This place was very nice if you are under 30. Read the description of the place carefully. Itvsays in little letters no elevator. I missed that. It also said help would come if asked. We asked twice no one came. We also were unable to stream to the TV. It was a very clean and nice place to stay. But no for us as carry 4 suitcases up 5 flight of stairs was to much for us old people.

I needed to find a more economical place to stay to attend a conference in downtown Seattle -- and did not want to pay the premium price at the host hotel. I discovered the Sonder -- and the reviews were clear about what I was getting: key-less entry with no staff on the premises, no elevator. So I knew that going in -- and it was a terrific choice for me. There is an adjacent city parking garage where I parked my car for $15/day. The key-code was easy to use to access front door and my room. I did not feel stranded because the app provided a number to call if there was a need -- and there was a phone number in my room to call if necessary (along with two chocolates). The whole place is super clean; I walked nearby to get my coffee and found a wine store (and there was a corkscrew in the room)! I convened a Zoom meeting for two hours with the excellent WiFi connection. I am 68 years old, travelling by myself, and navigated the stairs to the sixth floor just fine and walked downtown to my meetings. I got my steps in! I would definitely return.

The solitude and quiet was wonderful, the room was modern and clean, the bed was comfortable, the shower was excellent -- I didn't feel like I was paying for amenities I didn't want or need. I did miss having a chair and work surface, as I was staying on business and did have to do a fair amount of laptop work. I made it work, and I could have gone down to the lounge and used the table there, but I didn't want to lug my stuff down there. Super happy, though, would definitely stay again.

I loved my stay at the Sonder! The staff was so helpful when maintenance in my original room prevented me from checking in early. I received a room upgrade and a refund for the early check-in fee. The Sonder is also conveniently located near the Capitol Hill light rail station, and it's only a short walk to the waterfront. It was my first time in Seattle and, as a young solo traveler, this was an ideal building and neighborhood to stay in!

Disliked: Amenities
I was incredibly disappointed in the room. Nothing in the description led me to believe that I had rented a room where the shower was the first thing you saw upon entering and that the only thing "private" in the "private bathroom" was the toilet. There was absolutely no room for two people to move around freely. A terrible deal for that much money.

Unfortunately, we drew the short stick and got a room on the top floor. It wasn't too bad, as we aren't so old yet that we can't do stairs. However, getting luggage in and out was a challenge. Also, I didn't realize that there would be no cleanings while there. Also, shower privacy was non-existant. Good location to Convention Center and restaurants.

This Property was amazing ! The Sonder had a very cool modern no fuss just easy! From the get-Go! The check in process was so fast fasted check in so far literally like seconds. Than shower in the room was amazing! The hot water was hit just the right spot. Cons: no elevator BUT that was fine However I would not recommend for someone who has physical handicaps. It’s not wheel chair friendly. Maybe there is an elevator. Either way awesome stay ! Safe and super chill neighborhood

The property itself is terrific. Truly felt like my own studio apartment. I had a corner room so I had windows on two walls. While there is an espresso maker supplied, I would still rather have a coffee maker. Note to those who might have mobility or stamina issues, there is no elevator, so you may want to request a lower floor. This part of the neighborhood is not the best but I never felt unsafe. I’d be glad to stay here again!
