"Space provided a Historical connection."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
Beautiful surroundings. Loved the history related to this building in the stairs and sloping floors. They could benefit for adding a breakfast meal. The Bake Shoppe was wonderful but had no orange juice available except the kind in a bottle. We found wonderful places for breakfast, lunch and dinner in the community.

"Glorified Motel"
Overall Score2.0/ 5
The main houses are nice and offer a historical charm. The country lodges are terrible and basically motels on top of a hill. Would not stay again.

"Rosebud Motel??!"
Overall Score3.0/ 5
This is a large property. I was there for a wedding. My room was the furthest away from everything … in a building desperately in need of updating … the black and white toile wallpaper and matching drapes is just so dark and heavy. The room smelled very moldy. The bathroom fixtures are stained from age. Shower curtain was the thick white plastic which really wasn't clean. I will say the mattress and pillows were comfortable. I would insist on being located close to main building where the rooms are redone.

"Motel buildings below par."
Overall Score2.0/ 5
The rooms were ready when we arrived, the A/C worked, but the room was old and not clean, the sheets were worn and soft, there were only two small bath towels in the room, no bath mat, the walls are very thin and a barking dog in the next room woke me up. Pine needles all over the outside stairs should have been swept up. The pool was nice. Maybe the main building is nicer but I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

"Rooms need Updating!"
Overall Score2.0/ 5
Got to the hotel and we were going to the upper level. When we drove up it was very dated and run down looking. Almost like it was neglected and there were no other rooms available so they stuck us up there. The outlets were falling out of the wall and if we tried to plug something in the plug would fall out. There was a burn mark in the floor from the iron. The toilet was wobbly and the bathroom was dated with yellowing caulking in the tub. Water pressure was poor and the shower head just sprayed lightly with no hot water. The room was incredibly dated and felt like I was in the 1970's. It would be a nice space if it was updated and safe.

"Quaint But Loud."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
Arrived for a wedding (a little bit of a wedding factory, but that's okay) and was very impressed with charm of the Publick House. Came to the room and it was nice comfortable bed, nice sitting area, two bathrooms. Attended a great wedding until 10:00 pm, then returned to our room around 10:30 pm. This was when we attended our second, uninvited wedding reception. The music was so loud through the paper thin walls from the adjourning function room that we couldn't hear the TV in our room. I called the front desk shortly before midnight to ask when it might end. I called a second time shortly after midnight (above the melodious Isley Brothers "Shout"), to be informed it should be ending soon. Quaint, but bring your earplugs.
