Sonesta Columbus Downtown
"Okay in a pinch but there are many better options available. Felt understaffed + lacked care and attention to detail. Lame amenities. The decor was very dated, every lightbulb in my room was a different color temperature, one light was broken, and housekeeping never came to my room. Not great."
