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.

Where should I start? The mold in the bathroom or the lack of noise insulation between rooms? You can hear the TV from next door room like if it was in your room. When trying to call the lobby, I was rerouted to a call center talking to a useless agent...

Great for the price but noisy

The location is great, the price is great, the staff is helpful and friendly, they have a microwave, utensils and water available if you’re trying to save a few bucks by not eating out for every meal. However, I slept with earplugs in and still barely got any sleep because of all the noise both in the building and outside. The place is really beat up and the price you pay is reflected in the condition of the rooms. If you are saving money and want to enjoy Laguna Beach, this is a good spot, just anticipate the noise.

GREAT LOCATION BUT NEEDS SOME REPAIRS

Service was great upon arrival. Location was great. Bed was comfortable. Our room was located right next to the pool equipment, so it was a bit noisy. The room needed some repairs as the bathroom door and baseboards were rotted out. The shower leaks all over the bathroom floor. The room smelled damp & musty.
