I recently had the pleasure of staying at a Sonder property, and it was an incredibly pleasant experience. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by how spacious and well-designed the room was. The layout was perfect, with plenty of room to spread out, yet still cozy enough to feel like a home away from home. The bed was especially comfortable, and the high ceilings and large windows added to the airy, open feel. One of the standout features for me was how quiet it was. Despite being in a vibrant area, the hotel was incredibly peaceful—perfect for a restful night after a long day of sightseeing. The soundproofing between rooms seemed top-notch, and I never once heard noise from the hallways or neighboring rooms, which is always a huge plus. The overall vibe of the hotel was modern and stylish, with minimalist decor that created a calm, uncluttered environment. It didn’t feel sterile like some chain hotels; instead, it had a welcoming, lived-in quality that made me feel relaxed and at ease. In addition to the comfort of the room, the hotel’s location was ideal, with plenty of nearby restaurants, cafes, and shops. The self-check-in process was smooth and easy, and I appreciated the flexibility that came with not having to rely on traditional hotel staff. All in all, my stay at Sonder was a great one. It was quiet, roomy, and nice in all the right ways. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, hassle-free experience.

Very much enjoyed staying here. We were in town for a conference. The place was very clean and comfortable and getting there was like an escape room, ie, upon arrival, go to locker 8, enter code, get transponder, place on dashboard, park car in designated spot, enter code from garage, enter code in elevator, enter code to room.... My point being you're not getting in if you don't belong there. The apt had a full size fridge and kitchen, along with dishes, silverware and pots and pans and utensils. Also had a washer and dryer, which was great to not have to bring dirty clothes home. It was mostly quiet, except a one night there was some festival nearby, and another night just some loud people, but it wasn't a big deal. The only things I did not like was that the balconies are all open, with no privacy. You can see every balcony on every floor, but we didn't spend much time there, so it wasn't a dealbreaker for sure. The other thing I didn't like was never seeing nor speaking to a representative. However, every time I had a question, real-time chat was instantly available to answer a question. It was ultimately fine; just not used to never seeing a person. I would highly recommend, and would stay here again. I would also consider staying at their other properties in other cities. Thank you so much.

Every time I’m in Phoenix I stay here. It is an apartment building so if something goes down the whole complex feels it. Had a fire alarm and had to walk the 13 flights of stairs just to get back to my room. But still great place to stay

Apartment owners take their pets in front of the building to do there business and it smells awful. Had a hard time accessing the room, code lock wouldn't work after several trys. Very challenging and frustrating.

Entry instructions were incorrect- in ALL CAPS I was instructed to find physical keys and there were none. The HVAC system was incredibly, distractingly loud. The toilet handle stuck- the toilet flushed the entire time I was at breakfast. The shower cavitated- turning on the shower sounded like "ut ut ut ut ut ut". It worked, but was annoying. No fitted sheets on the bed. Seriously?

The place is fine. A bit expensive for what you get, but the location is good if you want to explore downtown Phoenix. The parking/access instructions/process are fairly detailed/elaborate, making getting in a bit of an ordeal. Also, the code for the door/mobile access as well as the wifi didn't work when we arrived, requiring a bunch of back and forth with the host. They were sufficiently responsive, although we had to reset the route ourselves. Since we were only staying the one night and had an early flight to make we would have rather gotten quickly in & settled, rather than spending a bunch of time figuring out the escape-room techniques required to get into the parking garage/building/elevator, unit. If we had stayed longer it probably would not have seemed such a time intensive ordeal.

Great apartment and fabulous rooftop pool with bbqs for use, plenty of comfortable seating, and beautiful sunset views. The wifi went out one of the days I was there which can happen but was quite problematic as I couldn't get in touch with Sonder to advise without it so had to go to a resto for wifi. Might be good to have a back up plan for guests (e.g. portable wifi device) knowing that other guests may also not pay roaming fees or use cell phones while travelling. But overall a great apartment and stay. Central Records was an impressive music/bar space a 2 min walk away and different than the other usual brew pub spaces also close by.

Toilet was broken upon arrival. Was first told maintenance would be up in the morning. Not sure how they thought that would work with no functioning toilet. Finally someone came and tried to fix it but wasn’t successful. We were given access to different room to use toilet but not switch rooms- wasn’t too convenient in middle of the night. Was fixed next day.

I should have read the reviews BEFORE booking. So not to be too long, the area is ideal for everything from night life to being in the center of the state to travel everywhere and do all the things you wish to do. We knew we would take daily (all day, early am trips) so didn’t care too much when we booked. Downside: the WiFi didn’t work, the bed is stiff/extremely firm, the manual door codes didn’t work and the room layout didn’t totally match the photo. We messaged Somder via the all but that wasn’t much help at all. The building is secure which is good but also annoying and should be a key fob entrance. Paying to park is just a cash grab since it’s clearly available but they just want to make extra money from you. Overall, even though we wanted somewhere just to lay our head at night, I wouldn’t recommend this property unless you’re solo but for the comfort you’re better off sleeping in the car for the same experience.

I really enjoyed the concept of Sonder at McKinley. Getting access to the building and the rooms with key codes, any questions or request going through the app, and everything overall being online, with no "front desk" to deal with. It felt very independent and the rooms were very nice, with balconies and full kitchens. One thing that was slightly frustrating was the internet going in and out every few minutes, especially since I was here for a conference and needing to work in between. It was also almost impossible to use the Chromecast since the internet is needed to sync devices.
