My husband and I have loved the Sonesta for years. Its convenience, elegance, and comfort makes each of our stays there memorable and worthwhile. We had another fabulous weekend in Columbus due in large part to our perfect stay at the Sonesta.

For starters, there was a facility fee that was not disclosed in the Expedia listing. (We were told we could recoup some of it if we went to the bar or spent money on sundries.) Although it’s downtown Columbus, we had difficulty finding an open restaurant for dinner within walking distance (not wanting to retrieve our car from the overpriced valet service). The biggest problem was the room and lack of response on it. The curtain was in shreds, as though an animal had tried to escape. There was dog food on the floor that had never been cleaned up. The TV didn’t work, and when I went to call the front desk, neither did the phone. I called from my cell, and the front desk attendant asked me to text him photos of the shredded curtain - which I did, but never got a response - and he promised to send up an engineer to fix the TV., who never showed. We waited up for over an hour someone to show up or call me, before giving up and going to bed - wondering for an hour or two if we’d suddenly be getting a knock on the door in the middle of the night. We’ll be staying in Columbus a lot over the next few years - we were dropping our freshman off at OSU - but we won’t be staying here again.

Overpriced hotel. Not bad overall but mediocre.
Hotel was just OK. A bit pricey for the room. Room was an old loft like space. Very loud and definitely not cozy. It had no mirror other than bathroom mirror and shades for windows were difficult to manipulate. The room was basic cleaned but we found an earring on the floor by the bathtub that shouldve been seen during an cleaning. It was right on the floor. The bath tub and bathroom were small and little room for counter space.

The Sonesta Columbus Downtown Columbus, Ohio
The hotel was relatively nice. Not terribly challenging to locate via Google Maps, even at night with loads of construction going on around parts of downtown Columbus. We arrived late at night and was able to secure parking (at a price of nearly $50 daily) through the front entrance Valet staff who were standing by waiting for arrivals. It was only later that I discovered potentially cheaper parking elsewhere, although less convenient. The front desk staffer was pleasant and accommodating, but once we got to the room, this is where the 3-star review is really highlighted. The room layout was interesting, it was large enough to accommodate three relatively comfortably. But the primary issue was lighting. There were only three main lighting sources (not including natural light) to somehow illuminate the entire room. The light at the door only lit the doorway and the small closet by the door, the bathroom light (while the door is open) illuminated the primary sitting area (to a point) and seemed to be the majority of the lighting for the room (odd right!!??), !!??), and the lighting on either side of the primary bed where the only sources of light in the entire room. The bed lighting is unfortunately not enough light (as it probably shouldn’t be for obvious reasons) to illuminate the entire room. So, the heavy lifting here (as it should not be) was from the bathroom light. This was an absolutely bonkers design flaw.

The location is good, but the hotel is fair. Good enough for a one night stay. No microwave in the room, but it did have a fridge. The bathroom had random hairs on the floor and a used lint roller paper stuck to a disposable cup.

The room was supposed to have a pull out sofa, and it did not. There were no overhead lights in the room so once the sun went down the only light was the bathroom or the night light. The bed was missing a comforter. The pillows did not smell clean.
