★ Real traveler reviews
Verbatim excerpts from TripAdvisor reviews.
“Lost my belongings a couple weeks ago at Art Space. I asked the bartender, Rita, about it and she quickly found it with the aide of Security. Everything was in my bag, and honestly, thank you to Rita and the security staff.”
“I was a big fan of the PUBLIC Hotel Chicago. I'm a Schrager fan. I came with high expectations. PROs: spectacular design, decor, variety of areas where to experience the hotel. CONs: some of the staff is simply rude. Others are the opposite. An example: we're told that there's no table available at the roof top bar.”
“I had a wonderful experience at the Lovy bar at Public hotel in downtown New York. Sebastian is a great bartender. He recommend a really refreshing drink for me after inquiring about what I liked. My entire time at my hotel was well worth the price”
“Excellent people at the check in desk. Chris particularly gave us extra support on a terrible rainy day. Nice chatting with Harry too. The drinks were pretty good too, but music in the lobby gets loud on Saturdays though, so beware. Overall, a cool spot to check out.”
