Meh
The Sonesta is not worth the money they’re charging, in my opinion. There was nothing about this place that was unordinary. Also, booked two queens and got two fulls, so that was a little disappointing. The lofts are not as epic as they seem online. Very very average hotel stay for way too much money.

Outstanding overall! Very clean, the staff from the valet’s to counter employees were both courteous and professional. The bar tender was great and makes a mean expresso martini. The room was nice, we had a queen size bed that was clean and comfortable and the bathroom was large. It was a five minute walk to the Nationwide Arena and there are plenty of restaurants nearby to choose from. It’s also across the street from the convention center. I would definitely stay here again.

The Vine Forge restaurant was outstanding! In particular they make their own corned beef daily, and it might just be some of the best I have ever had... easily as good as any of my many NYC deli stops over the years.
