    Neighborhood is a little gritty

    Clean, spacious, comfortable, pretty. I loved the kitchen, full living room and bathtub. Best place I’ve stayed in downtown LA

    I can't fault this place. I mean, you're in DLA, so you're going to see a few homeless people around but they were harmless.

    Highly recommended this hotel to stay in DLA. The security and staff were so friendly and helpful. It had everything we needed, a self-contained unit. The only thing missing was a microwave, but that wasn't a big deal because we didn't need it. We stayed in a queen suite, where my mum slept in the queen bed, and I turned the folding chair into a bed in a separate area that could be closed off to create a separate room. The suite had 2 bathrooms, which was very convenient as we each had our own. It was an 18-minute walk to Crypto Arena and a short distance to grocery stores. There were many restaurants and food trucks nearby. We parked our car on S Olive Street, just a 3-minute walk away, and the parking attendant was lovely. It cost $30 for overnight parking, but we chose this spot because the exit time the next day was 11 am. Thank you, Sonder, for a wonderful stay. We loved it and would definitely stay again.

    Everything is PERFECT. It goes way above my expectations. The kitchen is equipped with everything I need, there’s laundry in the room. The room is very spacious, nicely decorated and beautiful. You can hear the sirens quite loudly but that didn’t bother my sleep. The common space for resting is extraordinary.

    Check in wasn't until 4pm but they did have a luggage storage to store bags and a lounge area to chill. Didn't feel super safe in the surrounding area.

    Room was clean and comfortable, hotel was well equipped and staff were friendly and helpful. Overall loved this hotel!

    A bit noisy during the night because it’s downtown and lots of homeless people are up to something and police sirens don’t stop but that’s why they give you ear plugs haha

    Area is rife with homelessness, obviously beyond the control of Sonder, but worth bearing in mind. The hotel is on a block of West 7th Street currently closed off to traffic and we were not easily able to find it when we arrived at 10 at night. My only criticism is that I would have appreciated a text or email to forewarn me.

    Spacious room with separate living/dining/work spaces. Plenty of communal space/lounge/library and an excellent outdoor area. The essentials cupboard is very much appreciated and extremely useful.

    Shower wasn't great for someone with thick hair, but oh well. The windows were thin and could hear people outside partying late at night, very clearly.

    Bed was super comfy and the room was nice and spacious. Staff was WONDERFUL, had issues with another hotel that messed up my booking so had ot find somewhere new at 11:30pm and Sonder helped me figure out their no contact app right away.

    Good but could be excellent

    - Noise: It is downtown and noise will be an issue. The sound machine and earplugs are very helpful but the Sonder can do a better job such as replacing the old windows with new double pane windows that can block a lot of the street noise. - Light: The blinds are awkward and do not black out light. Better curtains will do. - App: The app and website need work. I was going to book through the Sonder web page because it was $100 cheaper than Booking.com but it would not go through. So I ended up pay more. Also, during the verification process the app was very buggy. - Online customer support: After reaching out to customer support to bring up the web page problems during booking, they essentially told me too bad and they will notify their IT. More specifically, they did not offer to honor the lower price posted on their web page because I booked via Booking.com. I noted that I tried 3 different browsers to book via the Sonder web page but kept getting stuck forcing me to go to a 3rd party page. The response was sorry and will notify IT. - Rules: If you have rules, enforce them. The place says no smoking anywhere even on the outdoor deck yet people were smoking. - AC: I am not sure the AC was working after the first night. Also, it was very loud. Fix it. - Take it easy with the hallway air fresheners because people have allergies and sensitivities to strong smells. - Add on your listing more options for parking since you do not offer onsite parking. I recommend for future visitors Joe's Parking on 812 Grand Ave across from the Whole Foods (over CVS).

    - Location: very central in DTLA, close to bars and restaurants, shopping and the Metro - Facilities: the common areas deck, gym, meditation room and lounge were excellent. Very clean and complete. - Rooms: if you are staying for more than a couple of days these units are perfect. They are fully functional studio apartments where you can cook, do your laundry and comfortably stay longer - Value: beats hotel cost if you consider space and amenities - App use for services was good - Front desk staff always pleasant and helpful

    Staffs at the hall could be nicer. A smile or just greetings feels more welcoming. Some said, mostly not.

    Nothing. It’s gorgeous.

    I can’t recommend this property enough. I booked the king suite, but it was such a great price I had it in my head it was a king room. Nope. I was absolutely gobsmacked at the size of what is essentially a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment. Immaculately clean, with a gorgeous, enormous open plan studio for the main sleeping area. I swear it was designed just for me in the style I love. A large fridge freezer, full washer and dryer. It could’ve used a microwave, but really there were plenty of options for dining in the area. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful to everyone who walked through the door. I got there before my suite was ready so I was directed to the lounge area on the fifth floor. A lovely, huge common area with an outside area. Honestly, everything was amazing about my stay. I will definitely book here again for a longer period when I come to LA again.

    It didn't bother me, but if you're sensitive to noise this location is near busy streets with road noise.

    The location was great! My room had everything I needed to enjoy myself away from home. Loved the motion lights when I walked in at night.

    You can definitely hear everything from the street even from the seventh floor. Wish the room had dish soap and sponge.

    Booked the 2 bedroom, property was clean. Easy to find. The area was not as bad as I expected. Plenty of food trucks for late night eats. Parked in the lots available near by without any problems. The Hilltop Cafe+Kitchen across the street is a great breakfast spot.

    The room we've got on the 3rd floor was really noisy, as the windows were thin and now quite tight. So it really takes some getting use to. Ear plugs were the only way to sleep. Not sure about the rooms on the other floors, though.

    Building and the room are clean and comfortable with a lot of amenities. Check-in and instructions were simple and useful. Friendly staff as well.
