I don't have any real complaints about the hotel, room or any of the facilities. Everything went as planned and without issues. My room was spacious, clean and comfortable. I would consider staying here again for business travel. The area is not the best and it shows, it is a little sketchy and you need to be aware of your surroundings, especially as you enter or exit the facility. This is outside the control of the hotel, but it should be considered if you have family traveling with you. The hotel has good safety measures in place and controlled entry, which is nice. Overall I will stay here again and recommend it for individual business travel.

Only complaints would be no restroom for guests in the lobby. Could not check in until 4pm but was not allowed to use restroom from cleaning staff who could not speak English. Used translator and they wouldn't allow myself to use a restroom; frustrating. Lastly, cleanliness wise, hallways had a funky smell like poor air circulation and old garbage accumulated.

Stayed here with my family for 3 days. The quality of the apartment is good and has everything you possibly might need during your stay. However, a few things: 1. Washroom door is so squeaky, it probably can be heard from another floor. 2. At night, extremely loud because of the pipes that are on the ceiling throughout the whole apartment - so loud that it’s absolutely impossible to sleep. 3. Fridge door was broken. As much as the location was good, close to different parkings, and the apartment overall was nice, will not be staying again, solely because of the bad impression based on the above mentioned points.

I love the location, self-check-in, and full kitchens, but there is zero insulation between rooms, so if you happen to have neighbors, it is very loud.

This place was great. Super close to the Blue L Line to/from Ohare was a snap. Right on the edge of the Loop so very walkable and was so safe feeling.

Location was great for easily jumping onto the blue line at Clinton. Grocery stores are about a 15 minute walk away. Great spot for folks catching a train at Union Station and the in unit laundry was a nice touch. Bed linens were a little scratchy. Even with that, would definitely stay here again.

The unit itself was cute and clean but the lack of on-site staff and lack of ability for them to take care of any actual physical issues became a big problem for me. The all virtual model is convenient if you have courteous neighbors, but I did not unfortunately, and the Sonder staff was incapable of doing anything to resolve the issue despite their own house rules.

The property was great, physically, but I was blindsided by the lack of a physical interface with a concierge or manager. Everything had to be done by smartphone to register and even to gain access to the building, in a slightly dicey neighborhood. What if I wasn’t smart phone literate? We would have been screwed.

HORRIBLE

Room was disgusting, TV didn’t work, door lock didn’t work. Pictures on the website are VERY different than the actual property. The water damage ABOVE the bed was a health hazard. Ended up not even staying and ending our trip early. Very disappointed in this property and very upset that a lot of our money was wasted. Tried calling the number and the guy who picked up seemed like he didn’t care at all.
