No Television
The television worked the first day but not the second day. My husband did get itto work for a while on the third day before it completely stop working. I did contact them initially thinking the remote needed batteries. We did get batteries but when i contacted them to them know that a technician was needed i heard nothing from them.i probably won't be staying with this company again.

Great room with kitchenware. Rooftop was great. Walls a bit thin, could hear people next door. Otherwise great stay. No front desk but communication was easy to follow. Parking is hard, would recommend staying at long term parking in near by target. About 10 minute walk to stay.

When booking sonder properties through Expedia it should clearly state before you check it out or book it or anything that you will need to do a separate verification process after I got the confirmation mail and text from Expedia. That’s Usually, I check until the day of my check-in Needless to say check-in was terrible my wife and my daughter were at the hotel so I checked the email to see what the code is cause usually that’s how it’s delivered but first I checked Expedia code but email from Sonder saying I have to register and my wife wasn’t with me. She was already there so no trying to register my stuff and then her stuff 50 miles away was a terrible we didn’t get into the place for after three hours. Put a damper on my daughter’s birthday. It was horrible. Having a person to handle check-in is way faster and easier than checking on yourself, especially if you have to download an app and register

Bad experience
The kitchen was well appointed & there was even laundry detergent. There was soap, shampoo, & conditioner, too. The bed was uncomfortable. The pull out couch was broken & the couch cushion zipper was broken. My son had to sleep on the floor because pullout couch was so uncomfortable. On the website, it said covered parking for a fee of $25, which is not the case. We had to park at Olde City Garage for $35/day & it was a long walk with all of our bags. We tried to request an early check-in, but that is literally not an option on the app. We got there 7 minutes before 4:00pm & the door would not open until exactly 4:00pm even though there was nobody in that room. I will not book again with Sonder.

I enjoyed my time in the city, and this apartment/hotel was located in a great spot. They didn't offer housekeeping services, and the walls are very thin. But the location was great. Would rebook.

Excellent place to stay with everything one needs for a long or a short stay. Super fast WiFi and a new smart TV were most welcome. The place was very clean and was most comfortable. We found some great eating spots just a five minutes walk (try Race St Cafe or Khyber Pass) and parking was just two blocks away and we felt at $30:00 a day a fair value.

It was a lovely stay. Had a little issue with the tv not connecting to the internet the night I arrived but I used the chat in the app and they were able to resolve overnight. Two things would have made my stay better; if I was not on the ground floor and if there was a bit more room or a shelf in the bathroom as there was no where to put my toiletry bag. I was working in my room during the day and didn't feel comfortable having the shades open for people to see in. The washer and dryer in the room was also a nice amenity.

The facilities was in a perfect location close to good restaurants and transportation. The entry was secured, had an elevator, and the place was clean and ready when I arrived. Property manager responsed to my inquiries immediately.

It made me and my boyfriend field like we lived there, felt very homie and specious, had a parking garage a block away from it, located next to the train and a 10-15 minute walk to all local business and access to a lot of the historic sites located in Philly. Would definitely recommend and already planning my next trip but this time in another Sonder location. Better than staying in a hotel. Full kitchen and washer and dryer machines, equipped with smart tv, open concept and very very clean.

4/10 Fair

The room came with ear plugs, seriously! There were two pairs near each bed, and bed time it became abundantly clear why that was the case. I wish the property description mentioned that we were being placed right next to a busy street with overnight traffic/noise. Also checking in and parking are a bit more work than a typical hotel, and no lobby/desk to help out in case of needed help. Overnight parking is at least $25, and one has to go figure it out. Rooms are smaller (and taller to compensate) than it appeared in the picture.
