We were pleasantly surprised with Sonder. The check in process was smooth and in a nice area. It is very close to a liquor store; there were clusters of people hanging outside it a few times when we were trying to get back to the room. However, it wasn’t horrible and by the time we were inside it was very quiet. About a 20 min walk to downtown and close to Stanley Park. Bed is a bit stiff but other than that, definitely recommend!
