I wanted to love it, but it missed the mark for us. We anticipated it being noisy (we were expecting loud music and drunken tourists), but in addition to that we had a nightly 3-4AM wake up call from the neighboring hotel (Omni Hotel) and their back of house dumpster routine. It was literally every night of our stay for almost an hour of loud banging, glass shattering, and garbage truck ruckus. Not Sonder’s fault at all, but my husband and I felt exhausted every day of our stay due to this; so, consider that when booking the space. The room was also in desperate need of a deep clean. It looked like everything was quickly wiped down and that’s about it. Our luggage went under the bed and pulled out dust bunnies with it, the bathroom floor was stained (looked like someone had been murdered there, and we made a joke of it but we were both disturbed); my husband and I felt like we needed shoes at all times just to keep our feet clean in the apartment.
I gave it 3 stars still because the convenience of location was amazing, keyless check in process was flawless, and they had a code-accessible luggage storage which was very handy for the day of our check out. We also enjoyed the cute little patio, although most of our view was the back of house of Omni Hotel so it wasn’t a sight to see.
I wouldn’t stay here again if we revisit New Orleans.
