Very good

The room was clean and well maintained.
I would suggest that provisions are made for bottled water to be included in the room cost and some kind of cup. The absence of either made me lean over the sink and drink from the tap.
Very cute and cozy hotel. Great area just a few minutes Uber to little Italy and gas lamp. Room was small but good enough size and nice design specially the bathroom, bed was comfortable. There’s a coffee machine and microwave in the lobby which was great. My stay was super quiet which was perfect for me.
Came for Comic Con weekend, location was a bit off the main strip and not the best area, but still walking distance from the convention center and Gaslamp area. I was hesitant because it isn't staffed like typical hotels and we just got the code for the building and room but we had no trouble, towels and extras were available in the hallways and you could reach someone via phone if needed. Our room was one of the larger ones on the first floor. Was a bit noisy at night as we were right on the street but not terrible. The biggest thing was the bathroom shower, there was no curtain or lip so the whole bathroom tended to flood while showering and our AC unit started dripping the last night but we were able to get ahold of someone via phone. We paid for parking in a garage down the road and took an Uber to the hotel to bring our stuff there as there's no onsite parking. Other than that it was a nice little spot with a cute entryway and an elegant moody vibe. Would stay there again.

They cancelled our reservation as we were checking in at 10pm and left us stranded with no hotel.
This was a cute lil place, everything was digital there was no 24 hour staff but there was a number to call and they were very helpful. There’s a code needed to get in the building and a code to get in your actual room. The room was small but beautiful, lots of sun light and old style fixtures in there but very nice. AC was leaking from condensation of the cold air and main light need to be changed, but other then tht great stay, very private. Felt like a tiny apartment room.
They provided lots of thoughtful things like a white noise machine. Love the rustic touch to the interior especially the shower. Parking was easy as some street parking was available, I imagine this might not be the case so plan accordingly.
Great stay overall, I love Sonder Hotels but room 103 in the San Diego location faces the street so there was alot of noise from cars and people walking by, hard to get a good nights rest.
