A hotel with character.
It was a suite with style. I would suggest upgrading your towels and providing some more hand and wash clothes. The mattresses were a bit lumpy. Still, it was an interesting place to stay.

Lovely historic inn in beautiful small town
This is a historic inn. It has a nice restaurant on the lower level. We were not there long, but I had a good impression.

My New Hotel Favorite
With our club’s 36th Antiques in Long Valley, I had to find a close by hotel for an overnight stay. Very fortunate to learn that the Public House Hotel in Chester was the perfect location. My stay was wonderful, comfortable and just what I needed. I will return.

Property and Main Street area were cute. Easy parking and enjoyed dinner at the restaurant. But overall didn’t meet expectations for what we paid. Room was huge but weren’t even given hand soap for sink or 2 full towel sets. Asked for both but never got them. Rooms were pretty bare bones but basic suite was huge.

Cheap towels, window treatments that don’t block the light, noisy fans, hooks without pictures on the walls…. What is going on here?

Room was clean and comfortable but lacking basic amenities like soap, cell phone plug, TV worked but sound was terrible, AC was very noisy. Staff was pleasant and helpful when asked questions but you sort of had to push your way through the restaurant staffing area to get to room. And there was no room service - coffee, water, shampoo (used in lieu of soap) not replenished.

Great stay
The location and staff were wonderful. The convenience of having a wonderful restaurant and bar downstairs was great. It was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. I would highly recommend it.
