Liked: Room comfort
Overall comfortable stay. Really spacious and clean room with fully equipped kitchen and utensils. One hiccup was that check in was 2 hours late due to housekeeping delays. This was communicated 15 mins after the original check in time but by then I already had accessed the room and saw that the space was not cleaned. Another issue we encountered was that the extra towels and blankets we requested for the sofa bed never arrived.
The heat didn’t work and at night it got so cold I could see my breathe even after Sonder claimed to had fixed it. On top of that the elevator stopped working and I had to walk up and down 8 flights of stairs. No parking attached to the building but there is a parking lot near by that charges $30 every time you enter.

Cool remodeling of an old industrial building. The one bedroom accommodation had stylish furnishings and a nicely appointed kitchen, laundry, and bath.
Unfortunately the location is sketchy. The front desk was frequently unattendedThe staff was unprofessional and indifferent. The walls were paper-thin.

Great Hotel in Philly.
I stayed here for four nights and was completely pleased. The suite was spotless and everything worked very well. I would definitely stay here again.
We stayed for 2 nights and were impressed with our room. It felt very modern chic. It was very quiet and comfy. The room was very clean as well. We used the gym and the rooftop was very nice. It is very close to center city and all things we planned on doing. Would recommend !
The hotel was excellent. The room was well-supplied and comfortable. It was within blocks of the Reading Terminal market, which is great for a quick breakfast and/or for shopping for dinner. As I have grown more comfortable with the neighborhood, free overnight parking can be found on the street - remember, you are in a city, so leave nothing in the car. There's a small park north of the hotel that looks like a nice short walk. The area is growing and I expect many more neighborhood businesses in 2025.
Loved the Sonder. The only issues were minor
1. original door code didn't work - but got a new one via chat on my phone in minutes
2. ductwork made a loud noise when the heat went on and off - but i got used to it after the first night
Staff was WONDERFUL - great concierge staff, online support excellent, service staff excellent. We'll definitely stay here again next time we're in Philadelphia.
