Two Sides

The plusses - generally nice property, convenient location, easy check in, valet service. minuses- loft room had barely any furniture, and furniture it did have was clearly old and worn out. desk chair was wobbly and sketchy. bathroom fixtures were "retro" to the extreme. Loft had great spaciousness, but no purpose. TV did not work (we didn't really care, but STILL). Another minus- This review site, which won't let me upload any of the photos.

Convenient & safe for solo business traveler

Skywalks on the 2nd floor connect Sonesta to the Columbus Convention Center across the street and the Chestnut St. parking structure around the corner, saving me money, time, and hassle. The friendly clerk gave me a $10 credit toward food/beverage purchases, and replaced my misplaced key card with no problem. Bedroom and bathroom were clean. Teenagers staying for some convention were a bit noisy in the hallways.
Appreciated the bathtub. Lifted out the plastic seat for more room.
Not sure why, but couldn't seem to close the larger curtains for blackout effect.
Mini-fridge, easy-to-use thermostat, coffeemaker, huge flat screen TV, and comfortable bed.
