Listen to the reviews when they say entry is difficult and confusing. We couldn’t get in for about 20 minutes and had to call customer service, who responded fast but changed the code to the wrong keypad. I think they were just as confused as we were.
**TO GET IN:** entry is on gravier, not baronne, when you see the glass door with “300 Baronne” over it with a keypad for entry and you think you’ve made it, keep walking. There’s another door about a yard to the left that’s wooden and also has a keypad. This is where you actually go in.
If you’re traveling alone or with few people, be aware of your surroundings and make sure you have the entrance thing figured out, at least before dark -if you’re concerned for safety. However, it was close to the business district and not really a bad part of New Orleans. That being said, just like anywhere else, be careful.
The rest of the stay was nice. TV was confusing but that could’ve been us. It’s also directly on the street if you’re concerned about noise, and it’s smaller and just overall not as nice as the photos (kind of dark and gloomy, even with the blinds open), no big deal but something to consider if that’s a personal problem. Beds weren’t very comfortable and no windows in the guest room. Again, no big deal.
I wouldn’t put this on the top of my list for New Orleans, if you have a chance to stay somewhere else or a hotel for a similar or slightly more expensive price, I would take some serious consideration.
I’m sure Sonder’s other places are nice.
