Sonesta Columbus Downtown
The staff was so kind and accommodating! The room was great & the hotel was clean all around. Will definitely be staying again!

The Junto
Not your typical hotel lobby. It's a hangout, for guests and for the community. The rooftop bar gives a speakeasy vibe, but where everyone is welcome. And the room - probably the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever slept on. Delightfully cool and relaxing.
