Never again!
My husband and I booked a room at the here after receiving many emails and snail mail publications advertising how fantastic the newly remodeled Public Hotel is; and the price was so reasonable we couldn't pass it up. We live in Chicago and were hoping to have a quiet night away from the kids. Upon arriving at the hotel it seemed pleasant, a bit hip on the style, but the crowd that was hanging out in the lobby was definitely carrying AARP cards. The rooms are very small and very stark. The heating system was extremely loud, but it came in handy when we were trying to go to sleep and needed to drown out the noise from the adult movies which seemed to be on continuous play all night long in the room next door. At 4 in the morning we were awoken by voices that sounded like they were in our room but they were coming from the adjoining room which we had a door to within our room and you could see light coming thru the room. We started talking ourselves and I think we shocked the new arrivals b/c they were a little quiter after that, but you definitely could hear everything thru the walls. I did call guest services to complain and they were helpful, but it was such a bad experience that by that time we were wishing we had just stayed at home. 
If you are looking for a quality hotel to relax in this is not your place. If you are looking for somewhere to stay so you can enjoy/party in Chicago's nightlife and don't care about luxury or noisy neighbors you would be fine to stay here. We won't be returning.
