Zero Hospitality

2.0

Had the worst experience at the Sonder. In fact, I was unable to check in so I never got to see the hotel. The worst part was the lack of hospitality from THREE people at the front desk - and none of them were occupied helping other guests. They made me call Priceline multiple times rather than them help or do their job. Isn’t that what they should be doing and are paid for? Clearly, there was no hospitality. I’m afraid they’ve lost a customer and any sense of reputation as I surely won’t be recommending this place. Thank you, A couple celebrating an anniversary

Guest review

8.0

location was great, staff were helpful, room was clean and comfortable, free parking garage, high level of security.

It was a maze to get in and out of the building. Need better signage.

Location is prime. Comfortable, clean room. OK for a 'beach' hotel.

6.0

Location is absolutely amazing. All said, for the price-- I'd stay here again for the location alone. Beach access, coffee shops, boutiques, galleries, restaurants, etc. are all within blocks, if not next door. The staff, when there, were pleasant. The facility and rooms are a bit tired. It was a nice sized room, bed was comfortable, sheets were clean, etc. Wall AC unit was loud and could use a filter change. The room itself is that of an older hotel that has received a few coats of paint over the years. The Marriott pictures are definitely portraying a much 'fresher' perspective of the hotel than reality of the room I was in. The rooftop patio was great to take in a conference call and watch the ocean... The pool is small. Also, I wouldn't expect "resort-style" presence/service with towels set about each day as you see in the picture. When I was there (October) the hotel was minimally staffed with door codes to get into the building and room after hours (no staff after hours). Expect traffic noise depending on the side of the hotel you are staying... beach side is traffic side. Again- great location, clean, comfortable room. Just not a fancy 4-star as you may expect by how it's rated and the images shared by the hotel/chain.
