Hotel was really nice! I loved the industrial look and amenities. It has a great location next to coffee shops and restaurants and steps aways from the subway station. Although, the room was tiny and the sink was outside of the bathroom, we enjoyed the stay a lot and all the staff member were so polite and helpful.

We had a great time staying here . There were plenty of food nearby . It was all great until the relationship with Marriott was severed on a Sunday afternoon , and my group was worried we would have to move places after running in a half marathon . Thank goodness we were able to stay that night . The staff was was friendly especially during this time

Lacks charm and many of the typical amenities of a hotel, with small rooms and weak AC, but just as they say in real estate, hotels in New York are all about “Location, location, location…” and the Sonder in Gowanus is one of the few hotels with great access to Park Slope! So let’s be honest, I’ll likely be back!

Shower was awesome and loved having pump bottle soaps in the shower. Parking was very convenient, reasonably priced and very near the property. Many places to eat and buy necessary items. Could use more hooks for hanging towels and clothing items. We really like this place.
