Great hotel. Fantastic restaurant. The only complaint is that they claim that they have anything you may need however we asked for simple items like deodorant and a brush and they didn't have either.
Great time! Excellent staff. It was my wife's birthday and they were nice enought to have a bottle of champagne in the room. Breakfast was wonderful. The roof was fun!
The hotel is really nice. The public advisors as they’re called, are super friendly and helpful. The only blip is the folks at the roof top and the bouncer who lets you in—he was nice enough at the beginning but suddenly was abrupt when the security? At the roof bar told him that I ventured over to the side that was forbidden (by accident!!) because there wasn’t anything sectioning it off completely (which he did afternoon he told me it was forbidden). Had someone told me, I would have stuck to the smaller side that was allowed. The room is nice, the noise outside sucks but that can’t be helped, it’s the area. Definitely put the shades down, it helped the noise a little...but I couldn’t sleep the night I didn’t at all... Other then that, I would definitely be back.
Incredible view from our room on the 16th floor. Staff were friendly and accommodating.
No in room coffee, microwave, or refrigerator we requested a refrigerator and never got 1 and 1 day the room was not cleaned very well. Really compact or small quarters but the beds were very comfortable. No fan in bathroom and you can hear every noise in bathroom not soundproof. Entertainment and restaurant or food court was great but really high prced. The Hotel itself was really modern and hip.
Thank you! We enjoyed our stay and will be back next time we are in NYC.
The hotel is beautiful and conveniently located and an excellent price point.
Clean, upscale, modern, comfy beds, easy access to public transportation for airports. Warm cookies after 8pm from downstairs. Bottled water in the room. Free filtered and fruit infused water. WiFi was good.
Part of the building was being remodeled but that did not affect the access or quality of service.
Absolutely excellent ! The quality and standards are there. I am super picky and was absolutely pleased with the attention to detail.
The room was lovely, and I especially appreciated the clothes steamer that was available in the room. Closet was a bit slightly tall for me (average height woman), but the ambient / mood light setup was really relaxing. Fur throw felt quite luxe and was a great touch. Light switches were a little confusing (sometimes the main one by the door opened the shades and closed them, sometimes it only opened them and refused to close?). You'd never guess the soft, natural color palettes and finishes in the rooms based on the trendier staircase/lobby. My main gripe was with the bathroom: weird decision to have the sink outside the bathroom itself; toilet was the most uncomfortable design I've ever experienced; and shower was walk-in style, though the space didn't seem suited for it (too small). The overall vibe was very young and I had a lot of folks tell me the PUBLIC was right in the center of the trendiest spot at the moment.
Love this hotel so much. I have a great time staying with my boyfriend here, and we decided to live here whenever we travel to New York! Love this place!
My husband and I stayed at PUBLIC for 2 nights and really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is fairly new and is very modern and well designed. The elevators that lead up to the lobby level are lit with neon lights and mirrors and creates quite a wow factor. There is no lobby per se, and there is staff available to assist with the self checkin notebooks if needed. There is a beautiful common area for lounging or meeting friends. The room was small but efficient and had a comfy bed. It is in a great area close to trendy shops and many restaurants. I would definitely stay again.
