Overall this was a nice hotel. We had a studio. The bathroom felt oddly conspicuous, just frosted glass walls separating that part of the room from the rest, but otherwise it was nice. It did feel a little disconcerting being fully self-service but we knew that was the arrangement when we reserved the room so I can't really complain about that. All in all, it was a very clean, adequate space at a good price. Would stay there again.

This Sonder location has a lot of work that needs to be done. Paint was chipping off the ceiling and the window seals. There were no hand or face towels. I had to go over to the Ross to purchase so faced so I can wash my face and body. The television streaming apps did not work. And because the building is so old the smell. There really needs to be some really deep cleaning done. And probably the worst of it all is that all of the linen were in totes Along the walls in the hallway. It was just not a well kept space. The perks however, are that the community is walkable. You can get good dining options and shopping options and it’s not far From a waterway that has other dining options, as well.

Be Prepared!
I thought that I had pre-registered my details on the Sonder app. I hadn't completed it fully before my arrival, as a condequence, I never received the email with access codes to get into the building and with no reception or staff on site that was an issue! I managed to resolve this after about an hour and was pleasantly surprised by the appartment, which was spacious and clean, perfect for a couple, however it would start to feel quite cosy for 4 adults. Great location for shops restuarants and bars. Would I stay there again - yes!

Cool little efficiency apartment on King Street.
This is a really fun location right on King street. Highly recommend. The room is like an efficiency apartment, very cool. We just used the fridge but there is cookware and glass cups. It is a homey kind of feel. We used the dishes and used the sink for daily washing. This apartment is right in the middle of a busy street. So it is pretty lively until after midnight. Just know that going in. I loved it, some may not. OK Sonder the booking experience. I have read reddit reviews. This is a model where there is no front desk. So, it is very critical that you read the check in e-mail very carefully. Do your check in as soon as you book your room. I cannot stress this enough. check in requires uploads and verifications. Once complete you will get a conformation e-mail. Two days prior to our visit we received our door codes. For us everything went very smoothly. Love the location, super fun town center. Very easy to the National Mall - 15 minutes MAX. We did 4 museums in 3 days and still had time to got out in the evening on King street. Murphy Irish pub is basically right next door. Super fun with live music great Irish pub fare and super convienent. I parked at 418 Cameron St - Tavern Sq. Overnight parking - $11 during the week, $5 on the weekend.

This properly is in a great location. It is clean and spacious and it has a nice kitchen. There are lots of dining and shopping options nearby. There is a free trolley that runs up and down King Street. We woul definitely stay here again.

We went during spring break. We had not stayed at a property like this before but we were pleasantly surprised. Check in was seamless. You could tell people were about but the halls and rooms were quiet. A white noise machine and earbuds were provided since it is in a busy area -- we didn't need them) When you step outside, King street is at your feet with loads of options. Kitchenette was great for snacks and light breakfast (we mostly made use of the mini fridge and glassware) Great location and value. Would book again.

Liked: Cleanliness
It was clean and the bed was comfortable. Location was fabulous and I loved being able to check in and out remotely and independently. There were areas that seemed simple to make better in the room - for example, nowhere to put my toiletries in the shower, no toilet seat cover, very limited space to hang anything, I had to dig under the bed to find a way to plug in my phone, the area rug was all sideways and crooked which felt unkempt. The room and building were very old which I guess is to be expected in this area. Room felt pretty dark. There is a full kitchenette yet nowhere to sit - I could bake a cake but would need to sit on the bed to eat it! It was quite noisy between the airplanes flying low overhead, the other guest rooms water pipes, and the in room rattly hvac but they did leave earplugs which was thoughtful. All in all it got the job done but I think I expected something a little brighter and fresher.

I wanted to give this stay a better review but the toilet issue tarnished my experience. I support low flow toilets but the toilet in this studio was incredibly difficult and annoying to use. Otherwise the studio has everything you need for a comfortable stay. A bit small if you have large luggage.

Immaculate room, but not for working
Immaculate as always. These was nothing indicating that this was an accessible room; that wasn't actually the direct issue. The direct issue was that there was neither a desk/work table nor a work chair. I was forced to sit on a window sill with my computer balanced on a pillow on the seat of the only (lounge) chair. The bedside lamp and the track lights both flickered constantly whenever they were on. And the coffee machine either didn't work or I couldn't figure out how to make it work.
