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.

It is a historic property. It has beautiful grounds and really authentic buildings. However the rooms where I was staying did not have and he made service unless you requested it and the shower was extremely hard to regulate. Most uncomfortable was the fact that ice was not readily available. One had to walk quite a ways to get to it.

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.
