Great option in Philly!
I had a business conference in the city and the Witherspoon provided a great option. It was good value with a spacious and clean room. Lots of options to eat in the area, including the reading terminal market. Appreciated the luggage storage option, which I used before checking in and after check out.
It’s my first time staying with Sonder and I found their app very easy to use and informative.

Great space and in a fab location.
It was the cleanest place we have stayed in our 4 weeks so far.
It was a new experience for us having codes etc but they do have luggage storage which was a bonus
Loved our stay here.
Would use Sonder again and again

This is a great option for a stay in Philly. There were 3 of us for a girls trip, two shared the bedroom and one was on the sofa bed. It was helpful to have space to spread out, washer/dryer and kitchenette! Plus the lounges and free luggage storage. We were able to use our code to get back in the building past check out up to 10pm so helpful if you have a later flight. We didn't get cleaning service for some reason and I couldn't request late check out which was a bummer.. Overall I would definitely stay again.

Convenient but very noisy
The location is quite good for food and walking around to City hall. But it was very noisy with "live band" almost every night from 11pm to 2am. There were also noisy cars and horn honking in the middle of the night until early morning.

Great location and apartment
Excellent location with a really good kitchen plus washer and dryer both of which came with washing up liquid/laundry detergent. There was also a living room area with a sofa to sit in the evening if not going out which makes a change from sitting on the bed to watch TV.
Added to this there is are left luggage lickers on 4 floors so if you've arrived in Philadelphia long before check-in but left after check out, you can leave your luggage and collect it again at you're own leisure without having to wait for someone to get it for you.

If you are looking for a quiet corner of Philly this isn’t it, especially if you have the misfortune of staying at this location on a Wednesday night during the summer, when the surrounding neighborhood streets explode into a wild and noisy party, complete with police sirens, racing cars and music that neither the earplugs (provided by the property) or the white noise machine (also provided) could dampen. On a Thursday or Friday, things calm down to a dull roar, consistent with what one might expect for an urban hotel room.
Apartment style rooms are nicely outfitted with everything you need, though. making for a cozy if noisy stay. And the location gets high marks for walking to many of Philly sights.

Good locatio
The property was ideally located, within walking distance of the things we wanted to see. The unit was clean and as shown in the description. Unfortunately, the neighborhood was very loud at night, as was the HVAC unit.
