This was the best spent $100, and I'd stay here any day over a chain hotel or motel. The Publick House has so much charm and character, the staff are super friendly, and the room was comfortable and cozy. It is easy to imagine what staying at an inn in the 1700s could feel like when you walk into the lobby. There's a fire going in the tavern downstairs, lots of inviting couches and chairs, and a bakery downstairs too with coffee and muffins. If you're going through the Sturbridge area and need a place to stay, I can't recommend this place more.
