Guests ejected mid-stay from bankrupt hotel chain Sonder
Guests were abruptly asked to leave Sonder hotels worldwide after the property rentals firm went bankrupt due to Marriott terminating their leasing agreement. Customers faced challenges accessing their rooms and were seen moving luggage on the streets seeking alternative accommodations. This collapse came after Sonder's integration issues with Marriott's booking systems, causing financial strain and leading to insolvency proceedings. The sudden closure affected employees like Rob Goodwin, the front desk manager, who found himself without a job but remains hopeful for new opportunities in New York City's hospitality sector.
