Top Crane Island Hotel Reviews

Sonesta Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"My window in the loft didn’t close and the blinds were broken but I turned the heat on. No maid service during a4 night stay which was fine as I pick up after myself just fine and always reuse my towels but thought that was strange. Maybe that’s how it is now and I’m the dumb one haha but the place was nice. Just a minute walk to the convention center in the tunnel, very convenient"
