We stayed this past weekend! I was a bit nervous after reading the most current reviews but as we checked in there was someone in the office that was available for assistance if needed. Our room was on the bottom floor, very nice and clean. I had a question about luggage on the day of checkout and used the chat option in the Sonder app and received a response back. Amazing location. I would highly recommend staying here.
