The hype
Travelers love the retro aesthetic and the pool area, but the 'invisible service' model confuses those expecting a traditional hotel experience.
The Cole Powered By Sonder
$150-250/ 晚
如果以下情况适用，请预订 You want a stylish, adults-only mid-century crash pad with a killer French bistro on-site and zero front desk small talk.
为什么人们喜欢它
- Freddie's Kitchen (on-site) serves some of the best French food in the desert
- The pool scene is chill and social without being a chaotic Vegas-style party
- Contactless everything—you can go your whole stay without seeing a staff member
快速了解： It's a glorified, stylish motel run by an app, so don't expect a bellhop to carry your bags or daily housekeeping to make your bed.
@Ms.jennyboo 的评论：I stayed here for a solo recharge and it was exactly what I needed. The retro decor is fun, but the real highlight was the peace and quiet. I spent hours in the jacuzzi and the dinner at Freddie's was surprisingly gourmet. A total hidden gem.
住过这里的客人说
Reality check
The 'thin walls' complaint is the most consistent negative review—bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
- You prefer texting a support team over calling a front desk
- You want to be near the Uptown Design District but away from the downtown crowds
- You love a good on-site restaurant that locals actually eat at
清洁与维护
8
- Housekeeping: Non-existent during stay unless paid for. Arrival clean is usually good, but missed spots happen.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling, though some guests report hair left behind in corners.
- Maintenance: Aging infrastructure shows; peeling paint on exterior and worn carpets are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and decent quality, but you have to message support to get fresh ones.
- Odors & scents: Mostly neutral, but occasional musty smells from the older AC units.

💡The carpets in the hallways and some rooms are showing their age with visible stains.
💡The 'mountain view' can sometimes be obstructed by the parking lot depending on your specific room angle.
💡There is no microwave in the standard rooms, making reheating leftovers from Freddie's tricky.
