The stay was straight forward. Login with the passcode and get in. But no one at the reception so some nuances are not easy. For e.g. no early check in even if there are rooms. Also, for long stays, they cant change sheets or towels and no cleaning. It is an interesting concept but not so sure about long term stays like 4-5 days

Amazing customer service! I didn’t get the email to start the process of being able to get into the apartment and stayed on the phone until I got my codes. They don’t have front desk so that was very helpful, he made sure I’d be able to get into the apartment. Getting to the hotel was simple and easy. The apartment was very nice and modern looking, clean as well as in a great location downtown. Will be booking through this company again (:

Great gem close to Union Station

Soooo close to Union Station and next door to a classic breakfast restaurant that has been around for decades, Lou Mitchell’s (closed Mon & Tue tho). Easy self check in, great quick customer service, comfortable bed and bedding, quiet except for the occasional ambulance. I reserved the Queen studio and the kitchenette was perfect. I’d stay there again on my next trip.

If you enjoy sound privacy, don't stay here

The location can't be beat, and the accommodations were clean, in good condition, and well-maintained. The walls and ceilings are *extremely* thin, and I had very loud and obnoxious upstairs neighbors who did not abide by the hotel's quiet hours. I filed a complaint with Sonder, and they said they'd reach out to the other guests but nothing changed. I should've asked to switch rooms once I knew the other folks weren't going to change their behavior--that's on me. If you value sound privacy, whether your own, or don't care to hear your neighbors primal noises set to Evita blaring in the background, I'd recommend staying somewhere else.

If you are a walker and just want to explore what Chicago has to offer please book this place. You can store your bags before and after checkin/out and the lobby is so nice and quiet.

Quite nice. Bad parking

It was quite nice overall! The only inconvenience to note was the parking situation close was not ideal and the fan didn’t work in the restroom

The hotel location is pretty good, there’s a lot of stuff within walking distance and the area felt safe. The property was a little strange because there’s no front desk staff. The room was mostly nice/clean but I found a live cockroach in the bathroom on my last day there.
