I love how secure the building is. It was clean and cozy; love that it was apartment like and fully equipped. In a good walkable area. Found a close by parking lot (Adams & Wabash self park) - it’s a 3 minute walk. Plenty food and coffee shop options.
Where do I start? From the noise from the trains ALL DAY AND NIGHT!! The stench from the cigar lounge on the second floor throughout the whole building and the black mold in the shower, not to mention we believe the building was haunted as the fan and light in the bedroom area kept going on and off by itself, creepy and terrible all together. STAY AWAY from this place.

Stayed here before the start of our Route 66 trip. No reception and was sent check in instructions which were clear. Had 1 apartment and 1 studio. Close to everything and felt really safe.

Great for first time Chicago visitors!
We had a wonderful stay. It was such a convenient location and perfect for our needs. The noise of the El did not bother us at night, as it is fairly consistent and sounded like the wind. Perfect home base.
The cigar shop smell is REALLY strong, but once we exited the elevator we did not smell it on the third floor.
The property itself is great, and had a great view of the city. No complaints there.
It should be noted that the train is very close and will be loud as it passes by, not an huge issue for us, and the property did include earplugs and white noise machines.
One quirk we encountered was the fan in the bed room would randomly turn to full speed and the light would turn on in the middle of the night, this did wake us up when it would happen, and we couldn't trace as to why this was happening.
Overall great property, and the next time we are in town, we will most likely book this property again.

Great location
The location was excellent for trips to Millenium Park, Art Institute and theaters. We had problems with wifi that didn't get resolved, but the overall stay was fine.
Sonder check in experience as a first timer was super easy! Great instructions and no issues entering or exiting the property. Property was in great condition with all the amenities you could need. Only downside was the cigar bar downstairs... you could at certain times of day smell the cigar scent in our room upstairs. Not a huge issue, but if you were sensitive to the smell it would not be ideal.

NOT a hotel, just priced like one.
THIS IS NOT A HOTEL. There is NO staff. There are signs on the walls claiming that you can call talk to someone any time, but if you call the number it tells you to use the app, but the app says call the number. NOBODY will help you. I tried to cancel but there is NO way to get out of the reservation. On the outside it is easy to miss because it's just a plain door with a small sign, basically an old tenement bldg. It is supposed to be a smoke-free property but I was breathing HEAVY smoke EVERY time I was in there, you certainly can't open windows, and again, no staff and no way to cancel my reservation, It was so bad I had to use a telemed doctor and walk to Walgreens and get a rescue inhaler. Getting in and out was a huge ordeal because you need to use a code on your phone every single time. The water pressure in the shower was almost nothing. The place was clean but the two upholstered chairs in the kitchen were filthy (one was broken). Bed was hard as rock and no way to adjust thermostat (set at 68F) I am beyond furious with no recourse. If I knew it was an unstaffed tenement I would NEVER have booked it. Worst "hotel" stay ever. And by the way if there is no staff it should NOT be priced this high, there is literally nothing to justify the crazy high cost.

Check in was terrible: I could not get in my room, and it took a long time for the phone support to get me in. Once I got in the room was nice.
I so enjoyed staying on jewelers row at the Sonder property In Chicago. It was very close to the places I was visiting so I could walk everywhere. It was noisy because of the L train, yes, but when you’re inside, you Barely hear the train. I felt very safe getting into the building and getting up to my room. It was so well appointed. You thought of everything! I just wish I had longer than three days in Chicago and I hope to come back. I would rent the same apartment again without a doubt!
Sonder Jewelers Row was perfect for my 3 night stay in Chicago. It’s right next to millennium park which is a perfect visit after landing to start the trip. They are right next to most major public transit systems which is much more economical than taking Lyft or taxi around the city to most major attractions and dining experiences.
The room was clean and equipped with a full kitchen and amenities if you’re looking for a more intimate and extended Chicago experience. You can easily cook several meals to save some money.
The wash room was clean and provided the essential soap, hair products, and even a tube of complimentary lotion.
This location was also located above a cigar shop if you’re into that. The aroma can be smelled from street.
Loved it. Thank you!

First and last time for Sonder
Broken central air, TV would not work properly, dryer vent had a red light lit indicating it was faulty, nonworking coffee pot that leaked all over the kitchen counter, pasta sauce splatter on the wall in the kitchen, glass globes in the bathroom were filthy. They placed a portable AC floor unit in the studio apartment that was loud enough all night that I couldn’t sleep. You’re only way of contacting them for issues is by texting. Very frustrating method of communication. Need I say more? For four hundred a night, never again. At least in a hotel, I could pick up the phone or walk down to the front desk for assistance. To me, Sonder is a complete rip off and not priced appropriately.
I recommend this property overall. The only negative detail about our stay was that there was a large air conditioning unit on the floor in the main living/kitchen area. It was very loud. However, without out it, I assume the rental would not be as comfortable temperature wise.

Honestly, the only thing going for this property is the proximity to landmarks and train stations. There’s no lobby, no bathrooms while you wait for your room. Elevator was super slow and broke down while we were there. We had to go up and down 5 flights of stairs. Then we needed a code to get into each floor from the stairs and the chat team had to retrieve it because they didn’t know it. The sink in the bathroom was clogged and overall the cleanliness needs improvement. Their slogan is “a better way to stay” and I have to disagree. It’s definitely just “a way to stay” but Sonder properties always need so much more care and attention.
