Tidewater
Posted 13 Jan 2024 on HotelsThe Tidewater is a strange and historic building in an amazing location, with all the best of Philly at your doorstep. The views from the apartment are mesmerizing!

Everything was nice. Only problem was check in and check out time. Usually standard times are 12pm check out and 4 pm check in. But they have reduced the time. Check in time 5 pm and check out time 11 am.
And you can’t request even a minute extension, Because there is staff.

Everything about this place was fantastic except for the bed. Hard as a rock. Otherwise, exceptional location, exceptional view, very hip, kitchen was extremely well stocked, and it was fun to see people playing on the across the alley rooftop.

Challenging check-in process
Posted 18 Sep 2023 on HotelsThe room was fine and the view was great. The location of the building is convenient. What was really challenging to say the least was the check-in. The system didn't work to enter the building. We spent some time on the phone with someone. The problem was not solved in the afternoon. Then we got stuck on the 4th floor, and couldn't go down in the elevator! We chatted for 20 minutes! We ended up requesting a fob. The whole process of not having someone on-site generated a waste of time and a lot of stress.
The address on the building is not visible.
Then the sink in the bathroom didn't drain properly, but we gave up because I didn't want to spoil my weekend chatting.

I stayed in the Sonder Tidewater in Philly. Not only did the AC not work, but they never fixed it and ignored my requests to do so instead giving me a fan. I had to resort to cursing to get them to come to the apartment to check it. The AC control was hanging off the wall. Most ghetto thing I’ve ever seen. No windows in the unit open. In the summer in Philly, you can probably imagine it was a toaster in there during the day and reasonable hot at night. Refused any sort of refund request for a $750 reservation other than $80 which I have not received and it’s already been a week. They claim the AC was fixed, but when I told them it wasn’t, they thought $80 would suffice and ignored future requests.

I’d probably not stay again.
Posted 5 Sep 2023 on HotelsThe outlets didn’t work, there was no guidance on how to access elevators and the property and when I asked depending on who was at the front desk, depended on the success of my entry and departure. I wouldn’t recommend unfortunately
