โI had a flight delayed and the front was present to check me in at 1am. The bed was amazing if you a firm mattress. Beautiful room with floor to ceiling windows of the city. Bathroom was exceptionally clean. โ
โWe stayed at the Populus Seattle for the weekend to go to a baseball game and ended up loving it so much we decided to extend an extra night! I cannot recommend the hotel enough. The inside bar is incredible, as is the bar on the roof! Theyโre still working out some kinks in the restaurant but they took ownership of the delays and comped our entire meal which was more than appreciated! Valet was also a bit slow to bring our car but nothing too inconvenient. I will now stay here every time I...
"pros:
- If coming from the airport, taking the link train and getting off at Symphony station is very close to the hotel.
- Located in downtown, so itโs convenient for both going to the convention center and sightseeing.
- Relatively affordable price.
cons:
- The slope on Seneca Street is quite steep. It was really tough pulling a suitcase from Symphony hall station to the hotel.
- If booking through a third party (e.g., Hotels.com), they hold a $200 INCIDENTAL charge. This is a policy, but there was no prior notice about this. -> Fortunately, it was refunded immediately after checkout.
- The Wi-Fi speed in the room was surprisingly slow. It was noticeably slower compared to other places like cafes or the convention center.
- The staff was unfriendly, especially the woman at the front desk in the afternoon. I asked if I could change rooms because the Wi-Fi speed was too slow for my work, and her response was, "Moving to a higher floor wonโt make the Wi-Fi faster." When did I ask to move to a higher floor? I donโt understand her attitude. To add, they didnโt change my room.
- In terms of room assignments, I noticed that the hotel tends to assign people of color to lower floors when using the elevator.
