Sonder Rideau is conveniently located! Lots of restaurants and coffee shops in walking distance. Check in instructions were pretty straight forward! Throughout our stay we were in and out a lot and noticed there was a plate of food with meat right at the entrance! Nobody bothered to move it, the unit itself is huge, well lit. The heating can be controlled and it worked. The kitchen was nice, bathroom was spacious. The bed was comfortable, the roku tv worked good! The hallway was nice and the staff was super friendly! The overall building is clean and well maintained! The biggest drawback was the furniture specially the velvet couch and chairs had white drops and stains and gave me an ick with in 3 secs! So we sat on the leather chairs through out our stay, which are good but not for netflix and chilling! And the walls are really thin so there is a lot of noise through out the day right from the morning! They know it too which is why they provided ear plugs right next to your bed! Noise is something you can still work around but the couch and velvet furniture is nasty so if they can change that! I’ll be back cause it spacious and budget friendly!

If you’re expecting a hotel don’t book here. It’s nice but very inconvenient for parking being that the garage was under construction and found out as I tried to park. Not really a hotel. It was comfortable but noisy at 5am with garbage bins being rolling around in the alley way. Also a constant humming noise inside the room probably from the Hvac. I guess the red flag was the ear plugs they provided on the side table.
