Loved our stay at the Populus Hotel. The design is so fun and the details throughout were very thoughtful. Bed was comfortable and I thoroughly enjoyed the coffee shop downstairs in the mornings. The only thing that wasn’t great was the lighting in the sink area. It was pretty terrible to get ready and apply makeup. Ended up taking the mirror to the bench in the window.

Great stay in downtown Denver

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as the hotel was new, clean, trendy, comfortable, good location & friendly staff! The only downfall is the coffee in the room is a ‘tea bag’ coffee & having to venture downstairs each morning to buy coffee was a bit of a bummer. In addition, housekeeping staff does not appear to stay after 3 pm, so if you work remote and plan to need housekeeping after a day of work, that is kind of a bummer as well. We were able to get our trash and towels taken care of, but for the whole 3 days we stayed, our coffee mugs were not removed, coffee bar not restocked and room cleaning was truly sub-par. I’m a clean freak and put a great deal of weight on the housekeeping staff as I spend a lot of time in my room. Otherwise, staff was lovely, beds were very comfy, bathroom was great, restaurants were great! It’s a must see and try in downtown Denver!
