The room was very small. The valet parking was $64 a night. We had to wait 15 minutes to get our vehicle. When I spoke to Bren and her manager they were very unconcerned.

Beautiful hotel, food was delicious, staff was a bit unwelcoming towards my sister - they need to work on not stereotyping- they locked her other room three times and a complete stranger opened her bedroom door. The hotel itself and food was amazing

The property etc is fine and the restaurant on the 1st floor, Pasque, is exceptional. What ruined our stay was how "dynamic pricing" was done. Our room rate was listed on Expedia for $258 a night. We were charged, on checkout, for the 3 nights: $258, $599, and $779!!! The ethical way to do this was to list the room for $599 a night - that would have indicated to us the actualy price. As it is, we felt thoroughly screwed, no other way to put it. For Populus a one time gain - we do to Denver a lot but will never stay there again...

We loved our stay at Populus! This is a gorgeous, modern hotel! We stayed in a standard King with our small dog, which was admittedly a bit cozy, but it was very comfortable! I really appreciated that there were bowls with a plastic mat, and a dog bed in the room, along with a personalized card recommending dog friendly places to go in Denver! The roof top bar is a must for stunning views and a delicious drink, and Little Owl cafe has tasty coffee and excellent pastries! All of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful! If we ever return to Denver, we know where we'll be staying!
