Great location. Could use some free coffee in the lobby and faster elevator. Staff was great and rooms are clean. They have coin laundry machine on site.

PUBLIC, an Ian Schrager hotel
Water pressure was poor, room smelled like cigarettes (and I don’t smoke) and got worse anytime the air or heat was turned on, and bed was hard & uncomfortable. While it visually appealing, it was an uncomfortable stay. Also, my check-in was at 3p but room wasn’t ready until 5:00p.

East Village Hotel
Great location that’s central to everywhere you want to go. Clean and cheaper compared to most places. Pretty loud at night like you can hear everyone on the stairwell and in the building along with outside noise
