It was quiet and convenient to where I wanted to be. Very much like an AirBNB ~ no on-site services.

I could not believe how spacious our room was! Combined with the vaulted ceilings, the room felt ENORMOUS! The bed was beyond comfortable and supplied with ample & equally comfortable pillows and warm bedding. Everything about the space was thoughtfully considered, from the level of lighting and options by space, placement of the furnishings, to the clever appointments (art books that were more than just decor). The lobby area was equally as thoughtfully appointed, including complimentary luggage storage lockers that blended into the decor. This simple and thoughtful feature allowed us to check out on time without having to tote our luggage around town with us before our flight home. The hotel, although deep in the heart of the city, was safe and easy to access in entry and exit. The restaurants located in the same building and within steps on either side, were exceptional and delightfully different in cuisine and clientele. It was an all around excellent experience for us during our stay. I would go back in a heartbeat, and I seek out Sonder hotels whenever I make travel plans now.

Love the idea of remote check in and getting a code. Didn't need anything during the stay. Would have loved some vending machines though, so it might be nice to add that to the lounge area.

We really enjoyed our 3 night stay at this lovely boutique hotel. Our king room was spacious, comfortable and clean. We could easily walk to all popular Philadelphia attractions (City Hall, Art Museum, Liberty Bell, Pats and Genos) within 30 minutes or less. The neighbourhood felt safe and there were a lot of restaurants and pubs close by. Also very easy to take the subway to the sporting complexes. I would absolutely stay here again!

Very clean and quiet. Every other guest we encountered was so nice. It’s a unique stay as you keypad yourself in and out so you don’t encounter staff at the hotel. We had a wonderful experience. There was HDMI Doris to stream our own movies off a laptop for that true at home experience. Dining couldn’t be better. Literally Little Nonna’s is the BEST Italian you could ask for and the same owners own Bud and Marilyn’s and BOTH are right downstairs. Other great places are very walkable or drives Le within such a short distance it’s insane. We even did Chinatown one night. You will not regret a stay here. It’s comfortable. We even had a concert violinist stay next door and were serenaded one day- how cool is that? I will be staying there again next month.

It was a convenient location as everything was near by, but also noisy. It is built over a subway. Out of their control but a lot of homeless. There was no concierge and no vending machines for extra items such as drinks. Also everything was stained, towels & blankets. A little gross considering the price you pay for the hotel.
