Stayed many times. Remember if you stay in the motor lodge, it is a MOTOR LODGE. It is clean, comfortable, and convenient. It is not a 5 star hotel. We love the place, the value for the dollar is great!

It’s such a unique property and hard to “rate”. The room was extremely dated, but spacious and comfortable for the most part. The property is sprawling and locating our building took a while. There was a wedding there the night we stayed and it really took over…everything. Made for a later and noisier night than hoped. The tavern was historic and interesting, but again, noisy and crowded. I would try it again on a weeknight, but it’s not high on amenities.

The room was spacious, clean and comfortable., but a little tired. We ate in the restaurant whose food was good but it was so cold I had to go to my room and get a jacket. Won’t go back without dressing for winter.

Charming Inn at Sturbridge

Chrissy was so nice as our server! I left my bag behind and they held on to it. No money was missing and they asked a few questions to be sure the right person got it. That says a lot right there. The bakery help was genuinely caring and helpful. Try the pecan sticky buns! You ll thank me! The pool was so clean. It's salt water according to my husband. It was very empty too. This is very close to Old Sturbridge Village.
Beautiful couple enjoying their wedding at The Public House Inn.

We loved our stay! We were traveling from Michigan to Maine and only had the opportunity to stay one night, but we had a wonderful meal at the tavern on site. The bakery options were loved by my children, and we all enjoyed walking the grounds. Would definitely return!

A good stay with some limitations

The suite was nice and large, although in a separate building from check-in. The hotel was quiet and the windows kept the traffic noise away. Food at the tavern was so-so. There was a large wedding party in the main dining room. Free breakfast was nice although a bit of an outdoor walk to the bakery. Fortunately the weather was lovely. A rainy day would probably have caused us to skip it.
