffee and muffins for breakfast were excellent.
