Wonderful weekend away

Cumbersome enrollment
The enrollment and check in processes were tedious and cumbersome, due to no human staff on site. Once we got in the apartment was fine, except for a clogged drain in the bathroom sink.
Parking was difficult. First, a long drive to the 7th floor. Then the parking spots were marked for individual units, but the labels were in a random non-numerical sequence and couldn't be read in the dim light without leaving the car. There were plenty of empty spaces, so we finally just chose one.

Love my Sonder Stays!
Great location not far from Convention Center! Will definitely stay again if I am in Phoenix. Mikes Big Breakfast a block away is so good, Went every day.
I had to extend my stay due to Hurricane back home and Sonder was very accommodating in making that emergency change.

The concierge was top notch. They helped me organize a surprise for my girlfriend’s bday. The room could have been dusted a bit better but everything else was good. The pool was amazing along with the rec room area.

Every time I’m in Phoenix I stay here. It is an apartment building so if something goes down the whole complex feels it. Had a fire alarm and had to walk the 13 flights of stairs just to get back to my room. But still great place to stay

I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in a hotel where you have to pay for housekeeping. I certainly don’t need it every day but I also don’t think I should be charged for it; especially if that is not made clear at the time of booking. Also the preset temp for the a/c kept the room quite warm at night.

We loved staying here. We had some trouble with opening an email with the instructions but called and the guy was super helpful, friendly and patient while I rebooted my email, lol. The only complaint is the mattress was very uncomfortable.
