Sonesta Columbus Downtown
The staff was awesome. Breakfast isn't included and there's a lot of construction surrounding the hotel causing confusion, but once inside, it's beautiful. It's not cheap at all, but not outrageously expensive, either. Overall, a good value.

Columbus Airport Marriott
AC in room didn't work, had it set to 60 and it never cooled down. Called the front desk at 7pm and they said they'd have an engineer check it while I was getting food, never got an update and it was hot all night
