I took my boyfriend Brian to PUBLIC to stay during our romantic Weekend Getaway to attend ComicCon. I have stayed in the past at your property due to work and from the first visit I fell in love with the spirit, statement and design of the Hotel. As a Graphic Designer it strikes the chords of my artistic side and I was able to see in my boyfriend's eyes awe at this other approach when it comes to Hotel Stay. Definitely give PUBLIC 5-well deserved stars! Love, Vic

Tiny rooms poorly designed. Style over function. Tripping hazard for person sleeping near windows. Unnecessary complicated light contrls. I paid full price with Expedia but hotel added $ 50 per night "access fee" when I checked out. Do not go by Expedia price quote
