We liked the location, shopping, restaurants, public transportation. Kitchen area was great. Bathroom was a great size. Bathroom door was a slider but didn’t always stay shut.

This properly is in a great location. It is clean and spacious and it has a nice kitchen. There are lots of dining and shopping options nearby. There is a free trolley that runs up and down King Street. We woul definitely stay here again.

We went during spring break. We had not stayed at a property like this before but we were pleasantly surprised. Check in was seamless. You could tell people were about but the halls and rooms were quiet. A white noise machine and earbuds were provided since it is in a busy area -- we didn't need them) When you step outside, King street is at your feet with loads of options. Kitchenette was great for snacks and light breakfast (we mostly made use of the mini fridge and glassware) Great location and value. Would book again.

I wanted to give this stay a better review but the toilet issue tarnished my experience. I support low flow toilets but the toilet in this studio was incredibly difficult and annoying to use. Otherwise the studio has everything you need for a comfortable stay. A bit small if you have large luggage.

Immaculate room, but not for working
Immaculate as always. These was nothing indicating that this was an accessible room; that wasn't actually the direct issue. The direct issue was that there was neither a desk/work table nor a work chair. I was forced to sit on a window sill with my computer balanced on a pillow on the seat of the only (lounge) chair. The bedside lamp and the track lights both flickered constantly whenever they were on. And the coffee machine either didn't work or I couldn't figure out how to make it work.

Cute and comfortable room, easy to get in, nice kitchen. The hvac is very loud with the vent over the bed blasting all night. The hallway strongly smelled like a sewer, luckily that didn’t permeate into the room.

Great location for accessing DC. Near public transit and plenty of shops around for food and other goods. Room was clean and the heater worked well. Nice bathroom. I wasn’t too bothered by the urban noise although my stay was during the week not the weekend. Typical sounds for a city. Bed was comfortable. Would stay here again!

Nice place, but much smaller than pictures portray. Mushy foam bed. One small chair about 12 inches off the floor. No comfortable seating. Range hood sticks out so far, be careful not to hit your head. If you’re 6 foot tall, avoid it. Can’t beat the great location

This was the worst hotel experience I have ever had. There were no lights in the room and no staff available for nearly 72 hours from the time I reported it to fix the issue. I was lied to every time I spoke to the customer service through the required app, who assured me the lights would be fixed, only for nobody to ever show up. I will never stay at another Sonder location, so the $50 Sonder credit per day without power they offered to resolve the issue does nothing for me. I have been an excellent customer at Expedia, and I never have had occasion to complain, but this is unacceptable.

Great location. Enjoyed having a little kitchenette to use. The property also a nice little courtyard area. Most amenities were excellent (including quality soap/shampoo products); main downside was lack of secure luggage storage for those hours after checkout & before it’s time to head to the airport.

Great location, cute studio
Great location, cute little studio. Some reviews said it was noisy but we stayed on a busy weekend and didn’t hear much noise at all. The only hiccup we had was upon checkin - we booked through hotels.com and we didn’t receive checkin instructions until we got there and had to call which was a little frustrating.

Is good place, but the street noise from King st is loud. The windows are old and do little to prevent noise from outside. ear plugs are provided but still get woken up by bar people in the middle of night and garbage truck in morning. Main disappointment was their lack to accommodate a 3 pm check in vs 4 pm. We waited in the courtyard and enjoyed for 30 minutes but they were insisting us paying $50 to check in at 3 pm. Please just accommodate your guests reasonable requests and do not try to nickel and dime people. People hate that.
