The stay was pretty decent but I didn’t like how the room didn’t have a microwave to warm up leftovers and then our light switch button was coming apart.

We stayed in the kind room with a sofa bed and the room did not look as advertised in the picture. It was also dirty. The shower head had so much dirty buildup on it that some of the spouts didn’t work and the grout in the shower had mold on it. There was also hair all over the bathroom when we first checked in. Walls were dirty. Would not recommend

Public Hotel is a hip place to come and hang out if you are a 20-something hoping to go clubbing or co-work. The decor--from lounge to rooftop--is fresh and cool as intended. However, it's not a great place to stay. The cold water in our sink came out at barely a trickle. We paid extra for a "city view" but that meant we were over the entrance and basement nightclub, which kept us up until 3 a.m. every night. The iPad check in did not work, so the staff person had to redo it from scratch. We were hit at checkout with an unannounced $50/day resort fee, but were at first turned away from the rooftop club because one of us was wearing shorts, only to change, go up, and see several men in shorts (overnight guests are supposed to be given preferred treatment for club access for that $50/day). The guests-only lounge in the lobby is supposed to be open until 4 p.m. each day, but we were scooted out at 10 a.m.. The hallway smelled like a pool for several days, wet paint on another (there is no pool). Staff? What staff, other than the bewildered elevator bouncer and iPad assistant? Etc. etc. A LOT of great intent and desire to be cool, different, and innovative. And that hugely succeeds if you're in the area and want to come by for a drink, a work spot that's a step up from a cafe, or an excellent network locale. For lodging? Not enough focus on that here due to too much focus on everything else. Better options for lodging readily available nearby.

5 star review! Love this place

I had a fantastic experience with Public. Air Canada went on strike and only a few us arrived. We booked a suite and they accommodated us to a smaller room and refunded us for the bigger one. Unfortunately the first night, there were a couple fighting the room right next to us. And we told the hotel, they upgraded us to a nicer room the next day and also compensated us for the night before. And I had to stay one extra night and they just let me stay in the same room for a basic room price. Overall the staff were so friendly and I really enjoyed my time there. 5 star! And I will come back again. The only thing is at the restaurant below. The restaurant wasn’t super clean, it had hair on the couches. It doesn’t seem like they do a through clean of the breakfast restaurant.
