“Populus' sustainable Seattle stay”
Populus Seattle is a super cute sustainable Seattle hotel — an ideal location beside the train station and the stadiums, lovely restaurant and rooftop spots, luggage holding for wanders between trains, water stations on every floor, an extremely clean beautiful interior, and dedicated amazing staff. One sour note: a guest arrived to find their reservation canceled while a prior-night charge stood — support eventually authorized a refund (the hotel says no deposit was taken) — and the rebooked rate had tripled, so they stayed elsewhere.
