Toilet was broken upon arrival. Was first told maintenance would be up in the morning. Not sure how they thought that would work with no functioning toilet. Finally someone came and tried to fix it but wasn’t successful. We were given access to different room to use toilet but not switch rooms- wasn’t too convenient in middle of the night. Was fixed next day.

I should have read the reviews BEFORE booking. So not to be too long, the area is ideal for everything from night life to being in the center of the state to travel everywhere and do all the things you wish to do. We knew we would take daily (all day, early am trips) so didn’t care too much when we booked. Downside: the WiFi didn’t work, the bed is stiff/extremely firm, the manual door codes didn’t work and the room layout didn’t totally match the photo. We messaged Somder via the all but that wasn’t much help at all. The building is secure which is good but also annoying and should be a key fob entrance. Paying to park is just a cash grab since it’s clearly available but they just want to make extra money from you. Overall, even though we wanted somewhere just to lay our head at night, I wouldn’t recommend this property unless you’re solo but for the comfort you’re better off sleeping in the car for the same experience.

Loved the 1 bedroom apartment. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything needed. There were only a couple of issues. The first was the WiFi was out for several hours and the second was they closed the gym for remodeling.

There is a very strong smell of pee right outside the building. You can see the columns stained with pee. And it's aggravated with the heat. May be someone could clean that up from time to time

I really enjoyed the concept of Sonder at McKinley. Getting access to the building and the rooms with key codes, any questions or request going through the app, and everything overall being online, with no "front desk" to deal with. It felt very independent and the rooms were very nice, with balconies and full kitchens. One thing that was slightly frustrating was the internet going in and out every few minutes, especially since I was here for a conference and needing to work in between. It was also almost impossible to use the Chromecast since the internet is needed to sync devices.

Great location not far from Convention Center! Will definitely stay again if I am in Phoenix. Mikes Big Breakfast a block away is so good, Went every day. I had to extend my stay due to Hurricane back home and Sonder was very accommodating in making that emergency change.

The property itself was great, clean, roomy, smelled great and the bed was comfortable. The only part i would say wasnt great for me, was if you dont read the several emails. It was a bit difficult to get there. The door reads the stewart, but when booking it read its called the sonder at McKinley, so that was confusing. When u get a rode share and they drop you off near a parking garage, and i had no clue where it was based on the name. So think about arriving from airport, your tired, hungry and jist want to get to your room all the while holding several pieces of luggage, only to find out you didnt read those very important emails that will instruct you wil several lieces of inportant info. Like a different door codes just to navigate.. So my take away, is if you want a hotel stay this isnt it, but if you read those email and download their app you will be fine and it really was a great stay.

Maiden Nite..
This was a short trip to see Iron Maiden, but morphed to a small getaway. Our Granddaughter, as we found out, had Fall Break, after the concert date. She is our little tail, as far as concerts, she has seen her shows of Metal. None, better than Maiden. Sonder was better than expected, aside from remembering the code numbers. When I ordered the room, it took about 2.5 weeks for the information about Sonder to download. IDK why, it takes that long??? Aside from that, the main room was excellent, separate room, shared 2nd room. The kitchen with all of the utensils and glass ware. The kitchen island was an added bonus, with the complete living room. Washer & Dryer was an added bonus. It was relaxing with the swimming pool on the top floor, looking down on DT Phoenix.

Amazing views, great family stay
Amazing view, great for an asthma and allergy-friendly family vacation. Comfy bed (we got a king sized one - apt. no. 1316), spacious apartment, pack n play available for our toddler. The kitchen had a complete set of utensils and everything we needed. We did not have noise issues on our side of the building. The app was very convenient. Did not need cleaning so can't comment on that but the apt was clean when we arrived. Air conditioning worked well during record hot temps.Elevator access was convenient. Parking for 15 USD per day, easy entry in and out with the transponder, our spot was on the 7th floor so a bit of driving. We did actually use the light rail due to the heat but could have done so, to get to the conference center. Improvements: (1) Bedroom: Replacement of chest of drawers in the bedroom - somewhat worn, drawers get stuck easily; (2) Bathroom: Addition towel hooks next to the sink and a longer towel rail in the bathroom (the one over the toilet was not enough), The only improvements would be: (3) Bathroom: Increase in water pressure - it was generally lowish, probably a feature of the building. With water pressure this low, it would be worth removing flow limitors (if the shower heads have them built-in) (4) Stacked washer-dryer: the rubber around the door of the washer needs a good clean since the washer door should be left open after a wash, in order to air dry (humidity does not air out when the door is closed after a wash)

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.
