There was no bracelets for pool we had to phone and we never did get housecoats. Every day our wifi would go down for 3 or 4 hrs. We were dissappointed we didnt get the same apartment we had requested as we didnt have any sun on the balcony were we ended up.

I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in a hotel where you have to pay for housekeeping. I certainly don’t need it every day but I also don’t think I should be charged for it; especially if that is not made clear at the time of booking. Also the preset temp for the a/c kept the room quite warm at night.

Really enjoyed our stay! The place was clean and exactly as advertised. The Sonder app was super easy to use. We drove everywhere so not really sure about what’s around but seems to be in a decent area and walkable.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a Sonder property, and it was an incredibly pleasant experience. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by how spacious and well-designed the room was. The layout was perfect, with plenty of room to spread out, yet still cozy enough to feel like a home away from home. The bed was especially comfortable, and the high ceilings and large windows added to the airy, open feel. One of the standout features for me was how quiet it was. Despite being in a vibrant area, the hotel was incredibly peaceful—perfect for a restful night after a long day of sightseeing. The soundproofing between rooms seemed top-notch, and I never once heard noise from the hallways or neighboring rooms, which is always a huge plus. The overall vibe of the hotel was modern and stylish, with minimalist decor that created a calm, uncluttered environment. It didn’t feel sterile like some chain hotels; instead, it had a welcoming, lived-in quality that made me feel relaxed and at ease. In addition to the comfort of the room, the hotel’s location was ideal, with plenty of nearby restaurants, cafes, and shops. The self-check-in process was smooth and easy, and I appreciated the flexibility that came with not having to rely on traditional hotel staff. All in all, my stay at Sonder was a great one. It was quiet, roomy, and nice in all the right ways. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, hassle-free experience.

The concierge was top notch. They helped me organize a surprise for my girlfriend’s bday. The room could have been dusted a bit better but everything else was good. The pool was amazing along with the rec room area.

Great apartment and fabulous rooftop pool with bbqs for use, plenty of comfortable seating, and beautiful sunset views. The wifi went out one of the days I was there which can happen but was quite problematic as I couldn't get in touch with Sonder to advise without it so had to go to a resto for wifi. Might be good to have a back up plan for guests (e.g. portable wifi device) knowing that other guests may also not pay roaming fees or use cell phones while travelling. But overall a great apartment and stay. Central Records was an impressive music/bar space a 2 min walk away and different than the other usual brew pub spaces also close by.

This was a spacious, quiet condo. Located in a great location. The amenities were amazing. I would have liked cable tv, but understand why it wasn’t an option. The furniture was okay, just not all that comfortable. The interactions with other people in the building was positive. All in all, a wonderful place to stay.

Very noisy in our suite due to the door to the balcony not sealing very well and a train running right below our room all night. We knew it wasn’t a good sign when we first went in the room and found that they had left earplugs on the nightstand for us. The suite and balcony were very nice, but we slept like garbage even with the earplugs and can’t recommend staying here for that reason.
