In speaking with a customer service rep, he was able to book me for my next stay but failed to assist me with a courtesy late checkout. In short, he kept telling me that there was nothing that he could do for me when in fact in the past a customer service rep was able to inquire if this was possible.
To provide a bit of the backstory - I initially booked with Expedia and then booked an additional stay with Sonder (same unit etc.) Considering that I would be staying in the same unit (but just had to book through Sonder vs Expedia) I asked for a late courtesy check out which he was "unable to provide" but proceeded to inform me that I could pay for a late checkout via the app.
As a frequent customer of Sonder (via multiple cities), I was extremely disappointed with this interaction. Especially given towards the end of the call he became frustrated with me, stating "I know how to do my job". This is unpleasant behavior and I hope that this is not the Sonder standard. Given this experience, this does not make me feel comfortable to continue to book with Sonder whether it's for work or simply for a getaway. It's becoming less of an enjoyable experience.
Property location is nice, located in an area that you can walk to the main dining options in downtown Detroit, as well as the three stadiums. Would stay here again.

Autorama Stay
The Sonder Gabriel Richard is a great place to stay in downtown Detroit. The apartment was spacious and had all the amenities you would need for a longer stay. Comfortable bed and very nice kitchen. I would highly recommend staying here if you’re coming to Detroit!
The unit was not fully clean upon arrival, no towels or sheets for the pullout. The “Essentials” room was literally just drywall - a construction site. Tv didn’t work (couldn’t connect). Initial appearance of the unit was ok but overall the experience was poor.
