College dorm room or hotel room?

My hotel room was at the end of a corridor that felt like it was a walled off corner of the parking lot. The room itself felt creepy and overall poorly maintained. The air conditioning was broken, and in its place was a tiny portable heater and fan. Maybe the upstairs rooms are nicer, but if you have to stay in room 110, don’t!

Couldn't get into our room!

Underwhelmed by this stay. The first and second levels were updated in the hallways and shared spaces, but the 3rd floor, where we stayed, was under heavy construction. It was a mess. Elevator was loud and slow. We couldn't get into our room and had to call for a new code. New code only worked once, so we had to get a key fob from the front desk (luckily someone was there). That only allowed us into the building but not our room. We had to get a physical room key. Then the shower had no body wash. I text to request some and was simply told "we don't have any at this time." with no other solutions. And lastly, I was unable to request a later check out and was directed only to the app which was unhelpful. Not the experience we were expecting in Laguna Beach. I recommend they figure things out quickly.

Great location close to all that Laguna Beach offers. Some minor renovations going on but not intrusive to my experience at this great place, steps from the beach!

For the price I don’t think it’s the worst place to stay, since it’s so close to everything. However, the room was not as renovated/new as the pictures lead you to believe. We had a trail of ants inside the room and couldn’t have food sitting for more than 2 minutes before it became infested with ants. The bathroom also had a strong odor of mildew.

Workers woke us up early talking loud. The shower was minimalist and made a mess with water splashing. For the cost I wish it was a better experience.

The room was very noisy from the traffic on pacific coast highway and I could hear loud tv noise coming from other rooms. I had to leave early to catch my flight this morning before checking out and there was no hot water in the hotel so I had a long day of travel without a shower. The sink had a sewer smell coming from it but the maintenance person came right away.

Stayed for 4 nights. Room 310. The property clearly has differed maintenance. Our room was seriously neglected. Very dated decor and design. Everything needed updating. Room was on PCH and the street noise was awful. If all the rooms are like this one I’d never stay here again. Such a shame because the area is great but with so many options for hotels Sonder really needs to do better.
