DO NOT RECOMMEND Property was dirty - floors unclean in the apartment socks turned black - blinds damaged - broken glassware in the cupboards. Location was good. Despite paying in full via Expedia Sonder debited twice the fee supposedly for incidentals - one debited day of check-in once at day of check-out. This is unacceptable and is unauthorised use of my credit card. Will never stay at a Sonder again and would NOT recommend.

Overall it was very comfortable. A few small things need to be fixed, for example the toilet paper and towel holders in the bathroom were loose and coming out of the walls (they were installed without the required set screws). And when the bedroom door was closed the whole place shook (because it needs a little felt thing so it doesn't hit wood directly on metal). But suite was large and had everything.

Sonder is in a great location. Very central and easily accessible. My family and I (4 of us) were able to walk to nearby places very easily. It is very disappointing that there is no onsite parking. However, we used “Spot Hero” and landed a very nice and cheap garage where we left our SUV and had no problems. It was a quick 8 minute walk to Sonder. Once we got there we realized I never got an email with the check-in instructions so I tried to speak to the virtual agent and could not get responses or ahold of anyone. Outside of the doors there is a keypad with a phone number that you can call to be let in the building. I called that number (no one answered) but a gentleman came to the door and checked us in at the front desk. Once inside, it smelled strongly of bleach and other cleaning products. Everything was nice and tidy and the view was spectacular to Michigan ave. The reason I’m not giving it a higher review is because the apartment itself was full of stained and scratched walls, the bed sheets and duvet covers were stained and had hair on them. One of our bath towels was also stained. I think the unit could use a paint job and a change of bedding.

We stay there because it was walking distance from Ford Field. The property was clean and safe. We would definitely stay there again. The city views were amazing.

Beautiful apartment building turned into hotel that was about 20 min walk to Comerica Park. The only negative comment I have is that there is no parking to which we still had to pay to park at the transit. We booked this hotel to walk to the Tigers game & avoid parking but we still had to pay for parking. *TIP!! Do not park in front of the building!! Wasn’t even 10 min we checked in & received a parking ticket!

Do not trust Sonder

Sonder canceled my reservation 1 day prior to my reservation. I had flights and baseball tickets in Detroit. I had to scramble to get a room. I am very disappointed that Hotels.com contracts with property owners that do not honor their obligations.
