WiFi is free in public spaces. There's an onsite 24-hour business center. A fitness center, a terrace, and concierge services are also featured at Sonder by Marriott Bonvoy The Winfield Apartments Downtown LA.
Property is beautiful inside. Just the downtown area, outside, that is sketchy. There were a lot of weirdos around but I like the restaurants and businesses surrounding. That city just needs to be cleaned up. My overall experience with Sonder was amazing! Would love to stay again.
I was really torn between giving this hotel 3 or 4 stars. But I decided to give this hotel 4 stars.
Pros: The hotel itself is beautiful. The room is beautiful it was like a 2 bedroom apartment. Having a washer and dryer was a pleasant surprise. There was also a fridge and dishwasher. There were pots, pans, forks, spatula, bowls and plates. There was also provided shampoo, conditioner and body wash and laundry pods. The room was also very clean and my husband said the bed, pillows and blankets were super comfortable. We were on the 6th floor wasn't too noisy.
Cons: the floors felt overly sandy. I highly recommend bringing slippers or sandals. I think the room could us a few rugs so you don't have to walk on the floor. There was only a tv in the living room. I like having a tv in atleast one of the bedrooms. Our two biggest complaints is one the neighborhood/area and the parking. The area is very run down, trashy and smelly. A lot of homeless people. Me and my husband have been in rundown areas but this one takes the cake even we were a little uncomfortable. There are vendors selling food EVERYWHERE! Two, the parking. There is literally no parking anywhere nearby for free. Everywhere was 30$ with signs that said no going in and out. We luckily didn't have to pay $30 because my husband drove around in circles 5 times until he saw a free space right across the street from the hotel door. He had to stop traffic and do a u turn to get the spot.
Not the best area. The reason to get a room like this is so you can cook or reheat food but the only thing in the room was a cook top. Very load outside at night.
My room at the Sonders was clean and comfortable, and I slept well. My only problem was the parking availability, since they don't have onsite parking, I was staying at one of the suggested lots behind the building and the only one that had overnight parking. The first two days were no problem, but the last day I stayed the parking was closed and I had no other option to park at a parking deck two blocks away. This placed me in a dangerous situation since I had to leave at 1:00 am. I did not want to put my safety at risk walking at that time in the morning with so many homeless people roaming around and had to hire a Lyft to give me a ride to the parking deck. I will not be staying at the Sonders again, not because it was something wrong with the place but for the lack of a safe and convenient parking area.
