Nice hotel in a very nice area.

When I made the reservation I requested a room with a nice view. I followed up with that request the week prior to our visit and I was told a room with a nice view could not be guaranteed, it was based on availability at arrival. We arrived shortly after 3, the earliest check in time, and we were told a room with a nice view was not available. We were disappointed but we were provided valet parking to compensate for a portion of our stay. The hotel staff could not be more professional or nicer. We had a room with two double beds, very small and modest, but very clean.

Visiting new grandchild

Publics Hotel offered a nice room at a great price. Excellent staff help. Good coffee bar reasonably priced considering the free refills all day. Within walking distance to public transportation. Hotel restaurant was over priced for our budget, but other restaurants in the area were great.

Nice boutique hotel near lincoln park

Pros: It was unique
Cons: Cleanliness of the rooms!!!
Overall very nice boutique hotel with a great coffee shop. Our room was in DESPERATE need of a deep clean. There were mystery stains on the carpet and the walls and baseboards were scuffed up (and that is not something I would usually even notice- this was very obvious).

Nice, Quiet and convenient

Pros: Quiet hotel and neighborhood.
Cons: Coffee in the room would be nice.
Location: Quiet residential neighborhood close to Magnificent Mile and less than 2 blocks from the lake.
Hotel was very clean and quiet. I will try to stay at the Public Chicago on my next stay if I am able.

Boutique hotel with a great staff!

Pros: The staff was very personable and friendly. Décor and public spaces were inviting and comfortable. Great location in a beautiful neighborhood
Cons: More plugs, bigger bathroom.
Location: Beautiful residential neighborhood within walking distance to Lincoln Park and Zoo, Lake Michigan and amazing shopping.
We stayed in a loft room for an extended weekend. The bed and bedding were comfortable and great, even the sofa bed which is hardly ever the case! Our only complaint was that the bathroom was small for 4 people and there was a shortage of plugs. Other than that, it was a perfect stay!!

Great location - Room ok

Pros: The lobby and location were very nice.
Cons: The room needs work. The carpet worn, light switches didn't function well, the pictures on the wall were 3x5. Not seen that before.
Location: 2 blocks from lake-shore drive and a close walk to the north side of the loop. The homes in that area are outstanding.
The location was great and close to where we wanted to be. The room was not what we expected for the price.
