Great location, easy check-in
The location was great and the easy check-in was convenient. The bed was a bit squeaky and loud, but fine comfort wise. I enjoyed the security of the building and that it's attached to a restaurant. Would stay here again.

Convenient, comfortable and clean
The room was great! Clean, thoughtfully decorated and comfortable. The location couldn’t be beat either. Only caveat-there are no live people! And the downstairs restaurant is not officially connected to the rooms but it’s a yummy spot!

Excellent value
Checking in requires the use of an app… no front desk staff… location and price were outstanding… an excellent value. Onsite restaurant and bar ( not affiliated with the hotel) was pleasant as well.

The Queen did not disappoint
I was more than pleasantly surprised to find this hotel in Queens Village. Completely contactless so a wee bit "unwelcoming at first glance"- the room was immaculate, location perfect for me and bed was super comfy. Shower was strong and hot water unlimited. Basic amenities of a Kureig with coffee and a few teas, mini fridge and a few drawers and hangers were suitable for a 3-night stay. Restaurants of every flavor within a few blocks

Fully automated check-in and property access make arrival easy.
Please replace keypad on front door. Numbers are worn off and Bluetooth electronic key doesn't work. Backlit version would be best.

We liked our stay very much. Our room was spacious and clean. The neighborhood is excellent and walkable, with a lot of shops and restaurants. The lack of any staff present was frustrating at times as there were login issues with the app at check in and I had to call customer service to get our building entry code.

It was fine for what it was and the shower was admittedly amazing! The room was also very well stocked, which was VERY good considering I did not actually see a staff member the entire time I was there! There is absolutely NO front desk om the premises! And the checkin process is a long and drawn out, even including a face scan over your phone! Ireally wish I was WARNED of this process prior to booking! Also make absolutly sure you have NO issues with your email because that is the ONLY way you will be able to get the access code to get into your room! No matter what they will not give it to you over the phone, even WITH the face scan and upload of your ID! I now know this from experience! I now understand why I've seen people just standing outside Sonder properties for extended times looking lost. And actually upon my arrival there was a guest who was just sitting in the lobby for 45 minutes completely unable to get into his room despite being on the phone with Sonder staff. People need to ne WARNED of the checkin process prior to booking or at least well in advance of their stay!
