My daughter and I were in Detroit for the Jelly Roll concert. We really enjoyed the property, plenty of storage. It was nice and close to the Little Cesar Arena, within walking distance. Great location for all of downtown. Would definitely stay at again!

The room was great: clean, high ceilings, everything we needed. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location was fantastic, right at the base of Washington Blvd., walkable to downtown and the Q line train. The people mover wasn’t working during our stay but I think the station for that is nearby. Thank you for a nice stay, Sonder!

Came into town for a show at the Masonic Temple. Parking right across the street in a gated lot. An easy walk to the venue. Nicely appointed room and quiet in the evening.

The view was great of the city. We love having a living room and bedrooms. Something had been spilled by/under the couch and was never cleaned up. The pullout couch had food in it when we pulled it out. Things were a little dated or well-used, but overall, for the price and convenience, it was fine.

Loved the location and the concept of having an apartment style suite! The building hallways and elevator seem a little run down (don’t let that deter you) the room was very clean and nice. Super easy to checkin and check out. Definitely would come back and highly recommend.

Property was in a good location. Close to everything. However, the overwhelming odor of marjuana smoking inside when on the floors made it awful.

Great to have own little apartment, perfect size for the two of us. We had a studio. Very clean. Loved the views with so many windows. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and accommodating. Jasmine went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We found a parking in it down street by federal building and reserved ahead of time with Spothero. Other than typical city noise it actually was pretty quiet. Loved being able to walk everywhere.

All hotels should do what Sonder is doing
OK, so this was definitely a different experience due to the check in process but it was the best. So you basically check in on the Sonder app and even your key is on the app. Totally amazing because we HATE the regular check in process at hotels. This is the future and I love it. We got an entire apartment for the price of one hotel room and it was in a great location. I came back home telling everyone about this place. Definitely recommend!

We were in town for the marathon and property was good for what we needed. Friendly staff, room was spacious and clean with good amenities. Area was close to all marathon activities, sports events, as well as great dining options. That being said…this may be the loudest hotel we have EVER stayed at. You can hear everything from toilets flushing around the building, neighbors tv, blinds opening and closing, and the street noise was NON STOP 24hrs. Very comfortable stay unless you really like your sleep or quiet time because you won’t get that here.
