Reply to comment by LFKhael in Anyone have experience with Sonder? by ISOtrails

When they opened the bldg next to me they’d rent to anyone- COVID parties , trash everywhere. I’ve had friends stay there for a week or two from California- they said it was okay- not the best - but serviceable…

My issue is don’t take my money then deny me with 3 hours before check in

This is not useful advice in hindsight, but if you live right nearby, one thing to try is to walk right in, in person (during a non-busy time) and talk directly to the humans at the desk. Say you live nearby, you need to stay away from home a few night because of the exterminators or whatever the reason is, and you wonder if they accept bookings from local neighbors.

If they have a 100% inflexible policy about this, then they should be able to tell you up front - if they can put a note in your file with info about why you're booking or a manager can override something, then you'll know that on the spot.

Thank you for taking the time to suggest this. Sonder is all digital- through apps. There is no traditional ‘front desk’. They made me download an app after confirming my email, drivers license and blood type ( kidding about blood type).
