My family stayed at Sonder 211 M 7th in Nashville TN. In The sheets we found bugs, hair, and crumbs in the sheets on the bed and the sofa bed (I have photos), and a smear of blood on one of the top sheets. The walls were dirty with brown food, black handprints and scuffs. The floors weren’t vacuumed and the carpet was stained. The marble table in the living room was broken. I called (seven times) and exchanged more tgan a dozen texts in which I was promised this would be addressed. I asked to be relocated but the phone rep said they said they had no space left at the property. We were told housekeeping would take care of the problem and we could not occupy the property while it was being cleaned. We stayed out of the rental for 6 hours (we were asked to vacate at 9 a.m.), but it was 22 hours between our request for a sanitary place to sleep before someone showed up (a borrowed employee from another hotel) only to change sheets and vacuum. Thankfully American Express, (the booking agent), contacted the supervisor and got someone in immediately to clean. To this date, I received a $100 credit for the inconvenience but no response to my request to speak with supervisor (3 days!). I write this review in hopes that other families consider seriously what they see online vs. what they get.

I stayed in this hotel on December 16
I stayed in this hotel on December 16, 2023 and Philadelphia Pennsylvania area to Whitman. My stuff was stolen. I was told to put it in a locker which I did I said the code it was locked I come back to get my stuff and it has been taken. They took everything for me. The hotel is a piece of crap they do not help they say they’re not responsible for my stuff getting installed in, but they did not read me the rules and regulations they did not have me sign anything stating that anything got taken they were not responsible for it. This hotel is horrible. I filed a police report. I cannot get anybody to get in touch with me to help me I would really really recommend you do not stay at this hotel. If anything goes wrong, you are out of luck. Do not stay here.

Where is my refund??!
Be very careful with this company. I booked 2 apartments in Rome, they took the full amount from my credit card and they cancelled the reservation from one day to the other. I am still waiting for a refund, they said maybe I will have my money back in 2 weeks?!!

Stayed at The Nash in New York
Stayed at The Nash in New York. Unit was very old and run down. Bathroom tub had mold all around the base grout. Floors ancient and worn. This was my first stay. For the rate of $500/night I should have stayed in a hotel with better accommodations. I chose Sonder based on a friends recommendation. Never again.

The Airbnb from hell
My worst Airbnb experience in 10 countries. This rental is from a large company called Sonder. I wish we had reviewed their hundreds of bad reviews on Trustpilot before renting from them. Once we discovered the bad reviews they refused to let us cancel. Next, they required that we check in on a questionably unsecure third party platform (including ID and biometrics) which was not disclosed in the entry. The unit was dirty when we arrived, not cleaned even after discussed with the host and they refused to bring us cleaning supplies to clean it ourselves. The unit we stayed in was not the same as the unit in the pictures and it did not have the listed amenities - for example no heat. Our kids both got colds while staying here. The laundry room was not stocked with soap as disclosed in the listing. It was impossible to get an answer out of Sonder. Each reply was a different person in a call center, with a different canned / automatic reply. Run away from Sonder.

La ropa que dejé en el armario desapareció
Me he dejado ropa en el armario, y me dicen que no vieron nada los de la limpieza, y yo misma fui quien puso la ropa allí, y me olvidé de mirar en el armario porque tenía prisa para llegar a tiempo al tren. Un disgusto muy grande y lo que hicieron dice mucho de una empresa.

My family booked Sonder’s Taman Condesa…
My family booked Sonder’s Taman Condesa for the week of my daughter’s September 2023 wedding. My daughter and her fiancé toured Taman in March 2023 and ultimately chose the property for its two bedroom units, location, and amenities. When viewing the building, they saw a sizable birthday party (with music, decorations, and catered food) being held on the rooftop deck. They were ecstatic to learn that parties of this sort are allowed to all guests of the property, and that they could host their tornaboda (day-after-wedding gathering) on the rooftop. Not only did they confirm this plan that day, but also in several phone conversations and written emails with Sonder staff leading up to their wedding later that year.
Fast forward to the day after the wedding: Caterers arrived at the double doors and check-in area only to be told parties were against “House Rules”, No “House Rules” were provided upon booking; the groom’s mother offered to host the caterers in her private unit. We told guests to grab a plate and head to the roof. This plan did not work long as the Taman front desk locked access to the roof. Guests were stuck in the hallway with plates of hot food until we decided on Plan C: the courtyard. We ate and chatted in the common space courtyard. We tried to access the other common areas and those too were locked. We were guests that had paid to stay there and have use of their facilities but were told we couldn't use any. We congregated in the lower grassy area when a very large man who claimed to be the manager asked us, "how many of you are staying here at this property?" There were about 15 of us who all raised our hands. He asked me what my room number is and I gave it to him, so did the rest. He said that we were not allowed to be there or anywhere in their common areas because we got a group rate/package and therefore we do not have use of any of their amenities. I never saw that verbiage when booking our reservations for us, family members or friends (proof of receipts to corroborate). We were told to leave the area or we would be evicted and they would call the police. He said that we were being loud which we have videos to corroborate those lies. We did as he said. I happened to leave my Tom Ford sunglasses in all the chaos on the small table, which one of our friends said they saw the very large man pick them up. I went to the front desk to ask for them and they said they didn't have them, I left without them and a $450 loss. We went back to our room, and a moment later we hear a knock and answered, it's the same very large man that said we have 30 minutes to evict. We were shocked! We complied with him when they told us to leave the grassy area and now we are told to leave! We had a full weeks booking; so did most of our guests. My other daughter, husband, along with her a 3 year old daughter and 2 year old toddler twins were also asked to leave and given 30 minutes. Three toddlers and all the stuff that comes with it, 30 minutes to evict. There were 7 families that were evicted. In the midst of the chaos, my daughter’s wedding bouquet, party decorations, children’s toys, and personal belongings were damaged or left behind and never returned by the front desk. Even when exiting the premises we were met with rude expressions by staff who refused to open doors, they were locked. After packing in a rush, we tried to use the elevators and they were shut off, did they expect us to descend the 8 stories of stairs, with our luggage, wedding stuff, toddler toys, strollers, etc.? When we got to the lobby, we loaded the children into the lift in their strollers, and a man yells, “you are not allowed to use!” WHAT?!?! He also turned off the power. At this point the children are screaming because of all the chaos associated with this eviction. Thank goodness we did slip and fall down those stairs with everything in tote.
The mother who hosted the tornaboda was met by an employee in her room who started to push her around. After that scene finished, they attempted to use the elevators and they were still shut off; she had her 82 year old mother with her. No where in the United States would these kind of actions been permitted. We have reached out to Sonder and have sent emails to them for all of them to go unheeded. I hate to think we were targeted, but I believe on the contrary. Mexico tourism will also be hearing about this terrible experience.
