Great Boho Boutique Hotel.
I had a nice stay at this cute boutique hotel. My room was super cute, great lighting and boho decor. The bed very comfortable with 6 fluffy pillows. The staff was great and location convenient with grocery store a block away. Would stay again!

I love the vibe. The areas okay, except if you have to park, the only negative was the neighbor's yelling at each other, but that's a one off.

This place is gorgeous and updated, if a little small. The staff was so nice and helpful whenever we went to the front desk for anything. One thing that was strange is that nobody came to clean the room any of the 4 days we were there, despite not really having the DND sign up. Otherwise, be prepared for a really nice stay in a smaller spot that's very central and walkable in Long Beach.

Dare visit downtown Long Beach!
The area was somewhat disconcerting, but one block away there is the Promenade. The hotel is really new, fresh and clean, the service is intentionally streamlined but overall it’s a really good value for the money.

This is a great hotel close to lots of food and shopping within walkable distances. Parking is a huge negative in this area though. Especially at night if you have plans and get back late. Also, be prepared to have to pay for it throughout the day from 9-6 ($1/hr). The hotel could really use some designated parking options.

I selected this hotel because I was looking for an affordable place within walking distance of the convention center. The Sonder Central City was that and so much more! While the neighborhood is a little rough the property is in wonderful shape, comfortable, and totally safe feeling. The room was comfortable, well appointed and pleasant. The courtyard and pool area is charming, and cafe is wonderful. But what really stood out was the staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful - I felt like they genuinely wanted to ensure I had a good stay. This was my first Sonder experience but won't be my last!

We stayed for the rave at the queen mary! Easy 10 min walk from the shuttle to the festival! The staff was very nice and welcoming! The restaurant attached to it has such good bagels omg! Definitely gonna stay here again with the little one to take her to the aquarium ❤️
The only issue was so many homeless people outside the hotel. But we felt safe inside so no need to worry!

Super Accommodating
We had a fantastic time. There was a problem with our luggage at the beginning. We were coming off of a cruise and didn't have a place to store our luggage. Sonder City Center was super accommodating and provided a place for us to store our luggage for almost 8 hours before we could officially check in. When we did l, the check-in process was seamless and super easy.
We loved the room too. Very comfortable and clean. It felt new yet retro. We loved it.

Simply fabulous!
Very secure building. Super clean. Retro modern. Staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly. The most comfortable beds ever. Parking garage 2.5 blocks away was inexpensive and very secure. Only a 3 minute walk. Lots of great dining nearby. I’ll definitely return when in LB.

Excellent location, charming retro vibe in LBC
Excellent location and charming retro vibe. Rooms are on the small side but adequate for solo and couples. Very walkable to multiple locations, like the Promenade, 4th Street, the beach, and the Transit Mall. Staff was very helpful and friendly. The bagels and bar at Olive & Rose are excellent.
Minor glitch: The code provided for my room would not work. A staff member had to give me a backup code to use for my stay. The keypad on the outside of the building was not backlit and hard to use.

Beautiful property in Dowtown Long Beach, Highly recommend but beware if you are not familar with the area. I lived there and knew what to expect. It's a little grimy with teeth. But inside the property I felt like I was in Palm Springs. Very well done. Furnishings where modern and beautiful. Bed and pillows are super comforatble.

Was again put in a ADA room even though I am not in need of those accommodations. When I inquired, I was told bc I booked through hotels.com I got the least desirable room. Which is kind of annoying. Also, another Sonder where the bathroom has no counter space.
