3BR apt only had a love seat in living room. Insufficient seating for number of guests. Sheets were stiff and felt like plastic. Bedroom doors squeaking when opened enough to awaken guests when opened. TV kept reverting to screen saver screen during network TV viewing. No luggage storage on site. No drawers to hold clothing. Had to live out suitcases. Stayed at Sonder 21 in Nashville previously, really liked that one.

No windows in the bedrooms, no closets in the unit, no towels at the pool, and not a great stay. Everything else was good.

Comfortable and nice, but thin walls.
The hotel itself was nice overall, clean and good location. We were happy with the actual space. Our biggest problem was the very thin walls! We had read reviews about this but did not expect it to be as bad as it was. We would consider staying again, but would bring noise machines.

Wouldn't Do Again
The walls are super thin, so all night could hear people coming and going in the halls. The 3 bedroom felt cramped, and there definitely wasn't enough seating outside in the living area for us all. When we asked for extra towels, we were told to run a load of laundry.

We enjoyed spreading out in the three rooms. Washer/dryer was a nice thing to have. Interesting decor. Room was right by elevator and people were pretty noisy coming in and out all night until the morning.

Absolutely Taken Advantage of!!
Unfortunately we were extremely price gauged due to the Superbowl. The pictures listed online were so far from what the property actually looks like in person. There was vomit on the elevator rug when we arrived and the hallway is overpowered with the smell of pinesol… we feel absolutely taken advantage of for the price we paid for the weekend. We assumed this would be a fun vintage/modern suite and in actuality, was an old building cheaply converted into used and abused motel quality rooms at best. I never complain, much less leave bad reviews, but this was such a scam and absolutely disappointing experience I felt compelled to speak up so others don’t get swindled to stay here!!

Super Bowl trip
Overall experience and location were wonderful. However, needed dressers and/or storage, couch super uncomfortable (needed pillows), need to be aboe to wat h local programming- streaming doesn’t cut it! On a positive note, loved the access to extra accoutrements like TP, etc. right out in the hallway.

It was an okay stay. 1. There was a huge construction in front. It wasn’t noisy but it was inconvenient as you have to walk around the construction. 2. The locks don’t work 100%, it finicky. 3. One of The rooms was not cleaned. They refunded the early checking hut it was such a hassle.
4. Pillow was too thigh. I had a neck and shoulder pain and the pillow wasn’t restful.
5. Chairs and tables were not stable.
6. Sofa was not too stable. It kept moving on uneven surface of the floor.
Suggestions: consider adding a full sized mirror in the bathroom or any area.

Birthday celebrations.
I stayed to celebrate birthdays within my family. The location was close to restaurants and attractions. We were 2 blocksaway from Bourbon Street. The living space was clean and spacious.
