This is not your traditional hotel. They have no amenities and the room is just a bed, small fridge, and bathroom. There are no nightstands or dressers for clothing. The tv is a Roku device so you have to use your own streaming service if you care to watch TV.

I booked and paid half the price to confirm the reservation for the Sonder Hotel (The William Apartments Midtown) from July 22 to Aug 06. On July 22, we were informed that our hotel reservation had been cancelled, without explanation, but they offered us an opportunity to stay at another Sonder hotel (Chambers Hotel Central Park South), When we arrived at the Chamber Hotel on July 22, we were charged half of the price and then the other half at the same time: I was told that William Apartments would refund my initial deposit within a week. But I had not received my refund to the end of my 15 days holiday. We went to William Apartment Midtown to request a refund. and I was told that we would receive a refund within a few days. After returning to Australia, I noticed some transactions on my bank statement from the Sonder Hotel: August 3, 2025: Sonder.com San Francisco 2394.4 USD $3684.99 AUD August 7, 2025: Sonder.com 16173000956 2394.4 USD 129.71 AUD -$3835.81 August 10, 2025: Sonder.com San Francisco 1196.70 USD $1831.50 AUD I should receive a refund for my first payment 0f $1196.70 USD (about $1922.37 AUD) but now have only received $1680.68AUD (from above transactions: $3684.99-$3835.81+$1831.50= $1680.68). why did they make three transactions to refund me? They make a mistake, right? Since I lost money due to their cancellation of my reservation and the mistake when they made a refund to me, shouldn't they compensate me?

I just had surgery, arrived and checked in to my room, the room was freezing, when adjusting the thermostat it did not work properly I took a bath and the water was only tepid warm, the bathtub leaked so water was all over the floor Alerted staff at front desk, personal came up and wiped the floor down, they could not give me another room as hotel was booked Next day maintenance came to fix the bathroom but nothing was done about the thermostat I was in room 407, terrible room that needs to be repaired for all its faults I was stressed and very uncomfortable and had a horrible stay Also there is no manager available, only by email It’s ridiculous to rate this as a 4 star hotel or give it any rating at all This is by far one of the worst hotels in the Marriott chain

Excellent stay in a great location

Excellent stay. In a great location and surprisingly quiet given its midtown. Staff were super friendly. Room was modern and had everything we needed. Only downside was that there was no safe in the room.

Very contactless and you pretty much have to download the hotel app to have a seamless stay. There is no room cleaning unless you request it and pay $35 for the service. Busy lobby bar but wasn’t intrusive for me. It was a pleasant stay, but very self-service.

UNCOMFORTABLE AND UNSAFE This is not truly a hotel- more like a high design hostel. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable, the TV did not work and room and towels wreaked of bleach. Most importantly, as a woman traveling alone for work this "hotel" is not safe. It does not have 24/7 staff and the entire first floor is a bar. There are no keys (you have to input all of your information, CC ad ID into an app - digital privacy is another topic) and are given an access code. Anyone with the access code can enter the hotel. There are no id swipes for the elevator so anyone at the bar can get to any floor of the hotel. The access code opens the room and there are NO interior physical locks. Given that there is no one at the front desk after 10pm.... it's not a safe place. Not staying here again and would not recommend.

One has to get one's mind around the fact that the lobby is also the entry area to a very chic speakeasy. We are not bothered by that because my husband thinks that the bartenders make excellent martinis. The neighborhood is very convenient. Our room was spacious, chic and immaculate. But no bathrobes, no umbrellas and no MSNBC. Whatever.

Great value - a little studio in the city

Such a convenient room with terrace - and great value for the money!
