This was our second stay at the Publick House- It is a unique historic building. The rooms are spacious, the staff are friendly and helpful, and it is very quiet at night. We enjoy strolling around Chester, and the location is convenient when in the area visiting family.

Great stay, easy check in and check out! Restaurant downstairs with a great bar. Old historic building with charm, room was quaint and clean and the staff very helpful. If you’re looking for a place brand new, you’re missing out on history and charm.

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.
