A millenial dream. Love that it's so easy to check in/check out by just using an app and receiving a door code. There are staff at the front of you really need them, and are wonderful when you do. Room was huge, beautiful, functional. Will always choose a Sonder when it's an option.

It was very nice having amenities in your room for coffee and a kitchenette. Also there was laundry machines on each floor, if you need them. Perfect location, we walked everywhere.

great place if you want a bit more accomodation for a stay, gives you about everything youd need in a kitchen to cook food and has great furniture, I'd like to see a bit less empty walls or maybe a wall mounted tv instead of it being so low to the floor, the high ceiling definitely make it feel empty when you're travelling solo for work. Amazing cafe and restaurant inside, definitely feels like a premium place without breaking your bank!
