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.

Property team was great and location perfect! Room was ok, smaller than expected, not the cleanest, best amenity was the washer dryer. Lacked amenities in bathroom and general expected areas. Pool, although not advertised, was not heated, hot tub didnt work, nor towels provided. Great communication with property management, we only staying one of our three nights.

This was the perfect place to stay. We had a 3 night stay over the holidays, and it was refreshing not to have to worry about parking our car on the street (or a publicly accessible lot). Very clean, and easy to get comfy in. I would definitely stay again, and would easily recommend this over normal hotels in the area. Sonder wins, hands down.

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 liked the proximity to DT and light rail. Pool area nice although not noted in rental information that it wasn't heated and could not use. Property needs a little maintenance - sink in bathroom drains very slow, walls scuffed and dirty and please replace only fry pan was so warped I could not cook eggs. Did feel safe and liked view and balcony on property

Room smelled horrible. Like trash and sewage. Loud construction across the street. TV only uses chromecast, they didnt feel it was necessary to communicate that. The sheets on the bed have to be the cheapeast polyester hospital like. Even the toilet paper holder is broken. Not worth the $$
