The Poplar Room has a private bathroom with a shower. It is stocked with Grown Alchemist toiletries, bathrobes, slippers, a hair dryer and towels, which are changed on request. Toothbrush and toothpaste are available on request.

It covers unlimited high-speed WiFi, a $15 daily Pasque food and beverage credit, 24-hour fitness centre access with Peloton bikes, up to two tickets to the Clyfford Still Museum, and access to the daytime Stellar Jay Lounge (6:30 am to 1:30 pm).

Little Owl Coffee is the lobby coffee bar. Breakfast is not complimentary, but your daily Pasque credit can go toward a meal.

Populus has no pool and no spa. Instead you get a 24-hour fitness centre with Peloton bikes, plus the rooftop Stellar Jay and its terrace, which looks toward Civic Center Park.
