Good hotel, good location

Good location, short walk to Rittenhouse Square and Chinatown. Lock code worked fine. There was a dripping sound in the bathroom ceiling ( no water, but evidence of rust) and nobody is available on Sunday to take the complaint. Not a big deal because there was no water dripping. It will not impact a return stay.

DO NOT BOOK HERE. NO JOKE. Read This

DO NOT BOOK HERE!!! Access to the building is by a keypad at street level. My Sonder access code was greyed out and I couldn’t get in the building. There is no lobby or staff at this location. Sonder’s phone support line couldn’t send me the code. I was stuck in the cold for over half an hour trying to get in. A person working for Sonder entered the building. I followed her in and 20 minutes later she gave me the access code. If she didn’t come I would have needed to purchase another room elsewhere.

Not a good first impression

We spoke with an agent on the phone the day of check out to confirm the reservation. We received a text saying we will receive directions within three days of our stay even though it was the day of check in and we never received any directions. We could not access our hotel room until the morning of check out.
