Nice property and clean stay. The only downside that they don’t tell you about is that there’s a club upstairs, downstairs and 2 bars and on Saturday nights it’s jam packed outside and gets super loud.

The hotel is beautiful and the rooftop is undeniably cool, but don’t expect any VIP treatment—even if you’re a hotel guest. Drinks are seriously overpriced (my boyfriend paid $36 USD for a non-alcoholic drink just because it had Red Bull in it). The staff wasn’t particularly courteous either; when we asked for help with our luggage upon check-out, we were told it’s a “self-serve” hotel. Basic essentials were lacking—no body lotion, bathrobes, or slippers. The person at front desk told me that I could go buy them at the Whole Foods next door… for a $500 USD a night you would expect the BASICS. We repeatedly asked for extra towels and never received them, leaving us stuck with cold, damp ones. While the hotel has a fun, party vibe on weekends, it also attracted some sketchy locals wandering around the property. There was zero visible security, and at times, I felt unsafe. We booked this hotel hoping for a similar experience to the Edition in Miami, but this fell short. It’s definitely a young, buzzing scene, but the quality doesn’t justify the high price point. Even a three-star hotel offers body lotion!!

I recently stayed at Public Hotel and was thoroughly disappointed. While I was fine with the self check-in process (even though an inconvenience), the rest of the experience didn’t meet expectations, especially given the high price point. There was no room service available, the staff were consistently unhelpful and had an attitude whenever we asked simple questions, and the hallway carpets were stained and noticeably dirty. For a hotel that markets itself as upscale, the lack of basic service was incredibly underwhelming.
