Great Stay

We had an excellent stay at Sonder the Merchant. It's brand new with beautiful gold fixtures in the bathroom, and we especially loved the location in the Lower East Side. We would definitely consider staying here again on our next NYC trip.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Staff was extremely unhelpful and rude. Felt like it could have been racially motivated. I will not be staying here ever again.
