I would not choose to stay at this hotel again. For one, it's clearly and old building that has had cosmetic upgrades to make it look modern. Unfortunately, things like the air conditioning barely work well enough to keep the room at a livable temperature...More
My trip to Chicago was bittersweet, as I was both attending a family memorial service and visiting friends. Staying at the Public was the perfect choice: quiet location, perfectly clean and minimalistic rooms, gorgeous building and architecture, central locale, and fabulous bar/restaurant amenities (Pump Room)....More

We arrived at the hotel at 4:30pm. Our room wasn't ready and the staff told us that we will need to wait 45 minutes for our room. She mentioned that we could pay 30 dollars and get upgrade to a different room called "Loft". So...More

I apologize for your recent experience. Our Loft rooms are two categories higher than our Superior king rooms, more spacious and are considered a junior suite. We do take a $100 incidental hold per night that is released upon checkout. Nonetheless, we never want...More

Located just north of The Loop, Gold Coast is one of Chicago’s most affluent and popular neighborhoods. The original Playboy, Hugh Hefner, once had a mansion here. In addition to prestigious hotels, historic mansions and luxury high-rise apartments, you’ll also find upscale specialty boutiques and Michelin-starred restaurants. Walk along Oak Street for your shopping fix and dance through the night along Rush Street. The

Newberry Library is also a great stop to check out noteworthy exhibits and rare book collections.

My friends and I had a debate on this subject that turned into a debacle. Having made the trip a few times and given we were landing about 3:30-4pm I was adamant on the blue line. Cheap and pretty fast.
They decided to take a taxi, it was total gridlock. We tried shorts cuts that were just speed bumps galore. Lost a few hours of our weekend+money!
I'd go uber only if traffic was known to be quiet. Taxi as a last resort. Provided it's a decent (safer) time of day I'd always use the train. Besides the walk through Gold Coast area to the public is a pleasant one!
