The Sonder pre registration process is invasive. They want you to submit lots of personal information, but it's not really anything that you don't give to Motel 6 in person. They just need to communicate better as the Internet is a scary place. Maybe some statements as to the security compliances they hold!?!?

Top 5 hotel I ever stayed at
One of the best “hotels” I ever stayed at. Can’t say enough good things. It does have only a chrome cast tv so was worthless and little hard to find but roomy, comfy, and has all the extras you don’t expect in a hotel. And location is perfect.

Great location and comfortable beds!
Loved our apartment at Sonder! The bed was very comfortable. The access was easy. Location was great. I just wished the apartment had a few more kitchen items like a filtered water pitcher or spices or a few things to make staying there for more days a little easier! Also the water pressure was a little light in the shower. But I loved the space itself and the location!
