Great place to stay near downtown
Great stay. Building and apartment was clean. The 1 bedroom apartment with office was beautiful and well appointed. Parking is on street only and is limited. Great neighborhood though, plenty of restaurants, shops, etc. within walking distance.

Excellent Location & Stay
We stayed here for the Eagles parade and it was absolutely perfect. The beds are super comfortable and the apartment was roomy and had everything that was needed. For the prior complaints about noise, I think it's somewhat unrealistic of expectations. It's in a dense part of a major city and will have major city noise. Having grown up in Philadelphia and staying with two five year olds, we had no issues with noise during sleep. Would gladly stay here again.

Sonder for a great experience
Had a great experience staying at Sonder and the communication was seamless when there was an issue with one of the utilities. It was fixed asap and the rest of my stay was great and comfortable

The place is very nice. However, the walls are paper thin and the noise from the street below is unbearable. They left us earplugs and we figured out why the first night! Impossible to sleep with the noise. Beds were uncomfortable as well.

Very nice experience. Appliances, free wifi, cleanliness, proximity to Philadelphia center. The app is very convenient and user friendly. The rooftop is just wonderful. We are already looking forward to booking Sonder appartments elsewhere in and outside the US.

Good place but very loud
Place was in a pretty good location and walkable to most of downtown Philly. The room was in good condition and comfortable, a good size, and I liked the beds. The only problem was that it is extremely loud staying here. It’s right on the main road in Philly so there is lots of traffic, a subway that seemingly goes by every 5 minutes all day and most of the night right under the building, and a fire station right next door. If you’re a light sleeper then you won’t get any sleep at all, but if you’re a sound sleeper it won’t be as bad.

Stayed here for a girls night in Philly. Room was super cute and clean. Beautiful views of the city as well. The rooftop area was so serene and picturesque. Checking in and out of the building was effortless. The only downside is the parking around the building as we did have to park blocks away but overall I would highly recommend!

Good value for the money
The Sonder Ovation was a perfect choice for us. We needed two bedrooms and bathrooms in a central location, and Sonder fit the bill. The payment was competitive with the cost of a single room in this general area of the city. The downside is the lack of on-site hotel authority and the need to call a central Sonder number to resolve problems—like room code difficulties or raucous neighbors. Overall, this was our second stay at the Ovation and we would stay there again.
