Publick House Historic Inn and Country Motor Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful.
Beautiful property. Wonderful bakery. Very comfortable and convenient in our travels. Have stayed here several times. "
"This hotel has everything adults and kids could want—I was very impressed with everything during our stay, and my kids absolutely loved it. The only thing missing, which I hope they add one day, is a jacuzzi. Otherwise, I was thoroughly impressed. They even welcomed us with access to the snack room, which made my kids very happy. Honestly, the hotel had everything the kids wanted—there’s really nothing more to ask for besides the jacuzzi.

"Property is really nice and rooms were really clean . Staff was amazing and love the fact that there is a bar/ restaurant down stairs if your in the mood for a drink and a bite "
