    The modern décor of The William Powered By Sonder was charming, with warm tones and elegant touches that made the atmosphere inviting. Additionally, the accessible design made it easy for me to navigate throughout the property.

    More assistance with luggage handling would be helpful.

    steep stairs

    But goodness, getting my luggage up those steep stairs felt like an Olympic sport! And don’t even get me started on the elusive water in my room—who needs hydration anyway?

    perfect spot near grand central and flagship attractions

    I loved the easy access to Grand Central Terminal, only 500 meters away, and it was just a pleasant 1.5 km stroll to Times Square. the room was really comfy and full of light, making it a relaxing place to come back to after a day of exploring the city.

    modern decor
    central location
    dim lighting
    complicated coffee machine
    lack of information

    The spacious room featured modern decor and was clean and quiet, enhancing the overall experience. The speakeasy concept added a fun touch, and the central location made it convenient for meetings. However, the coffee machine was complicated to operate, and the bathroom lighting was dim, which made it less inviting. Additionally, there was a noticeable lack of information in the room regarding local attractions and services.

    nespresso machine

    Couples looking for comfort, look no further

    I gotta say the penthouse room was a huge win for me, had a Nespresso machine, nothing like that first coffee of the day. Plus the staff were super friendly, always greeted me right, made me feel like they actually valued me.

    Now, it wasn't exactly a bargain but given the location and what you get, it’s still reasonable.

    inviting atmosphere
    fun speakeasy
    spacious room
    check-in complications
    high prices
    limited service

    I recently stayed at Sonder for four nights. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from Grand Central Station. The room was spacious and modern, with a lovely decor that felt inviting. The bed was super comfortable, making it easy to get a good night's sleep. Having a speakeasy lounge on site added a fun element to my evenings. However, I faced a significant issue during check-in. I received conflicting messages about my room access codes, which left me locked outside at night for a while before getting any assistance. Service could be more responsive, especially during late hours. I noticed the absence of housekeeping, meaning I had to request fresh towels and any other essentials. While the on-site bar and restaurant looked appealing, the prices were a bit steep. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay despite some hurdles.
