I had a business conference in the city and the Witherspoon provided a great option. It was good value with a spacious and clean room. Lots of options to eat in the area, including the reading terminal market. Appreciated the luggage storage option, which I used before checking in and after check out.
It’s my first time staying with Sonder and I found their app very easy to use and informative.

Great space and in a fab location.
It was the cleanest place we have stayed in our 4 weeks so far.
It was a new experience for us having codes etc but they do have luggage storage which was a bonus
Loved our stay here.
Would use Sonder again and again

The location is quite good for food and walking around to City hall. But it was very noisy with "live band" almost every night from 11pm to 2am. There were also noisy cars and horn honking in the middle of the night until early morning.

We had a decent experience in this prime location apartment. There are minor adjustments that I recommend: the walls of the general area of 7th floor need a touch-up of paint, the exterior refrigerator, coffee table, nightstands in the unit showed signs of wear and tear.

The property was ideally located, within walking distance of the things we wanted to see. The unit was clean and as shown in the description. Unfortunately, the neighborhood was very loud at night, as was the HVAC unit.

We love the Sonder chain and thi was no exception, except for one small but very pervasive problem: it was SO LOUD. Aside from the fact that the air conditioning sounded like a jet plane taking off every time it cycled on, the rooms have no protection from the street noise and on the weekends this neighborhood is loud. I can’t fault the hotel for that, but be aware of the challenge if you chose to stay in this neighborhood. Otherwise the Sonder continues to be a great choice for clean, spacious functional rooms.
