Good but not great…
Loved the location and the fact that the unit came with a free parking spot. That said, the code we were given to enter the building wasn’t working. Luckily someone let us in and we were able to access the unit. Once in the unit, the bedding was clean but the windows had hand prints on them and were streaky. The TV did not work. Our worst complaint was the fire alarm testing the first morning we were there. We did receive notification of the testing but it was after the cancellation period had passed. It would have been better if it was conducted in the afternoon vs beginning at 9am in the morning as it lasted for several hours.

Long story short. The building is classy, but the room was very meh. Sheets didn't fit the bed, shower had dark mold on the grout, the patio screen door was a mess and the ceiling fan had issues.

Fabulous location! We walked everywhere. All the different codes were a little confusing at first but we got the hang of it eventually. Especially the main door code - it says to push pound after the code but there was no pound option. Someone is always at the front desk to buzz you in so it worked out ok. Overall a very pleasant stay and we’d definitely book here again!

Austin Skyline Luxury
Beautiful property in a chic building. Stayed here with a co-worker to attend a conference at the Hyatt Regency next door. The condo was beautiful - just as shown in the pictures. And the views of the city and river were fantastic! Sonder was quick to reply to any inquiries I had and the check-in was simple. The large tubs in the bath are very high (great for soaking) but without any grab bars, they might be a challenge for less nimble people to get in and out of. However there is a great stand-alone walk-in shower in the master bathroom.

I wasn’t able to get in my unit. None of the codes worked, and the concierge couldn’t help bc they weren’t affiliated with Sonder. They had to cancel my reservation while I was stranded at the place at 2am. I was luckily able to walk down the street to Hyatt. They gave a refund, but we’re no help in having to pay for a last minute hotel. I would suggest NOT booking a place through Sonder
