My granddaughter wanted to live her full-time. The bed was comfortable and so was the pull out couch. The washer are dryer were both manufactured by Bosch. We had a full kitchen with an ice maker. The wires inside our toaster had been tangled before we got there, brought it downstairs, had a brand new one in our room the next day. As centrally located as possible since Philadelphia is somewhat spread out. Appreciated being able to leave my suitcase in a locker until time for check-in. Love the contactless of the process. Only problem is that people will hang outside trying to get in. Concerning when you see all the people sleeping on the sidewalk.

We had a great stay at Sonder The Witherspoon, the second time I have booked this accommodation. The booking and check in process were easy, and the location was very convenient in the center of the city, with easy access to great restaurants, Reading Terminal Market, Macy’s, City Hall, and public transportation. The apartment felt like staying at home with all the necessary amenities plus a kitchen for cooking some of our own meals. The bed was very comfy and a noise machine and ear plugs were provided for light sleepers. Do realize that this Sonder is located in a nightlife district. We also really appreciated the luggage storage on the day we departed. Overall an excellent experience and stay, and we would gladly book again!

I was there with my husband. Second time staying with Sonder. Please make tv available without an app, especially one with Chinese connections on my device. We never opted in. My husband worked all the options to maneuver, I am sight impaired (easily 10% of the population) and had no option to access, and stay without anyone without a disability. Great digs & concepts, please be more sensitive.

The place was very clean, homey and welcoming. Location was excellent- multiple parking options in garages, close to variety of restaurants and drinking establishments! Lighting in bed room could be a bit more Would stay here again no doubt!

Great experience at Sonder! The room was very clean and had everything you need. No issues while staying. Comfortable bed, lots of room in the place, clean bathroom. Overall a fabulous experience. It is loud at night but the noise machine and ear plugs were great! Would stay again!

Great location for public transit and sightseeing; ease of check in, comfort and cleanliness of room, and convenient luggage storage 10/10. Appreciated the provided white noise machine and ear plugs as nearby bar had music every night. No issue for me, but light sleepers may want a high room. My only quibble is that the essentials cabinet was empty our entire stay. We went to a nearby Trader Joes and bought coffee so easy but annoying fix for our morning coffee. Would stay again.

The check-in process was super easy and the Sonder was clean and well-stocked. We dropped off our luggage in the luggage storage before checking in, which was convenient. The only minor annoyance was the noise level - there was more than the typical amount of city noise even past midnight. Thankfully, ear plugs and a white noise machine were available, and made it easier to get to sleep.
