Not great!

What I liked: ease of checking in and size of room. What I didn’t like: everything else! Property does not have parking and it is very difficult to find parking. We ended up getting a ticket with street parking. It’s very noisy! Pillows are uncomfortable and the sofa bed is like sleeping with on the floor. To top it off, we left behind a make up bag (yes I understand that was our fault) and when we noticed it, I contacted the hotel to get it back and housekeeping said it wasn’t there. We know 100% it was left behind. Who would want used makeup, yuck! All in all, probably would never stay there again!

Fine place but setting up an account is cumbersome

The apartment was clean, freshly built or renovated, and well equipped. Self-checking in and out was smooth. However, the required setting up of an account on Sonder was cumbersome. confusing, and time consuming. The noise level in the unit was above average.

No parking and staff does not give recommendations. Found a garage on spot hero that worked out. Location is great, walking distance to all of the major attractions, dining, etc. surrounding city is loud which we expected and was fine. Guests above and next to us were loud and there isn't anything stopping the sound from traveling which was annoying at times. Nice room and they provided everything needed for a nice stay. Rooftop patio was also nice. All interaction is via chat. Very obvious they had never been to the property as some answers were wrong, but we figured it out. No issues finding the building or using the code to get into the room. Overall worked great for what we needed.

Had a noise complaint for music even though our room was at the end and the volume was about as high as the TV would have been. Seemed excessive and clearly means the walls are ridiculously thin. Just beware that you need to be unnaturally quiet.

Easy walk down 2nd st to Old City. Loved having the 2 bedroom apt with my family. The sound machine was great, i put ours near the front door. I think the windows in our rooms were fantastic bc we hardly heard the traffic; you moreso hear others in the building. I would def stay here again!

LOVE Sonders

Sonder is such a cool concept. Basically renting an apartment but with a private hotel feel. I absolutely LOVE the concept and will continue booking with Sonders in the future for other trips. Super easy booking process, easy check-in. Excellent customer service. The Edison was great! Definitely staying at some of the other Sonders in Philly.

The area was nice, but i will say parking is terrible in that area. There’s a garage nearby that says it’s 24 hours but it isn’t… we drove around for ages to find parking when we got in around 1am so that was lame but the property itself was awesome. We love using Sonder and do it every chance we can find one. Check in is easy with the app and using the phone as a key is convenient too. It’s basically just an apartment you can stay in, so i really enjoy it
