The Arco Hotel Midtown Village, Sonder

Hotels
The Arco Hotel Midtown Village, Sonder offers a unique, contactless stay in a building that has been partially updated. The hotel features basic rooms that are spacious and located in a great area close to major attractions, restaurants, bars, and public transportation. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds, functional temperature control, and the convenience of many outlets and an extension cord. The building's hands-off management approach suits independent travelers, with check-in managed via an app and digital room access, eliminating the need for a front desk. Guests can also store their bags after checkout or pay extra for late checkouts. However, the hotel has some drawbacks. The building appears tired and unstaffed, with no hot water in the showers, occasional leaks, and visible dirt in corners. The bathrooms and showers are in need of updating, and some rooms experience street noise, so earplugs are recommended. The check-in process, while straightforward, requires downloading an app and submitting a driver’s license, which may be inconvenient for some. There were reports of issues with entry codes and delays during check-in, and amenities like cable TV are limited to Roku. Some guests found the room cleanliness inconsistent, especially with mattress covers, and the overall building lacks modern updates. Despite these issues, many guests enjoyed the location, spacious rooms, and the overall practicality of the stay, making it a good choice for those seeking a budget-friendly, independent experience in the city.
