Sonder The Marin0

If you’re looking to be in the heart of the gas lamp, there probably is no Better place to stay. Unassuming from the outside; we had a whole apartment to ourselves, that was spacious and comfortable, clean and modern. Definitely will be booking this place again next time I’m in San Diego. Literally between all the bars and the nightlife, a few blocks down from Perco park. Thank you Sonder, I’ve been using your properties and services more and more as I travel the states.

Very clean and comfortable room in a good location. Nice kitchen facilities and free WiFi

The room was located above a busy bar, it didn’t bother my friend at all but it did make it a little hard for me to fall asleep. The hotel did provide earplugs for this reason so I still had a good sleep but I wish this aspect was slightly better advertised as I wasn’t expecting it. The air conditioning was also very loud so bring good earplugs if you plan to stay here.

My Niece and I had stayed in San Diego for about 4 nights. We had booked another room but they only had a few of the days we needed available so we booked the Sonder for the remaining days. I have never stayed in San Diego before but the Sonder was in the PERFECT location! Located right in in the middle of Gaslamp. My niece is underage and I don't drink so we thought the noise from the restaurants downstairs was going to be loud since its about a bunch of places people would like to go eat and drink at but surprisingly it wasn't loud at all. They supplied a sound machine and I believe I saw earbuds in case you wanted to cancel out the noise. The bed was comfortable, the restroom was nice and so was the whole aesthetic of the apartment as a whole. My niece and I both found this place completely adorable! And in the morning it was nice to just go and eat at whatever restaurants are right below you and enjoy all that San Diego has to offer in that area. Definitely will book again if I ever decide to stay in San Diego again. I'm not a city girl I prefer the mountains but staying at this place made my first time staying in the city worth it!

Only complaint I have to say was the hallway and the elevator leading up to our room had a nasty smell. The smell didn't make it into the rooms thank goodness but my niece and I had to cover our noses to avoid the smell. Not sure its something they can control as they are in-between business and food places.

First of all, the apartment was very very clean. Kudos for the cleaners! I also loved how it was decorated, really nice and cosy. The fact that you can stream your own netflix on the big televison is very cool. How neat the cutlery was stored in a wooden tray in a drawer says all about the amount of attention they give to detail! How you think about the location depends on where you're from. It is in the middle of a street that has a big 'spring break' vibe. Lots of clubs and bars that go on till late. Coming from a city myself I do not mind, but if you're from a more rural area you might find it a bit overwhelming. For all the Europeans that like a decent cup of coffee, the Cuban place next to the entrance of the building has fantastic real coffee from a proper espresso machine ánd great home made cakes! There outside area is perfect to sip your coffee while watching al that's going on in the street. The apartment is on 5th avenue that is very central near the trams and bus stops that can bring you anywhere in and around San Diego. Visit Balboa Parc in the weekend!

My apartment was on the 4th floor on the back of the building, seemingly directly under the big ventilator connected to the restaurants downstairs. This machine creates a thick low humming noise the whole day through. However, Sonder provides good working ear plugs that helped me through the first night. The 2nd night I was already used to it and barely noticed the hum any more.

Loved the location. Very little noise compare to all the pubs and restaurants on the street. Was expecting way more noise. I just put ear plugs and i slept like a baby. Very quiet in the morning and day. Very clean with everything you need. Kitchen fully equipped. Easy to check in and out, nice spaces, really spacious. Confortable bed and blankets. Attention to details. Awesome stay. Will be back.

No windows in the apartment except one in the bedroom. It doesn't bother unless you cook. Then it smells in the whole apartment.

The design is beautiful and comfortable — the 4 of us felt great despite small floor plan. The kitchen has the most necessary appliances, the bathroom is gorgeous, the soap and shampoo are wonderful. Kids enjoyed sleeping on the sofa and we loved the bed and soft pillows. The codes for locks worked perfectly, great idea! Finally we were granted early check-in upon arrival, got it confirmed through the app free of charge!

I wasn't ready for that amount of noise from neighbouring bar and night club. They kept yelling, shouting in a microphone and turning music on maximum until over 3 a.m. Then people were collecting bottles clinking the glass loudly and at 5 a.m. the street cleaning started. This place is nice inside and perfect for guests who want to party the nights away. The other thing is the cleaning fee we pay and get dusty floors on arrival — our socks turned black after 5 minutes walking inside. That was a surprise.

- Clean - The bed was SO comfortable - Ease of check in and check out - Self check-in - Kitchenette, provided dishes and utensils, mini-fridge, electric stove - Provided soaps smelled good - Closet with luggage rack and shelves - Google Chromecast on the TV so you could watch TV without having to sign into your accounts. Just cast from your phone to the TV. - Free wifi - We were warned ahead of time that the hotel is above a nightclub and is loud on weekends. Staying downtown is always loud on weekends so if noise bothers you, this is not the neighborhood you want to stay in. - In the middle of the action

- The bathroom could get a bit stuffy so make sure that when not in use you leave the door open - I wish the linens (towels and sheets) were softer cotton. They were pretty basic quality— not bad but not good. I have sensitive skin so this is more of a preference than a necessity but it does not cost that much to buy at least decent quality cotton towels and sheets. You can get it from Target. - I wish they notified/warned us that on the date we went the whole block was barricaded for a block party because we were unable to park on that street. I would have brought a roller suitcase if I knew I’d have to park a few blocks away and pay $50/day for parking. The cheaper parking structures were either full or were inaccessible because of the barricades.

Everything was amazing, so much space, loved the living room area and the view was great! so much space!

the only thing is the noise from the Pub downstairs at night. the bedroom is right above it so we had to sleep on the pull out couch one night and then use the earplugs and wave machine to cancel out the noise the other two nights.

Great location in the heart of the Gaslamp District. First time using Sonder, but the process was easy to get into the room. Very clean, comfy bed, plenty of space - couldn't ask for much more.

Not a complaint in any way, as I chose the location specifically because I wanted to be in the heart of nightlife, but the location was right above a restaurant-turns-nightclub, so there was quite a bit of noise. I didn't mind it, but just know that you'll definitely hear some revelry below you!

The accessibility to the hotel (use of codes) and that we were close to everything. Plus having a kitchenette and small living room area. Love that everything was electronic.

Just a very loud area because of being in the middle of the Gaslamp Quarter. Other than that there was nothing else we didn't like. 😊
