New Hotel Needs Time to Get Act Together

This is a brand new hotel. The team really needs to get their act together -- they behave like they've never had to do their basic tasks (e.g., check in) before. Also, the room layouts are weird. I would not repeat.

Solid stay, great room.

One of the better rooms in Seattle, spacious and well appointed. That said, it can be noisy. The room next door was ragging past midnight which made sleep more difficult. I finally banged on the wall and it stopped. You can also hear the street and if there is any pro sports game the reveling is noticeable. I would say to stay here and just not in a room that faces the street. I’ll be back and make adjustments but this is my new hotel for Seattle after 10 years of trying all the downtown places. The drip coffee was better than average as well.

Populus is a fantastically renovated older building. The staff is all extremely friendly. The rooftop bar is amazing! The bar down the street is SUPER noisy and it goes til 2am so would recommend asking for a higher up room if you’re a light sleeper. The area is a little unsafe fairly close by. We were there for one night to go to a football game so it was good for us.

Gorgeous. Needs better sound proofing?

The hotel itself is very nice. Our only issue was noise. We were located on the second floor and could hear the music from the restaurant below all the time.
