The hotel itself is wonderful amazing decor, lovely bars, and very photo worthy. The service could be better. While the staff is younger, they lack the level of professionalism you’d expect from a four star hotel. The hotel is practically a ghost town before 7 am and sometimes a simple good morning will be welcomed as opposed to a “FYI we aren’t open yet”. Not really the best way to start a day, but it is NYC in the winter so I somewhat understand. The check in process was quick and easy, however I wish more was explained upon check in. The room itself was cozy and basic. Enough compartments to store your stuff and the complementary umbrella came in useful on the rainy day I was there. However the biggest problem I had in my room was on the morning of my check out when I got up to shower and realized there was no hot water. So given my early commute it didn’t make sense to call the front desk because I had to check out anyway. When I reached downstairs that morning, there was nobody at the desk and I just checked out on the kiosk and went my way. While I was excited to visit Public I was underwhelmed by the experience it provided. While they say luxury for all, it seems that it is luxury based on what you desire. If you are into partying and a nightlife, this is for you. If you are on business and need a place to rest, you can get a lot more for less in that regard in the city. In short: Lovely hotel to visit, not so much stay.

This was the worst hotel experience I have ever had... My friend and I were celebrating our 50th birthdays and had told the hotel as such on booking. On arrival there was no welcome not acknowledgement of our special occasion. We had booked a twin room which said it had double beds. The bed widths were smaller than an average double and the length was considerably shorter than a standard bed (my friend is 5ft 10 and her head and feet only just fit on the bed). The room was tiny with barely enough space for one person let alone two. The wall to the shower was made from semi opaque glass so when showering you can be seen from the bedroom. We complained about the facilities and the staff did nothing to try and resolve the situation. They merely kept stating the glass was "from Italy". We asked if they could put us in a different room or give us separate rooms as we didn't feel it is appropriate to be able to see a companion showering when in a twin room. They refused and did not offer any suitable solution so we had to find accommodation elsewhere. We did not even receive an apology for our awful experience. Would never recommend this hotel to anyone. Dreadful
