The experience at the Sonder in LIC was a glimpse into the future of hotel checkin, no front desk to interface with, so providing your ID and payment, all done thru the app. the rooms were spacious for a NY hotel when comparing it to Manhattan. The room was very accurate to the pictures and presented a very modern spin. Being modern, there was the typical echo in the hallways, although from some prior reviews I expected to be able to hear my neighbor. That was not the case for our experience. Using a 6 digit code to enter the hotel and your room took some getting used to. I arrived at night, so there was only a security guard present, but in the morning there was an attendant. Overall I enjoyed the hotel, the 3 terraces in particular and would stay again
