I liked the location of the property. It is just in the city center and convenient to get everywhere you want. Check-in and check-out procedures are simple and don't require any special attention. A huge advantage is keyless access to your room. I like a mobile-first approach. However, I was upset with the cleanliness. I saw hair everywhere, and it made me sad. I like clean properties. Seems like they don't pay much attention to cleaning.

The check in instructions could be a lot more clear. The email isn’t mobile optimized which would help since most people are reading it on their phones.

Classy condo apartment with self-check-in
This was a lovely apartment in a great building in a great neighborhood. It was very convenient to my business meeting in downtown, and there superb local restaurants open nearby late on a Tuesday night for dinner. The bedding was especially comfortable. Note that Sonder does use online check-in and provides code numbers for access to the building and your room. There was, however, a live person at a front desk every time I passed through the lobby. There is also a nice lobby area and a recreation room available. Based on this property, I would not hesitate to consider a Sonder property in the future.

The property was clean and stocked for self-serve of extra items (like towels). We liked not having to keep track of keys or cards to get into the building and the room. The Club Room was a nice place to hang out and have a cup of coffee. It was handy have a kitchen in the room. The bed was comfortable; the pull-out couch was less so, but still serviceable. There was VERY LOUD noise from the bar down the street and car traffic. (Foam ear plugs were provided). Would stay at a Sonder property again.

Satisfactory place to stay in the heart of center city. The location is great. A bit noisy on weekends as there is a popular bar around the corner. The units could use a coat of paint and new carpets but overall the updated appliances and fixtures make it look nice. The cleaning product they use also makes the entire building smell unappealing.

Nice spacious room! Very clean and well kept. Kitchen has everything needed to make your stay enjoyable. I wondered why there were earplugs in every room, however I appreciated that greatly when it came to the street parties at night. I slept very comfortably and had a wonderful stay. Staff was very friendly and welcoming.

I stayed in a 1-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen. It was spacious, and the bed and sofa were both comfortable. Bathroom was also fairly spacious, with a modern and easy to use shower. Some minor complaints: no in-room safe, minimal shelf space for clothes, and the key pad for the building entrance was poorly lit and wouldn't respond to the app, forcing me to have to put on my reading glasses and still squint in the dark to manual punch-in the code.

We had some issues with our toilet during our stay but the property communicated promptly and said they would send someone to fix the issue. It was kept very clean. The location is within walkable distance to many restaurants and things to do. Strongly recommend.

A spacious suite that is modern and clean. Having a full kitchen was great. Accessing the building and suite was easy and secure. Communication was clear and the Sonder app is great. The only issue is street noise during the weekend. The hotel is near a busy street with lots of bars and people on the street late at a night.
