AirBnb or Hotel not sure
This is more of a AirBNB. I assumed I had booked a normal hotel, imagine my surprise when I arrived and was locked out because they had emailed me some access code that was required for everything including the door to get into the building. After tailgating someone into the building I was able to finally meet someone. There is no real attendant just some guy behind a podium more than a desk that hand bombed my credit card info into an ipad not convinced this has any sort of security. Room was clean etc. but basic tv is not included you get a smart TV where you need to use a personal account to log into your own Netflix, Prime or YouTube. Honestly, I have travelled all over the world and this was by far the least service I have ever received for a price comparable to everyone else in downtown Ottawa. I won't use any Sonder Hotel chain again
