Concert Getaway

Everything was great but unfortunately we had to eat out at another restaurant due to the fact that the beer list was only local micro brew and no other European imports. I enjoy a beer with dinner when on vacation. So we were no able to enjoy the hotel restaurant or bar.

The hotel was beautiful and I loved the ecological consideration they put into everything. The food and service was excellent. The only thing that bothered me was the room was very small. I did not have space to open my bag all the way unless on the bed and had few places to unpack. It would work for a single person but was tight for a couple.

Sustainability Meets Aesthetics

No other hotel has topped the Populus in my experience. From aesthetics to sustainability to customer service, every detail was considered and perfectly executed. All together, it wove a richly layered, beautiful experience for us as guests. Both restaurants served excellent food, and the rooftop bar was top notch. The most affordable rooms are pretty small (though still very comfortable), so you may find that shelling out for a bigger room is worth the investment.

Populus was a great hotel to stay in! We couldn’t believe at how clean it was. The room was small but everything was immaculate. Staff was pleasant. I liked that this hotel is based on environmental conservation. I would recommend for them to change the lighting in the “vanity area” as it was really dark and difficult to see. One other thing is the location. We felt pretty unsafe walking around in this area and we are from Chicago so that’s saying a lot! Overall I would stay here again for sure.
