Overall Score3.0/ 5
On the last night of staying at your hotel I had a horrible experience. I was staying on the 4th floor of the hotel I went to use the elevator to go to the first floor to heat up food. As I got in the elevator scanned my key and pressed floor one the elevator started normally then started plummeting down. It felt like a suspension cord snapped and the only thing that stopped me from going all the way down was an emergency break in the system. I lifted up and slammed into the ground with my feet I was stuck in between floors screaming for help. I was banging on the door screaming and pressed the emergency call button. Someone from your hotel staff answered and I screamed I need help I'm trapped in the elevator. Instead of helping me they hung up on me I was pressing the emergency ring button as well and no one came I was stuck in the elevator for five 10 minutes scared to death screaming for help. The elevator started working again when I got the the main level I told TWO different staff members what happened. They both talked down to me like I was a child who was incompetent of using an elevator. (One of your staff members had the audacity to ask if I even knew how to use the elevator) I have been traveling since I was a baby I used to live in hotels all over the country I know proper etiquette, I know how to talk to staff, be respectful and use a elevator. I may look young for my age but I am a 24 year old adult who was treated like a child. Your staff that night did absolutely nothing to help me. They let countless people on the same elevator that trapped me and offered no help at all. The only person to help me in anyway was the very kind and polite manager on dude who was working when I checked out. He was the only staff member to care so major respect to him. You should be rewarding him in someway for his awesome effort. I can tell you right now he's the only one in your staff that seemed to care. After that incident I will never stay at your hotel or any other hotels in your companies line. My stay was from July 15th July 18th and and the incident happened on July 18th a little before 2:00am.

This hotel was extremely clean and not crowded. We felt safe with the Covid precautions. The valet staff was friendly and helpful every time. I would come back here again.

The center of Columbus is where it all takes place, from Commerce and Government to Conventions and Events, and it is all just outside the Sonesta Columbus Downtown. From the excitement of the Columbus Blue Jackets, Columbus Clippers to thunderous applause from big-name performers, Nationwide Arena is the jewel in the crown of downtown Columbus' Arena District.Wander down cobbled streets to a trendy restaurant or a casual cafe. Stop into a local pub for a taste of the native brew. Take in a concert at the one-of-a-kind The LC (formerly PromoWest Pavilion) and Nationwide Arena. Just a few blocks more and you're where the creative spirits live. Short North and The Ohio State University districts are pulsing with energy. Sonesta Columbus Downtown is in the Center of it all.
