We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-night stay at Sonder The Hogg Palace in Houston. The loft's cleanliness, thoughtful setup, and comfortable amenities contributed to a great experience. The bed and bathroom were particularly noteworthy.

However, we were disappointed by the persistent marijuana smell in the building, despite the clear prohibition in the guidelines. It would be beneficial if there were measures in place to enforce this rule and ensure a completely smoke-free environment for all guests.

I loved the style of this property. Because it’s a loft it allowed me to live out my loft dreams for 3 days and 2 nights. We got a whole 1 bed 1 bath living room and kitchen for $300 that’s a great deal in my eyes.

I did not like the sofa that was in the unit. It had some stains and some rips so we were not comfortable sitting on it. Instead to watch power on it we threw our top flat sheet over it to feel a bit more comfortable.

I love that this property is a hotel and airbnb combined! Super spacious apartment but no list of checkout cleanup. A decade long user of airbnbs, I have always said this would be the ideal. Thank you Wyndham for offering it!

I don’t think the property is entirely finished yet so it was a bit rough around the edges but the apartment itself was well prepared and lovely. I would certainly stay here again. Stainless steel pans are awesome (but I wasn’t prepared for that with oil or butter and one night is too short to buy it). Dishwasher. Laundry. I mean really a great space that is huge inside. Front desk personnel were very friendly and helpful both when I checked in and checked out. Parking garage under the apartments ticked my last box.

Great location, great staff and amazing amenities. I felt that on a four week holiday that I wasn’t in a hotel and had a homely feel. Staff very friendly and helpful. Amazing coffees and great location.

Nothing directly about the property, but if you contact the number try not to press option 1 unless required. Suspect the booking team is offshore, when I spoke with them they couldn’t understand or help me. Called back pressed 2 for front desk and the team sorted my question in less than 30 seconds, highly recommend staying here over any other hotel.

There was no breakfast available, although booking.com sign up indicated that SOME rooms had that option available. Saw no place to choose that...confusing! Location WAS EXCELLENT.

There were NO pictures of the specific units available, and WITH no clarification of which room that is pictured. Also other pictures of the area need to be identified as to what you are viewing. Need explanations of what relationship it has to this specific property!

Not what I expected at all. This is a largish apartment with a kitchen/breakfast bar, sitting area, laundry room (seperate washer and dryer), huge closet, bathroom. The ceilings are very high and there's a strong post-industrial vibe to the place. There is no reception and all the doors have coded entry. I arrived a 4am to a new building in a new city and the code to my room wasn't accepted. However, the helpline number I called was answered quickly by a helpful human being who, after security checks, re-programmed the door and I could enter. I enjoyed staying here but can see that it might not be everyones cup of tea. The hallway outside my apartment had no natural light and the decor was mainly concrete and steel so I felt it was a bit creepy but I should probably watch fewer horror films. They had put a Chrome Cast TV in my apartment which I hadn't seen anywhere else. I thought this was a great idea as I could cast my own movies and TV shows. Although I would say that I enjoy watching the local news when I'm in a city for the first time.

The accomodation clearly isn't set up to be like this but I do like having a staffed reception of some kind. It add a sense of security.

The loft design and location

Why you didn’t include the parking price from the beginning, that made me mad 😞

I travel to Houston monthly and have stayed here 2x. This is the only place I will stay from now on. The rooms are clean and massive, they are definitely over 1000 sqft. Full kitchen, TV, large tub with jets, clean bathroom. There are very few amenities, which is what separates it from a 5-star hotel, but it is surrounded by restaurants and bars. If you need something, you can find it within walking distance. If you're looking for an extended stay in downtown Houston, this is the best place.

The garage is small and parking is tight

Everything was very clean and the kitchen stuff (pot/spans/cutlery/dishes) were all newer and very clean. The dishwasher and laundry pair worked perfectly. Communication was prompt and we had no difficulty with entry. They provided cleaning materials, including enough detergent pods for several laundry and dishwasher loads. Bed was comfortable. Lots of light and tall windows. The curtains did a good job of blacking out the light in the living room. The location is excellent - close to everything downtown including walking paths, restaurants, CVS, etc. Loved Houston!

The bedroom is not "separate" as described in the booking.com listing. There is more information on the style of room on Sonder's website, but that same info should be in the booking listing. Our bed was in an alcove by the door - no solid fourth wall. As such, it is more difficult to control noise and hallway light. This would be even worse if someone was coming/going while the other sleeping. It would have been nice to have a dimmer on one of the lights in the living room area or over the island.

Self service approach, automated almost entirely. Car park had plenty of spots and was very convenient - ground floor entry and exit from street making it very convenient. The room was very spacious with a firm ‘industrial’ feel to it.

The mattress should be described as what it is - hard/firm. This might be an issue for some people as while I was fine with it, my wife found it uncomfortable. There was a lot of room in the 1br apartment though it felt quite thrown together with light switches in unusual places and entire rooms set aside for the AC - this was loud and was located next to the bed, causing some disruption.
