Had a great stay at the Sonesta Downtown Columbus! The room was excellent, very clean, and well-maintained. The staff was friendly, helpful, and provided great service throughout our stay. Overall, a great experience, and I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting downtown Columbus!
The room was clean, the staff was great. The parking garage is right next door and about 15.00 a night. I did not try the breakfast, however the bar was nice.
Easy check in. Valet was great. All of the staff we encountered were awesome. Room was comfy and priced significantly less than any other nearby rooms. Well worth it!
This Was my first time in Columbus. Everything was amazing. Room was absolutely beautiful and the atmosphere was awesome in the restaurant. plan to come back next year for Lost Lands. Definitely will be staying here again. thank you
It’s a very nice hotel. The staff are very friendly. The bar is really nice. I really recommend it highly recommend it. We will definitely stay there again.
This is my 3rd time staying here! Each stay has been great for our concerts at nationwide arena right outside. Hotel is clean, updated, staff is helpful, & the bar/restaurant is wonderful! However, the last time we stayed recently, I booked the Deluxe king bed suite & was told at check in that I had to settle for 2 queen beds because they ran out of king beds. I have always raved about this hotel but that was a a bit disappointing. Overall, great place to stay if you are going to an event nearby.

The staff was excellent - very friendly. The lobby was great. The exercise room was nice. The location was good. However, the 7th floor hallway carpet needed to be replaced years ago. My individual room smelled like the maids had used a moldy rag to clean the bathroom before I checked in. The room had a foul smell the entire 4-day stay. The maid-service was bad: (1) failed to service my room despite requesting service from a maid on my floor and talking to the maid-service coordinator on the phone; and (2) the maids left trash bags and dirty linens in the hallway.
Great place to stay. Nice hotel, very clean & staff were friendly & professional. Very nice room. Bed was very comfortable. The bar & restaurant is very nice as well. Great bartenders! Would definitely stay here again.
I didn't like that there was not nicer couches in the lofts and no plane to put your luggage other than one small closet… they have more desks and dressers at a Hampden Inn. Food was much better than the Hyatt across the street! Food was fabulous!
