We loved the proximity to Union Station as well as Willis Tower and St. Patrick's Church. Casual dining options were very close and convenient. The apt was very clean. The view was of an alley which as expected had trash around dumpsters. It was brightly lit at night. A number of panhandlers in the area, which wasn't a complete surprise considering it's a city. The loveseat was the worst part... extremely uncomfortable and worn out. That being said, we would stay there again, because the check in and check out process was also a breeze. Had everything you need for a limited stay. The area felt safe to walk around also. Lots of foot traffic.

Lovely bedding, beautiful bathroom, very well equipped. However there was a lot of noise from exposed pipes on the ceiling, and some noise from other people nearby. If it had better sound insulation I would definitely stay again.

Location, the overall building and access were excellent. Only downside is that the walls are quite thin, you could pretty easily hear voices and activity in the neighboring unit.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had a fantastic stay at Sonder Chicago West Loop during my business trip! The location was perfect for meetings, and I loved having the extra space. The studio felt more like an apartment—super clean, spacious, and well-appointed with stylish decor. The kitchen was fully stocked and well-maintained, making the stay even more comfortable. The reception area was great for getting work done before check-in, and the luggage room lockers were a huge plus. The app-based entry system was incredibly convenient—made everything seamless. Only minor note: some street noise in my unit facing the road, but nothing too disruptive. Overall, a great stay, and I’d definitely return!

My unit was very nice and more than perfect for my needs. It was spacious and quiet. There is little going on in the area in the evenings which I found a bit unnerving as an older adult. You know - there's safety in numbers!

Amazing customer service! I didn’t get the email to start the process of being able to get into the apartment and stayed on the phone until I got my codes. They don’t have front desk so that was very helpful, he made sure I’d be able to get into the apartment. Getting to the hotel was simple and easy. The apartment was very nice and modern looking, clean as well as in a great location downtown. Will be booking through this company again (:

Great gem close to Union Station

Soooo close to Union Station and next door to a classic breakfast restaurant that has been around for decades, Lou Mitchell’s (closed Mon & Tue tho). Easy self check in, great quick customer service, comfortable bed and bedding, quiet except for the occasional ambulance. I reserved the Queen studio and the kitchenette was perfect. I’d stay there again on my next trip.
