The Sonder is an affordable stay for travelers. The apartment was large, clean and comfortable. I found it to be entirely satisfactory and would recommend it for the comfort of the bed and the size of the space Entering the building requried a a keypad and people could enter after one another without any issue. In this respect, it is like a hotel or apartment building. The elevator was quick and responsive. The only complaint was the location. The Sonder is

Very disappointing!!! The property is located in a street where there were always characters slumbering just meters away. The experience was unnerving. The property was not well maintained. The room was spacious enough but not well presented. Some towels and sheets had stains on. The floor and surfaces were dusty. The rugs were thin and a tripping hazard. Walls were thin. We could hear flushing toilets from neighbouring rooms from time to time through the night.

It is an old building that has been refurbished, with squeaky floors, noisy elevators. However, once in the room, we Love the high ceiling and spacious room. Overall it was okay and worth the money paid. Right outside the property are some folks who look like they’re homeless, but they did not bother us. There’s a general store across the street beside the Westin and some restaurants that are within walking distance (5-15 min walk), and there is a free people mover station nearby as well.

I liked the location of the property but the immediate outside area is a little run down and could be perceived as a little sketchy. You are walking distance to almost everything. The room was a nice size. The lobby area needs a little TLC. But no issues and no drama. Would stay there again.

The room was great - large, clean, and well supplied. The elevator was dirty and only 1 out of 4 lights were working so it felt dingy. The elevator ceiling panels weren’t in place and it looked like work needed to be done to repair them. I would stay there again, but the common areas need some love.

This is made for teens, not for mature adults with careers. Dorm room type stay. This property was beneath our standards, smelled like a sweaty gym bag, poor quality furnituring. This is good for a quick last resort for Downtown Detroit commuting. Building not secure, anyone can walk in (without code if someone is exiting). Lack of parking unless you want to pay $30 across the street at a different hotel. Peddlers standing outside of building. Conceptionally ideal, realistically not ideal for us.

Let's Hope For A Better Stay Next Time

This was my 3rd time staying here, and usually I am very pleased with my stay, but this time I was not. Our sheets were not clean, nor were the utensils as there were chunks of food still stuck to them. The bathroom was also unclean and so was the kitchen sink. There was mold inside of the washer and me and my wife spent the first few hours of our stay cleaning and sanitizing. The wifi wasn't working for about 5 hours, so we could not use the television in the room. I also requested towels and pillows at the front desk and no one ever brought them to us. We were there for 3 days/2 nights and no one brought them up. We noticed bugs as well during our stay, which was a first for us.

Lovely staff icky shoddy renovations

Having stayed at a Sonder property in Montreal this location leaves much to be desired and did meet expectations regarding the time and effort put into the renovation and repairs of the spaces. Every staff member we encountered were kind and warm so this truly isn’t anything those working here could address. Rather it has to do with how run down and tired the hotel felt visually both internally and externally. The bed was clean and comfortable but waking up to the actual space was a let down and didn’t feel like a place I’d want to relax in.

When booking I wish we would have known that there’s no desk staff so you check in online and have to type in codes to enter the hotel and your room. We were going to inquire about checking in an hour early (ok if we couldn’t!) but there was no one to ask. The room was ok but there was no hot water at the bathroom sink, it was HOT and turning the thermostat down did nothing. There is no hotel bar or anything - that one is our fault for not checking! Overall, meh.

Great location for being close to fun, very loud

Honestly, we love how close the location is to the downtown area and how easy it is to get around by scooter. This stay however, we had a few issues. 1. The noises from the hallway from the bedroom are extremely loud, we coukd hear everytime someone opened a door and slammed it, people yelling in the hallway etc. Idk if it was just the top floor but it was noisy every morning while we were still trying to sleep in. 2. On the last night, I think the smoke alarm was low on battery and kept making a chirping noise, couldnt tell if it was ours or the unit next to us. 3. We could hear cars racing down the street all night like the windows were wide open, even they they were closed. Its like all of the walls even the outside is made of paper, I could hear everything that was happening outside of our unit. 4. The internet went out on the last day which was kind of annoying for trying to plan things and watch tv, but i guess we cant control the internet companies outages. What we love about the unit is that there is a washer dryer and full kitchen which is amazing for an extended trip, i was able to get our laundry done before leaving and have almost no clothes to wash getting home. The location was great for getting to what we wanted to do, scooters were almost always within a block or 2 walk. Starbucks is kiddie corner and parking is $5 less a night when mentioning Sonder. Very close parking lot as well. Would stay again for the price but hope for a less noisy floor.
