It’s a mixed bag of a hotel experience
Staying at Public was a strange experience! The room was comfortable and even though very small (as is the norm in NYC), you could tell a lot of thought had gone into the design and maximising storage and hanging space. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was great. It’s the ‘open plan’ type of bathroom so I wouldn’t be comfortable sharing with someone I’m not in a relationship with! Very little privacy. The weird part is that you pay hundreds of dollars a night to not talk to any staff. It’s kind of like a really pricey hostel. Everything is self service (down to making your own key cards) or QR code based. It felt odd and sometimes annoying. We just wanted to go up the roof bar for a drink yet everything online and in the room suggests you have to make reservations. You don’t! After about three tries we finally found one helpful person who told us just to go to Level L and skip the non-residents line. The resort fee is laughable. You can do gym classes or get free coffee in the guest lounge…but only between 6-8am. That’s it really. The location is great and we loved the view from our room. We had a great trip overall but I think I would stay somewhere else next time.

No privacy + loud... but cute hotel
Alright, I'm not super picky and never leave reviews but I stayed at Public this week and felt kind of crazy because of the room setup. I upgraded to the King room with sofa bed and it was really nice! It's a big room with a large closet. It was just me so I was like, great. The first night everything was fine. I'd stayed in the hotel before and knows it gets a little clubby. The second night, the couple in the room connected to mine came back at 1:30am and I could hear literally every word they were saying; they were also blasting music. It sounded like they were in my room with me. I realized the connecting door has basically zero insulation (the light from their room was shining into mine). I didn't feel comfortable going over at 1:30am so I tried contacting hotel security to call them or knock on the door and got no response at all. (I don't think a front desk number exists or I would have tried it.) The couple finally quieted down but I lost a good two hours of sleep. In the morning, I let the two guys down at check-in know what happened and I will say, they were super nice and understanding and agreed to a partial refund, which I felt was fair, so they get 5 stars from me. (TY to those fellas at the hotel the morning of 12/19.) Anyway, I don't know if it was just that particular type of room but it felt insane that I could literally look under the door and essentially see into the other room. Never again! Also, the steamer in my room was filled with mold. :(

Standard rooms are small but cozy, the hotel itself is gorgeous! Probably not worth holiday rates, but it feels lux so if you’re looking for a treat, it’s worth it.
