Loved this spot! The only negative is that it's a bit loud at night outside, but there's obviously nothing they can control about that - still 5 stars for me.

I had a wonderful stay at the Sonder in Detroit. The space was clean, comfortable, and well-designed, making it easy to relax and feel at home. Everything I needed was within walking distance and the overall experience was smooth and convenient. I look forward to staying at another Sonder in a different city in the future!

Great spot in downtown Detroit

This place was in a great location in downtown Detroit; VERY convenient to the airport bus (it picks up right across the street). The building was very quiet but the streets below got noisy with motorcycles later at night. My white noise app took care of that, though. I felt safe here as a solo female traveler, and it was easy to walk around and access public transit from here too.

I was very misled about this place. The pictures I was shown were not even for this Sonder. It was very dingy and dirty. I felt bad for the receptionist because all they had were complaints and angry guests. The room I rented was not what I got. I paid for a King room and received a Queen sized mattress room. I let the receptionist know but was unable to switch to another room because of occupancy. The elevators were filthy and in desperate need of repairs. The headboard to the bed had a greasy mark from someone’s head. I do not recommend this property to anyone.

Liked: Cleanliness
Inside is amazing super clean and friendly staff. However, you have to pay for overnight parking which is not mentioned till after you pay. The room is basically a whole apartment, even the kitchen was stocked for someone who would stay long term, which was super cool and the views from the windows are so cool too! I give this place a great rating the only thing I think they need to work on is the rickety elevator, it feel like the cords could snap at any moment and it shakes you like as if you or on the tower of terror.

This place is not up to Marriott standards. It wasn't clean and the beginning looks very old. Will never stay again. It is near a bus station and you see homeless people everywhere.

Sonder Hotels are my favorite!

I try to find a Sonder hotel everytime I travel now, nothing beats the quality of the rooms for the price! I joked with family about the washer and dryer and actually had to use it this time around after getting rained on. Glad it was there! The rooms are always spacious and secure.
