1. Just stayed one night at Public - beautiful lobby and restaurant/cafe - but that is where the 'wow' moment stops - tiny room - tiny tiny bathroom - with old fixtures painted over and carpeting that is not soft to the feet.

2. The rooms are still tiny, and now the beds are about 16 inches tall.

3. Lobby is very grand, but rooms are tiny and bathroom even smaller.

4. I get wanting to be minimal, but those pre-war tiny bathrooms with a plastic shower curtain, and skimpy generic looking toiletries made me long for my own bathroom back in ny.

5. The bathrooms are still tiny, not renovated, just spray painted white except a new sink i think.

7. There are stunning old light-switch /socket that totally clash with the new interior, carpet looks like just temporally placed (seemed not glued with all the cables passing under and over) and of a very low quality, air conditioning/heating is extremely noisy and looks as old as was the Ambassador West (former name of Public Hotel) door, walls and wardrobe are just painted white over (under still the old Ambassador stuff) and bathroom is tiny and definitely very poor in style.

9. What we found to be the most impressive aspects of PUBLIC Chicago are:* the beautiful public (no pun intended) spaces - lobby, Pump Room, the Library & Coffee bar* GREAT service from staff - everyone was very friendly, helpful, and responsive* free WiFi throughout the hotel as well as 4 iMacs for guests' use in the lobby* very clean, modern, minimalist decor in rooms* some of the best towels I've ever used in any hotelThings we a little bothered or put off by were:* tiny bathrooms* no dresser in a Standard Queen room* location - the hotel is located in the beautiful/quiet Gold Coast, but it's not as convenient as many other major Chicago hotels.

10. I found it odd that in a room with a Mom and two teens we only got one VERY tiny bottle of shampoo and body lotion.
