Sonesta Columbus Downtown
Staff was great. Door was open when I arrived and someone had used the bathroom, but it was ok. A microwave would have been nice.

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.
