Great to be in Downtown Phoenix
Loved the location. We are Boomers & a bit nervous about the set up, but The Sonder provided all information needed and even a video about parking on site. It was nice to have space and a full kitchen. Loved our balcony on the 13th floor. Great gym in the building. There were several restaurants within a few blocks. Fun young neighborhood.

Got all the codes texted to me. Easy codes. The room key didn’t work some reason.
Clean, comfortable room. Bedroom was separated from the living room and kitchen. Full kitchen was nice. Nice balcony.
Very satisfied.

Great place to stay- close to everything you need. A bit loud at night with constrution happening close by and also a night club across the street that gets very busy on weekend nights. The pool and hot tub was fantastic. Lots of great restaurant's near by. We will be back.

Our new favorite place to stay in Phoenix
A place that we will definitely look at next year for our yearly jaunt down to Phoenix. In and out garage parking was an affordable 15 dollar a night add-in. We ended up with a 13th floor studio room that had a balcony and the view was really quite nice toward the east with a great angle on Camelback Mountain. Bed was comfortable. Hot tub and pool open 24/7 depending on weather. Giant walk in closet was great to set up our suitcases and keep them out of sight.

Really enjoyed our stay! The place was clean and exactly as advertised. The Sonder app was super easy to use. We drove everywhere so not really sure about what’s around but seems to be in a decent area and walkable.
