Disliked: Amenities
I had a decent suite. I did find a bunch of dirty towels behind the bedroom table. There was men’s hair in the bedsheets. The suite rooms were very sparse in furnishings. The tub had zero temperature control. It was boiling hot. The toilet paper was like sandpaper. The pool was full of dead bugs. The view was great. However, I didn’t realize that the balcony was shared with everyone. Random guests would walk right up to my bedroom window and stare at me and my daughter first thing in the morning. Imagine being awaken to having a strange man standing in front of your window. They also did that in the sofa room. There was zero privacy. Great access to shopping and great restaurants. The staff couldn’t really give a rat’s behind about your stay.

We had a small issue with the cleanliness of the bathroom, but the staff instantly rectified this and offered a complimentary housekeeping halfway through our stay as well as instantly changing the issue. The facilities were great, we loved the pool and the jacuzzi, took advantage almost everyday. The club upstairs was also very convenient for any night we wanted to stay local. Our room was perfect for what we needed for this trip, with easy access to more towels or essentials at any time. Definitely would stay in a Sonder location again.

Hotel is in a great location! We checked in late, around 9:30pm. The lobby seemed very busy because there was a lively bar/restaurant. Our room was on the first floor, next to the "public" bathrooms. You can totally hear the noise from the hallway if you're in the room's bathroom, but once you're in bed, the noise isn't bad at all.

The parking situation is less than ideal, but that's understandable. Main problem is that although there is someone on staff downstairs, the number for the hotel goes to a different country. There is no phone in the room. You can only enter your code into the door and you don't receive a code. The checkout time that they have on file is different than what expedia says, so you get locked out of your room.

The perfect place to staycation
The Beacon by Sonder was an amazing place to stay! Right in the beach in Santa Monica and walking distance from the pier. The building is a restored art deco building and is so full of character. The room was small but had excellent amenities, including an amazing soaking tub. Loved the pool and restaurant! Because it’s an old building, it has some quirks. The walls were a bit thin and there water temperature had a mind of its own. Otherwise an excellent stay. So many good restaurants and shops are in walking distance. It’s an amazing spot to leave the car in valet for a weekend and staycation.
