Lower Manhattan – Independent i Lower Manhattan, New York

"Lovely room with all neccesities, very nice hotel"

"Super"

"I don’t have incidents that caused a negative experience, this is based on an overall experience. I was promptly instructed to pay 200 dollars in “resort fees” at check in. This covers things like the gym and the roof top. Oh well. Arrived to the room and discovered it to be very small. I’m also disappointed to discover that it is made up of quite cheap decor. It looked nice in the pictures, but in reality the ‘wood details’ were plastic. The soaps are cheap bulk soaps, the sink had gunk and green mold in the drain area. The floor was dirty and the window with the GREAT VIEW as they call it (which I had paid extra for) was almost completely covered in dirt. However, that’s not even the worst part of the Public experience. The worst part is that it seems like the hotel is trying to be more ‘exclusive’ than it is. This comes to expression by security people making you queue for the rooftop and screening you, to make it feel like an exclusive nightclub (that rooftop you force paid for). It also shows when security guards follow you to ensure you don’t use ‘professional’ cameras (I had a normal Canon) anywhere. Or, that there is NOwhere in the hotel you are allowed to work a bit, because no laptops are allowed anywhere other than your claustrophobic room. Honestly, the entire experience was cringe from a mid-tier hotel suffering from the complex of wanting to be Soho House and falling into trap of thinking bad service is exclusiveness. I added a star for the coffee shop guys"

"Et hotel med top beliggenhed, men så stopper det også der. Hvad plejede at være et top luksus hotel, må betegnes som være i frit fald. En skam da layout er klasse. "

"Nice hotel but very noisy due to industrial exchaust outside room which was running all night. The problem was partly fixed with earplugs, but even then it was noisy. I had room 506 and would recommend tonget a room in another part of the hotel."

"Placeringen var super god! hotellet super, MEN der var store mangler ved morgenmaden, ofte var alt væk, selvom vi var nede kl. 08:30 ! så kunne man stille sig i en meget lang kø for så at håbe på en siddeplads bagefter. Så alt var fint undtagen morgenmads delen."

"The people in reception were great and REALLY helpful. The rooms are large compared to many other hotels in New York and very clean. The hotel is in a great location for many sights and transport. Great experience. "

"An amazing experience! Exclusive service, and a big thanks to Gaby. She helped me, upgrading my room for at better view over Hudson Yard. The size of the room was great, and the location of the hotel the best. The bathrooms were amazing, and especially the main, with both shower and bathtub with a fine view."

"Det var rigtig godt! Udsigten var skøn, og personalet var søde og hjælpsomme. Placeringen var også helt perfekt! Meget centralt. Vi vil klart anbefale dette hotel 😍"
