We had a lovely stay and appreciated the secure feeling you get whilst staying here. We were in fact blown away to have high quality soap, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Very thankful and impressed. Will be staying at a sonder building again.

I was surprised, this is like the Uber of hotels rooms. The building seems newly renovated and I was sad there was no laundry but everything else was great. Only thing I would say is don't get a ground floor room, the noise of guests in and out the main door is very loud in the rooms nearest the main door.

I will never stay here again. I didn’t realize when I booked it that it was operated completely on a self service model and the rooms were sub-basic (e.g., there is no chair, no desk, and the shower is in the room (no bathroom walls). There is no one to check you in. Everything is through the app. One night during the stay their app was down and I couldn’t let myself in to the hotel (which is always locked), or to me room (both are unlocked by the app). There is a separate security code you can use to let yourself in but you need the app to look it up. I called the support number and it took 10 minutes before I could get into my room. There is also no elevator in the building.

I love how clean the rooms are and how close it is to cafes and restaurants. Kinda hard to get in if your ID wont upload to check in. But once we got a hold of customer service they were pretty quick on helping us check in manually.

Convenient
The self-service cabinets for tea/coffee and towels took a bit of getting used to, but it was a clean and comfortable room with everything I needed. About a ten minute walk to transport.

The rooms were clean. Bed was clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is dirty. Parking is available but inconvenient. The building has no elevator making carrying our luggage to the sixth floor an adventure. No front desk or concierge to provide information.

It was great. The property was clean and well maintained. It’s in a sort of sketchy area- right near a club and folks hanging out. I felt a bit nervous coming home at night and fumbling to find my phone and correctly typing in the code for the front door. I’d have felt safer with a person at a front desk or at the door.
