I had a great stay in this cute and cozy studio!! It was nice staying somewhere safe and secure and very clean! Being able to go out and look out on the balcony was awesome! My only complaint is the pillows were not very comfortable, i definitely recommend bringing your own pillow. That was my mistake. Otherwise 10/10!

I would have liked to have had the option to upgrade our stay to include having our college daughter room with us. We were in town to visit her but found that it was more difficult logistically to meet up with her each day on campus. It was challenging by chat to make the request and was simply told it wasn't an option.

The Sonder always exceeds our expectations! We love the easy check in and out, clean and comfortable room and beds plus a full size kitchen with all the amenities makes it feel like a home away from home! The pool/hot tub and billiards room were also exceptional!

Arizona stay
The place was nice and clean. The mattresses were comfortable. The only thing is that the apartment smelled like mildew. The smell went a little less while we were there. The place was so close to the stadium

The room itself is gorgeous! The room is a great deal and offers everything you could need. It seems like a great apartment. However, as a hotel it lacks a lot. First there’s a code for everything! In one day, it’s impossible for me to memorize the code, but you can’t go anywhere without it. I know it’s for safety, but a front desk clerk could avoid that. There are no signs to the pool or the parking garage, so that’s frustrating! We drove around for an hour and finally had to ask someone because the parking garage says The Stewart and not the Sonder. Also, I’m older and actually want a real person to talk to, in person or by phone. But there’s no one. They provide you maintenance’s number, but I’m not going to call maintenance to ask where the pool is. Btw, it’s on the 18 floor, despite being a rooftop pool. You can’t get to it on the 19 floor. I’m sure once you have the codes memorized and know the building, it’s awesome. But for one night, I’m not going to stay again.

I would have rated this property much higher as it was a neat place to stay. But the air conditioner was not working the whole time we were there, in the heat of the summer. They did come by multiple times to take a look, but nothing was ever fixed. From reading previous reviews, it looks like this has been an ongoing issue. Requested a refund but never heard anything back.
