Outdated, dirty
Dirty, outdated, overall disappointing stay. I’ve stayed in different Sonder locations so I was quite shocked at the poor conditions of The William. I originally booked (and paid) an early check-in for a double bed room, just for the front desk to tell us the room wasn’t available as we went to check in. Instead, they put us in two separate rooms, which were able to enter 1.5 hours after our scheduled check in time. They still tried to charge us for the early check-in fee despite not respecting our early check in request!!!! After some back and forth, they finally agreed to refund me but that whole interaction was so demeaning and condescending. Elevators are super slow too.

So much space!!!
The William was great! I thought the contactless check in would be strange, but was actually super convenient. Our room was huge, especially for nyc! Fully appointed kitchen with 2 burners, full cookware and dishes, mini fridge, microwave, sink and coffee machine was amazing! We cooked our own breakfast every morning. Bed was comfy and smart TVs worked great. Shower drained really slow, that was the only negative. Loved the overall boutique feel of the hotel. Location was walkable to several different subway stations, grocery, coffee. Just loved our stay!

If you have a problem you are on your own...
Spent two days here, had a major issue each day, ended up leaving to go to another hotel. The hotel is mostly run by their app.  My first night the app could not open my door, which kept me locked out for half hour while trying to get help via the app as all hotel staff is gone late night. After 20 mins on chat the online rep was not able to help me figure out the problem with the mobile key not working and the pin pad entry code alternative not working either. They left the chat telling me to find staff on property, which as part Sonder model... There is no nighttime staff on property. Remained locked out until I figured out the app key error deactivates pinpad use and locks it. The next day I find the toilet that had not worked well from the start was now totally blocked. I spent next hour trying to get help from chat, (where rep literally stopped responding when I pointed out if they could not fix the toilet they needed to reimburse for room) then phone and on site staff, was hilariously offered a late check out (but no solution to a room with no working toilet and told to use lobby four floors down, or move to a hotel far away from location where there is not subway on east river. ) Paid for second hotel around the corner.

We loved the William! Staff was very cool and helpful. We loved the Raines Law room bar - great vibe and excellent cocktails. The hotel rooms are huge by NYC standards, and we were 20 minutes from anywhere we wanted to go. We will be back!

It was great. I strongly suggest getting the kitchenette. We were able to cook and relax. Tv didn’t work in one room but we didn’t watch enough anyway. Bar downstairs and the bar further downstairs seemed cool but we didn’t go. If you go stay here tell them I said hello!

This was a disappointing stay. I booked a room that was supposed to have a separate dining area and it did not. I was given a basic room that was tiny. The bed took up most of the room. The balcony was a shared balcony and had 1 plastic chair. No hangers in the closet making it virtually unusable. We had to be creative about where we put our things. The bathroom was clearly renovated but the shower only had a half wall making a watery mess every time we showered. Not enough towels available from the hotel too. The room was clean but pretty worn. Not at all what I expected for a 4 star hotel at nearly $400/night.

If you can stay in a room that has a kitchen you can save a lot of money by using the nearby supermarkets and preparing your own meals. Great location.

Sonder the William
The hotel location is extraordinary, a 5 minute walk to Grand Central, and about 15 minute to several major attractions. The neighborhood is nice, and has many shops nearby. The hotel was clean and comfortable, although the rooms are very small as you would expect in New York. One thing I didn't like is that cleaning services were not included. The bar at the hotel seems to be very popular amongst locals, and it was always busy.

The location was great. It’s near everything. The outside hotel area had planters with plants missing from having recently been pulled out. The plants and their mulch were scattered across the sidewalk creating debris and muck. It was thete before we arrived and not cleaned up until the middle of our third day. The stairs to hotel were very steep, high, and uneven…bordering on dangerous. Must be strong and agile to lift your luggage up… no available street level accessibility. Upon entering, while likely an impressive building, the halls were very dark and the beautiful side rooms (parlors) were essentially hidden and seemed inaccessible. there were two locked hall entrance doors to out floor “A” and “B”. “B” locked as intended. “A” did not. The latch was slightly off so that even though the handle was in a locked position, the door could be easily pushed open. Hall and room locks are opened with a 9 digit code, which was a good idea. However, lighting was so poor it was hard to see the face of the lock and therefore often took multiple attempts to open. The bedroom was large and comfortable. Had double beds, could have easily fit queens. Kitchen was well equipped, possibly over equipped, except no microwave. Bathrooms were short towels, but staff quickly corrected that. Staff was pleasant and helpful when needed, but as intended scarce. The bar required reservations even for hotel guests. Despite a restaurant in the lower level, there was no room service.
