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.

Okay

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.

Adequate and Helpful Staff

Staff was very helpful. Rooms are spacious and in main part of Laguna Beach. Coffee Makers were a bit old. Would have been nice to have a microwave in room.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Sonder La Ensenada. It is conveniently located that is walkable to so many cute shops, restaurants and of course the beach! I loved their app that made check in so easy. They also gave really good recommendations for things to do. They have a front desk that is 24/7 if you need anything like extra towels or coffee. I like the refreshed minimalist design of the rooms. We had a small sugar ant situation after spilling the smallest of coffee on the counter that persisted our stay. The hotel is right on the PCH so you will hear traffic but they offer ear buds by your bed which is sweet. They don’t do daily room cleans which wasn’t a huge deal but we were there for four nights so i wish a cleaning service was included after so many nights. The hot tub was amazing and hot each time we went in. Overall, i would recommend if you are an easy going traveler.

The room was nice albeit basic. Good sized shower and bathroom but a funky smell coming from the pipes. Bed was very comfortable. The 4th floor landing had a great view bit there was a fair amount of construction materials around the property.
