Quick walk to everything on 16th street. I am an athlete, so the gym was what is was. Love the water stations on every floor and the green consciousness. Ambiance of decor and lighting was fantastic. The food and the restaurants was amazing. So fresh. Only negative note is that the valet scratched my rental car.

Although the idea of the populus was very nice, being new and all - I was very disappointed with the size of the rooms for the price. My closet in my home is bigger than the shoebox they called a standard King room. The toilet and shower were so small my husband who is 6'3 barely fit!! Just something to keep in mind for anyone looking to stay here as I think its wayy overpriced. Also the bar did not offer a TV and i think thats always a nice added touch especially during football season.

I wanted to love this hotel because it’s new and I love a modern, new, clean hotel. But it was disappointing and I would not stay there again. The rooms are tiny and clearly designed by a man. They are dark even with the shades open and all lights on, so it was hard to do my hair, makeup, etc. There is no where to put your suitcase other than on the floor, or in a tiny closet not big enough to open a carry-on bag. The bathroom is just a toilet and small shower with the sink in the room. The staff are hit or miss. Three different people told me three different things regarding the cost for parking and parking hours.
