I really wanted to leave this property a good review because the area was great the room was pretty clean and the pool area with view was awesome. However we booked a superior 1 bedroom which included a big wrap around balcony. When we arrived we got a tiny shared balcony. This was terrible and very awkward sharing a balcony that looked right in your neighbors room. We reached out on the app via text message because there is no front desk help here. The people we messaged apologized, but did nothing to compensate us. What a rip off 😣. The lay out was also weird only place to hang clothes was in the bathroom and the gym was closed. ( not deal breakers). This place would have been good if we got the room we paid for. I feel we got taken advantage of.

Couldve been great
The apartment while nice and counters and bath were clean. The walls were filthy with dirt and marks all over them. The beds were hard as rocks making it hard to sleep and the showerhead in the giant shower was way too small The plus side was the wrap around balcony, the amazing view and the killer kitchen. As well as the rooftop pool and the lounge

The room itself is beautiful & it was clean. I like the area around the property- it's close to everything downtown. However, I would not stay here again due to the inconvenience of there not being a front desk/ anyone on site to help with issues, which there were. First, the day we arrived, the water had been shut off all day so there was no hot water for a shower after our flight. Secondly, when we arrived, we discovered there was only 1 pool wristband instead of 2 which was an issue because their check-in info says everyone has to have their own wristband to be able to use the pool. They brought another band, but not til later the next day. Thirdly, I added parking & was told the parking deck transponder/ scanner would be in a locker...well, when I checked the locker for the parking scanner, there was nothing there. & that was after business hours, so no way to access the parking deck until a security guard nicely let us in for the night. They had to give me another code to another locker to actually get a parking scanner. Then finally 2 days after I checked out, they messaged me saying I never turned in the parking transponder (which I did, just had put it in the second locker they had assigned me, where it came from. They seemed to have no idea about the issue with the first locker containing nothing despite me contacting them about that during the stay). Was just super inconvenient to constantly have to contact off site customer service for these issues during the stay

Good location. All our passcodes worked well. Washer and dryer in suite was very helpful. The basics were provided in the suite. Bed was firm, but comfortable. We would stay here again.

The location of the property and the views from our room were great. The pool/hot tub area were very nice. However, our parking garage transponder didn't work for the first 4 days of our 5 day stay despite multiple communications with Sonder. It was finally replaced on the 4th day. We were locked out from the parking garage to the building due to the door malfunctioning and had to access from one floor below. The furnishings were very cheap and the walls were very scraped up throughout. Our shower curtain didn't extend down into the tub, so the water sprayed onto the floor. We couldn't move the bar down as it was permanently affixed. The TV only works if you have a streaming subscription. I liked the convenience of th app but we were frustrated having to re-explain our needs about the garage transponder day by day. There weren't any updates by Sonder on how they were addressing issues. We met many other people renting feom Sondr on the floor with similar complaints. It would be an amazing stay in a great location if these issues were addressed.

Good location, confusing checkin.
Good location and amenities in the building. The only real issue is that Sonder at McKinley is nowhere on any aspect of the property. The building is called The Stewart, and that is what is says everywhere.
