This Sonder was in a great location and very clean. It was walkable to the Superdome (~15 minutes) and right off Canal St. where there was a street car stop to get to Bourbon, the convention center, etc.! The lobby was a vibe, my only regret was not checking out the bar/coffee bar down there! Will be sure to try it next time!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Property was very unique and gorgeous. But…..no clean linens were on bed or clean towels when we arrived. Beds were not even made. There was random trash in floor. Dirty rags were in floor in kitchen and one of the bedrooms. The stovetop was dirty…had not been wiped off. The shampoo dispenser were empty. By this I mean, there were no bottles in them at all….. not just empty. Floors had not been swept. Dirt and dust were in floors. I am traveling with my son and his family which includes three small grandchildren. In several occasions my two year old grandbaby brought me things she had picked up off the floor that if she had swallowed could have seriously harmed her or constituted a trip to the ER. NOT cool. This establishment, in my opinion owes me a refund.

Through Travelocity, I tried to change my booking date. I was told that the manager of the location would need to change it. Travelocity, as well as myself contacted the apartments, but the manager was never available. Four days before the trip, Travelocity was told that the manager couldn't change the date! Very disappointed with this location! No customer service at all! I will make sure that I tell people to not visit this establishment!!

This property exceeded my expectations. You are downtown so it does come with some concerning things when you stay in any downtown area, parking was hard to come by and costly, but again to be expected for a busy area. The check-in process was the best part! Everything done in the app, loved this part!! Will be checking out other properties in the future!

We stayed for 4 nights in the 3 bedroom 2 bath. The location is excellent, just a 2 minute walk to bourbon street. The Apartment was great, fully stocked kitchen with everything we needed, comfortable beds, nice showers. A cute little coffe shop/ bar in the lobby with super nice staff. We were on the 1st floor which has one tiny window facing a building so our apartment got no light, if that is an issue for you I would request a different floor. The only thing that i would change would be the pool hours. Its closes at 8pm, it was still 97° degrees out at 10pm so the kids really wanted to cool off in the pool . There is no parking , we parked right across the street in a parking garage which was very expensive. A discount for hotel guests would be great but other than that we were very happy with our stay and would return.

The Sonder property was a descent stay but probably would not be going back. The room had not been cleaned very well. There were items left from people who previously had stayed. We had a leak in master bath. Had to wait for maintenance to come because they did not have a safe in the room so didn’t feel comfortable allowing others in there while we were out. The “fix” for the leak was to caulk the area. This made it worse and by the next morning there was a lot more water all over master bath floor. Then the AC went out and it was extremely hot to sleep. Although they did allow us to switch room, it was an inconvenience to switch and give up time during our vacation to re pack. Move and unpack again. The bar was also not always open when it was supposed to be. The pool did not seem very clean the first couple of days and the was closed on our last day there when we had planned on laying out. Overall the stay was “ok” but would not go back there for another visit

The location was fantastic. The exposed brick inside asded to the charm of the old city. Having a washer and dryer was a bonus and very appreciated especially on a rainy day. The flooring is wood which is uneven and has big gaps that collect dirt. The rug in the living area was rather dirty and stained. The exposed shelving in the kitchen where the dishes were kept was dusty.

NOLA indoor rain shower

First impressions were that this an ok place. The pictures made the place look nicer than it actually was. The first night went ok. The next day, however we didn't fair so well. We were out for the day, and as New Orleans tends to have we had rain storm. Upon arriving at the hotel, we found the roof leaking all over our luggage and stuff that was in our bedroom. Of course, my husband called the number given, because there was no one on site, and no one was available, so the best they could do was to get us some extra towels to soak up the water. He then sent an email and was told they were sorry for the inconvenience, but nothing could be done. They emailed back asking for pictures, those were sent. Never heard anything for hours. We tried again to contact them by phone and was told that someone would come check on it within 16 hours. Someone did arrive after a 3rd phone call. She took pictures and brought us more towels. Our only options were to deal with it or find our own alternate place to stay, out of own pockets. We asked if we would receive any compensation for our trouble and we never heard from them again. This was the worst experience we have ever had at any hotel!

We travel with children and like the space, kitchen laundry and privacy we get at Sonders when we travel, especially for road trips. But this one was a dud. Our unit 401 had a strong mildew odor from the start. It started raining heavily our first day and we got a lot of leaks. Through windows, over electrical boxes. The kitchen looked cute, but didn’t have basic supplies like a pan. I took video of the leaks, but Sonders chat didn’t provide a way to submit it. Based on the smell and how much it rains there, there is no way they didn’t already know. I also found it strange that there was no interest in comping a day or crediting another stay. It just felt like a ‘sucks for you’ moment. We won’t be staying there again. BUT the Dovetail bar on the first floor made some AMAZING drinks and we got some of our best restaurant recommendations from the bartenders.

This was the perfect place for 3 of us having 3 separate rooms in the French Quarter. It was an older building so there is the usual noise with the wooden floors. My only complaints would be there was some dirty towels left hanging up from the last guest and the elevator could use some maintenance. It had a burning rubber smell.
