Downtown loft style with calm edges

Sonesta Columbus Downtown balances sleek, modern comfort with character-rich Loft suites featuring exposed brick, soaring ceilings, and big window views. Public spaces invite a slower pace with quiet relaxation nooks and even lobby coloring pages, while a curated art collection nods to local Columbus history. When it is time to gather, an outdoor fire pit sets the scene with skyline views.

Room was clean, staff was friendly and attentive. I liked the restaurant and bar. The only issue that wasn't great is that parking is super confusing and we ended up paying for valet because it was not clear what other options we had. Other than that it was a good stay!

It was clean and the staff was very friendly. The only issue I had which the hotel has no control over was the noise from street. We walked to nationwide area and restaurants. The restaurant at the hotel was great too.
