I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location is perfect — very convenient and close to everything I needed. The staff were professional and friendly, and the overall atmosphere made me feel very comfortable. The room was clean, well-maintained, and offered great value. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for both comfort and convenience.

The hotel is located in a nice spot, very close to the beach and the main beach in Laguna. The room was relatively spacious and clean. Really good service and assisstance!

My worst experience with hotels ever! No service means you are not welcome. But they gladly take your money: $863.62 for 3 nights ! Dark room with old mattress, no table and chair for computer work. No soap, but 3 shampoo bottles, and a MAJOR electrical code issue in the bathroom: an electrical outlet above the water faucet! (That's dangerous)! Access with code does not always work, and we were almost stranded the first evening outside the premises. Nobody present to help. We had to call "customer service" in Philippines which turned out to be incompetent

My mother stayed at Sonder visiting me, I live down the street. 1st TV didn’t work,only works if you sign into Netflix or other accounts. No news channels. 2nd there is no signage in the elevator like a normal hotel, floor 1 LOBBY 0r Floor 2 parking or Floor 3 Pool and ice. No signs to parking. Not good for disability’s, bathtub shower. Combination door entrance not good for challenged humans. Room nice and clean.

The pictures make this property look remarkable, however when you arrive you clearly learn what a ‘Catfish’ you booked! The property appears run down, rooms smell terrible - 3 room changes and can confirm, all the same. It is for the most part a self serve hotel - you get essentials from a cabinet, no cleaning service, and if you arrive or have a problem between 11pm and 7am…Good Luck Chuck…No one is here to help; thats tight, no staff, and the customer service phone people are completely worthless! Too many hoops and rules to go through vs the service one has come to expect from Marriott. Pricing, well comparable to Holiday Inn in the local market without the benefits and service. All in all…scratching the Sonder locations from any future stay…just not worth the hassle!!!

If you are going to stay on the first floor — beware. It's like an expensive prison. Bare walls, you feel like you are underground, the lights don't stay on, etc. The bed had crumbs in it. The side tables had a bunch of stains. I understand this hotel is one of a cheapest option for the Laguna area, but the establishment could put in just a *small* amount of effort to make the rooms nice. Will not be coming back.

Great location just steps from the beach and close to shops and restaurants. The room was clean, modern, and comfortable, with easy self-check-in. Loved the quiet vibe and convenient parking. Perfect for a relaxed Laguna Beach stay—would definitely come back!
