We have stayed at 2 NYC Sonder Locations and have been very happy with both. Clean, convenient and comfortable… and affordable! Will stay for future visits.

Anne

The room was big and the bed was comfy! The coffee shop in the lobby was great - a great place to work. And the rooftop bar was cute. I like the area! However, we asked them to clean our room every day and they only did the last day. Getting more towels took forever. the hot water went out right when I needed to shower before an event. The gym was INSANELY hot like unbearable.

Staff was extremely unhelpful and rude. Felt like it could have been racially motivated. I will not be staying here ever again.
