Sonder The Hogg Palace

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
