Great birthday weekend stay!
Pros: We liked the self check in for the Sonder, really enjoyed the layout of the room and loved having our own kitchen and full sized fridge for our stay and you can’t beat the location. The Sonder team was great at responding to requests via chat; they allowed us to check in 3 hours early (their standard 4pm time is quite late especially when you fly in in the morning) for a flat $25, brought us more pillows since the ones in the unit were super flat and very uncomfortable (the second round was a bit better but still not great).
Cons: as stated by other reviewers, the walls are veryyyy thin and you can hear everything. But it seems like the Sonder team is aware and trying to mitigate it, they already had two sets of ear plugs and a white noise machine in the unit which helped and we really appreciated that touch! Also the bed linens could use upgrading, they weren’t bad per se, just not hotel grade. Same with the toilet paper, I’ve had softer TP in public restrooms haha.
The ease of access and touch of style and attention to detail was very nice. They even left a hand written welcome note with a local soda on the doorstep, what a sweet touch! Even with the few cons, I would definitely consider staying in a Sonder property again. Thanks again!
