Perfectly located in an area with lots to do but few lodging options. Room was spare but comfortable, the code system worked well, the bathroom was well equipped. Would happily return to this Sonder.

It was exactly what I needed, without the expensive frills of other hotels. Clean, quiet and safe. The only thing I missed was access to an ice machine They advertized that there would be a Kettle in the room so i was expecting one. Instead there was a Keurig which wasn't as easy to use for food prep.

The room was great. Location was walkable to many historic sites, restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops. The only issue was finding parking and the closet lot we could find was several block away, which made unloading and losing our luggage difficult.

The only issue we had was getting the code to work on the elevators and stairwells at times. We encountered other guests with the same issue. The room and hotel were very clean. The hotel has a very contemporary feel, which we appreciated. I would definitely stay at another Sonder hotel again.
