Cute studio apartment like room
The room was cute and very close to a lot of restaurants and other things in Downtown Detroit. The place do not have a front desk for check in or anyone to go to for needs or questions. You download their Sonder app, create an account, and check in using that. You don’t interact with a human for any of the check in or check out process or during your stay if you need anything. The room was dusty from eye level and up. It was very spacious and cute. Kitchen had what you need. You can hear outside and inside sounds. My room was by the elevator and I could hear people walking by all the time.

All hotels should do what Sonder is doing
OK, so this was definitely a different experience due to the check in process but it was the best. So you basically check in on the Sonder app and even your key is on the app. Totally amazing because we HATE the regular check in process at hotels. This is the future and I love it. We got an entire apartment for the price of one hotel room and it was in a great location. I came back home telling everyone about this place. Definitely recommend!

Not clean
Pros: room has lot of great amenities like a full kitchen, washer and dryer, and a comfortable bed.
Cons: Cleanliness. There was a tea bag stuck to my ceiling, and the vents were coated in dust. If I walked around my socks were covered in dust. Additionally there is no housekeeping. My room only had half a roll of toilet paper and like 3 tissues in a box. I had to request more, there weren't extras anywhere in the room.
For the price I would have expected at least extra toilet paper and housekeeping.
The elevator is outdated and the hallways seem a bit dirty too, but those were less of a problem.

This place is a great concept, but it’s a bare-bones, no frills operation. It is outrageously overpriced for the value. Terrible bedding. Empty supply closet. Poorly renovated building with cheap fixtures. The ‘gym’ is a joke.
It has a great location. That’s about it.
