“Sonesta Columbus Downtown strikes me as a practical choice, especially for those needing direct access to the convention center and Nationwide Arena. I noticed the loft suites offer a distinctive layout, though some may find them a bit removed from the main hotel's energy. Overall, it seems a solid, if not particularly lavish, option for downtown events and business.”
