Better Than Expected But Not Great
My first time staying at a Sonder property, and while I'm not sure I would choose it over a more traditional hotel again, I was very impressed by how well the "staffless hotel" concept worked - I was able to walk right in and go straight to my room without wasting time checking in or anything like that. The room was a perfect size - not too big or too small - and the bed was comfortable, but the bathroom could definitely use some attention (tiles were cracked and even missing along the edges, the faucet in the tub was... precarious). Overall, though, it was a nice place to stay, especially for the price.

Room is fine but needs blackout blinds!
The windows need black out blinds. The lights right outside the window illuminated the room the whole night even with the provided blinds closed.

We asked to have the television remote two days in a row. No one came to fix it.

When I booked the room, I got an email asking me to do some pre-registration but it linked to a website with an error message. I responded to report the error message but didn't get a response. When I showed up, I realized there was no on-site staff and had to go through a long and frustrating call/online registration process to get into my room. Once I got in, the light switch didn't turn on any lights. Fortunately the bathroom light and one of the floor lamps worked but I didn't want to bother calling the help line again so I just managed with those. The room was comfortable and quiet enough but the check-in was extremely frustrating.

The public facility inside the hotel was beautiful. My issue was the hotel room that I reserved. It was not cleaned to the proper standard. It looked like all linen such as sheets and towels were not changed from the previous guest. Most items appeared to be clean (but I quickly found out was not). Thankfully I brought my own sanitary supplies. I am happy to accommodate my review with photos that I took during my first and last stay at this hotel.

Not the quality I've come to expect from Sonder
I have stayed at other Sonder locations and have been very impressed, which made this one disappointing in comparison. It seemed much more cheaply furnished and had stains on the carpet and cracks in the shower basin. The room also didn't have the basic amenities that I would expect in a hotel (e.g. no iron, no fridge, no closet/dresser, etc.). For the price of this location, I expected a better value, especially considering it's not on a convenient Metro line.

Mediocre stay
Apartment is very small, in an old building.on the bus route, and a street away from 17th on which various dining options are available. Smelly shower curtain, and musty carpets. Lighting not adequate.

We picked the hotel for location and price. Everything was clean and check in was seamless. For the price point you can’t get much better if you’re looking to stay in DuPont Circle. We’d happily come back if we are in DC again.

The neighborhood was quaint and quiet. I just wish there was someone always present to help us out with baggages or if we have questions. The room was simple but kinda lacked lighting. Complimentary slippers would’ve been nice too

My search with Expedia was for the Dupont Circle hotel, a hotel in which I have stayed several times in the past. However, I was mislead and reserved instead at the Dupont Circle hotel powered by Sonder. When I visited the hotel I thought I had reserved they couldn’t find the reservation. I went to the other one which was awful. I called Expedia who I was very helpful and tried to cancel the reservation but the hotel refused, therefore had to pay again for the original hotel. The name is misleading, trying to get customers from the other hotel. They shouldn’t be allowed to appear in Expedia or any other sites with that name.
