I normally don’t write reviews, but I feel compelled to write one for this hotel. I normally stay at the SoHo Grand, but heard The Public was good and decided to give it a try. What a disappointment it was. There was no warmth in the hotel room. Felt like a dormitory really. The sink was not in the bathroom and the bathroom was not private. To top it off, there was a false fire alarm on our second night. It’s hard enough for me to fall asleep, and to be woken up by one wwent off and staff member kept repeating over the loudspeaker that’s it was a false alarm. For the high price they charge per night, I was shocked at how uncomfortable the whole experience was.

Hotel is beautiful and room design is a vibe. The location is prime across from the subway. Great shopping and dining options within 1 mile proximity of hotel. Check in staff is mid, mostly self service and early check in does not exist. They will say, you have been added to the waiting list but never call you back. So don’t bother asking and come after check in time.

Gorgeous hotel in a brilliant location. Super modern, very cool. Lots of bars and a club in the hotel which are easy to access as a resident without needed to queue. Rooms are all that’s needed. Bijou but well thought out. Perfect for groups of single people and friends. Less so for families and probably not ideal for a romantic weekend away. Although the roof top bar has the most incredible views.
