Wyndham Columbus
Room was clean. Hotel was quiet, only heard one loud noise ( door shutting) around 10pm. The building is old, doesnt look like a hotel on the outside. Staff was very nice and professional. Parking was excellent. Did not use any amenities of the hotel.

Sonesta Columbus Downtown
The staff was friendly and helpful from the moment I arrived in the parking garage. They helped me with my luggage, found luggage I had failed to unload, and were tirelessly looking out for me. The 2 dinners I had from the restaurant were both excellent. The server, Colton, was very nice.
