Great spot in the heart...

Liked: We loved the location! It's conveniently within walking distance of all the main city attractions and just a 10–15 minute walk from Jefferson Station, which has direct service to and from Philadelphia Airport.The neighborhood felt safe, and a Sonder employee was present when we arrived, which made the check-in process smoother.The room was well-equipped, and we appreciated the coffee pods — a nice touch!
Disliked: There was an unbearable noise coming from the bathroom area — not sure if it was the AC or something else, but it was very loud. We only stayed one night, so we managed, but it was definitely unpleasant.The check-in process also wasn’t as smooth as what I’ve come to expect from Sonder. Since they’ve switched to Marriott, it took longer than usual to receive the access codes.

Good

Very good

Liked: The hotel is in a great location — LGBT+ friendly and close to the city center and all major landmarks. Check-in is very easy through the app, and you don't have to interact with any staff in person.If you arrive early, you can use lockers to store your luggage.The room was very spacious and had everything we needed, including a coffee machine, plenty of towels, Wi-Fi, amenities, and even earplugs. I also requested an extra blanket in advance, and it was already prepared in the room on the day of our arrival.
Disliked: There was a very loud noise coming from the air conditioners in the courtyard, which we could hear through the window. I believe the hotel is aware of this issue, as there was a sign in the room warning that the street might be noisy and providing earplugs. But trust me — even the earplugs didn’t help. If you're a light sleeper or sensitive to noise, I wouldn't recommend staying here.

Exceptional

still, a nice room overall...

Liked: location and the room overall
Disliked: lacking basic toiletries in the room and even in the hotel stock room; room door needs to be fixed

Good

Liked: It was a really nice and airy room with great high ceilings. Quite large bathroom for this kind of room. The location was good and also nice to see a different side of Philly.
Disliked: I hade the room high up in the corner and the windows didnt help at all for music. One of the evenings there was a party in the street which sounded so loud it was hard to sleep. They even hand out earplugs which is good but didnt help. Rest of the evenings it was better. Changing windows would really improve the room. Bath was a bit worn but still nice and with a large window.
