Sonesta Columbus Downtown
The staff was friendly and helpful from the moment I arrived in the parking garage. They helped me with my luggage, found luggage I had failed to unload, and were tirelessly looking out for me. The 2 dinners I had from the restaurant were both excellent. The server, Colton, was very nice.

Room was clean. Hotel was quiet, only heard one loud noise ( door shutting) around 10pm. The building is old, doesnt look like a hotel on the outside. Staff was very nice and professional. Parking was excellent. Did not use any amenities of the hotel.
