The facility is nice, but the room we were assigned was right beside an alleyway. During the night exhaust fans from the building in proximity to the large window of our unit emitted a high pitched noise that made it difficult to sleep. Although the instructions said there is no smoking in the building, at least 3 out of 5 days we were there, smoke could be detected in the hallway right within our front door. There is no coat rack or anywhere to hang coats or other clothing especially on cold and rainy days. The fridge was new and had an ice maker, but it did not work when turned on.

Staying at the Sonder Burnham Chicago was a new, and good experience. New because I have never booked accommodations where there wasn't a front desk or any people I would see in the property day-to-day like one would cross paths with at a conventional hotel. This made for a very private-feeling experience, without any ruckus or random noise outside my room. The room was a mini apartment with a full size fridge that came in very handy, a full kitchen with cookware and serve ware, and a combo washer/dryer (of which I did not expect and would've brought less in my suitcase if I'd known). My stay was 3 days/nights, but was very comfortable and I could see myself being content there for a much longer period. I will definitely look out for other Sonder locations when traveling for work or leisure visiting other cities.

Easy to get in and out. Very clean. Parking lots all over. We found one right behind the building and parked our large car there for 3 nights $62. Good location.

I’m familiar with the area, so I knew where to find groceries. Area might be safe during the day, but in any big cities one needs to stay aware of what is going on around them. The washer dryer was complicated. I tried using Sonder app to find instructions, but I was never able to find the instructions. The Sonder/Burham was mostly quiet except for a couple nights. I don’t think that one guest realized what all I could hear.

The room was clean and comfortable. Accessibility and parking was easy. The entrance to the building is DIRTY and unappealing. Front door area had not been swept for the entire stay. Windows in were filthy - looks like they had never been cleaned.
