Very comfortable hotel. Staff is accommodating. There are several restaurants plus Starbucks nearby. Stadium is a bit of a hike.
The staff was fantastic / Friendly...I used to live around the corner and I felt like being home Who ever is managing this property is doing a great job Thanks
The room and the grounds were clean and well taken care of. The staff was great and accomodating as well
We always stay here whenever we are in Columbus.
Nice and clean place to stay. Staff won’t answer the phone if you call though.
Property was modern, clean and quiet. Bed was very comfortable! Nice common area that had football playing and games with a big deck. 1.3 mile walk to OSU stadium was super fast and easy! I would stay here again
It was a delight
Wonderful hotel!
The cleaning staff started way too early and were so loud you were startled awake. The walls are thin, so you hear everything above, below and next to you. Not a pleasant experience
Great area with lots of dining options. Location was great for our visit. Safe area and extra safety measures at the hotel. A little more “techy” than I was used to, but manageable. Lobby area was a great space and the bar had good selection. Beds were a little hard for my taste, otherwise great stay-would definitely choose again.
I really enjoyed my stay here, the staff are very friendly and will cater to your needs no matter what time of the day it is. The housekeeping crew were excellent. They kept my room clean for the five days that I were there with no problems.
Staff was nice. Bar and patio are really nice. Pool was cold, bathroom doors in rooms have bad privacy and hallways are noisy in morning
From the time we pulled into the parking lot, entered the front lobby, and entered our room, we saw nothing but filth. Outside, the sidewalk way dirty, stained, and just generally unclean. Walking into the front lobby, the area was dirty. The gathering (breakfast) area in the lobby saw dirty and torn carpet. The pullout chairs were stained and dirty. The front desk had friendly staff, but the area was cluttered and unorganized. Arriving on our floor, we exited the elevator to find a carpeted hallway that looked to be un-vacuumed for some time. The carpet was also stained and dirty, which matched the corridor walls. Once we entered the room, it was tight, to say the least. The carpet was torn, stained, and needed to he vacuumed. Found on the carpet was a pill of some sort. As we travel with a service dog, we are blessed to have found the pill and disposed of it before our dog ingested the pill and experienced a negative outcome. The bathroom was good sized and general y clean. The shower head had several different settings, but if you tried to find a different setting, it was difficult, as the shower head was not attached to the shower wall. The water was hot, however, and got the job done. We did visit the breakfast area prior to our departure from the hotel. The area, as noted earlier, was generally dirty and unappealing. Food choices were plentiful, but typical “free” breakfast items. If you want to watch TV or use the Internet, this is not the place for you. Although warne
great!
Close to hospital
Loved it!
The check-in was fast and friendly, and the decor is awesome! Our beds were comfy! The space is perfect for a small family, and the locale is GREAT!
Unique place, nice atmosphere
My daughter and I came to Columbus for a concert. I was looking for a hotel that had free parking after spending over $50 for parking my last trip. The whole experience was unique from the check in to the elevators. The rooms were unique and clean with fun little details like the lighting. The bed and pillows were cozy. Great experience overall.
Hotel is showing some wear and tear. In terms of cleanliness, it was average. Good location, easy parking. Was kind of odd you had to take an elevator up from ground floor to get to lobby and then back to parking lot.
Great hotel.
Beautiful property

The staff was wonderful, very helpful. We needed more coffee and more cups and the staff immediately helped us out. There was no microwave in the room, which is disappointing. I bring food due to dietary restrictions and need a microwave. The gym is the nicest, most well-appointed gym I have ever experienced in a hotel.
Great spot for any event at OSU stadium. Room was large and very clean. AC was a little loud and the walls a little thin but I’ll take that anyday for a big clean room.
Aloft is a beautiful hotel with plenty of parking, a indoor pool, and large deck. I was greeted by Alex who also provided information on nearby places to eat. The front desk staff rocks!! My room was clean and spacious. The hotel is minutes away from downtown or the campus of OSU. I highly recommend it.
Big room, funky furnishings, beds bit hard, pillows good, shower horrid as was Accessible room and water ended up all over floor making it slippery.
This hotel served its purpose for our one night stay. The people at the front desk were nice and helpful. The pool was small and I don’t think the floors in our room have been mopped/cleaned in a long time!
Nice place to stay
Exactly what we needed to get away and relax. Design and decor are great.
I give it a five star rating
Absolutely gorgeous
This place is 5+ star hotel! Modernized, sleek, clean and very secure! Staff was the best! Housekeeper was amazing and even added little touches to make it like home. Has a common area balcony with 2 fire pits and plenty of seating and leads off of the bar, for those of you who would like to have a drink and relax outside around a fire before retiring into a very comfortable bed! Cannot think of anything negative about this place, other than there is a train track that ran throughout our stay, but it wasn't a disturbance, even at night, and I have very good hearing!
Great place
Very nice
Not a comfortable stay
Bed was broken down on one side and needed replaced. Air conditioning /central air barely worked. We had to purchase a fan while we stayed 7 nights for a convention. There was a musty smell to the room. No desk area but a small dinette in a corner. The appearance is nice and contemporary but it’s not a comfortable stay.
Property is very nice. I like the style but would suggest keeping pets on first floor. We had a dog above us and the pacing and barking could be heard throughout the night. Otherwise hotel is very nice, enjoyable and accommodating!
Great loved my stay💕
They did not have rooms ready when we got here and told us it would be a few minutes so we got out of line since we thought they took our names down. There were multiple other parties waiting. Someone asked if it was whoever was in line at the time got the room regardless of how long they have been waiting. They said yes. So everyone got back in line. When I got to the front they ran out of rooms again. When we finally got a room an hour and a half past check in time it was still dirty. Hair in the shower, food on the floor, dirt on the table, multiple walls had what looked like something sprayed on them still. To top it all off there was a dog that liked to bark all night long.
This hotel is modern and convenient and has free parking. It was the perfect location for our Ohio Stadium event. The only two slight negatives were the lack of friendliness of the check in/check out staff, and the fact that our room was never cleaned between nights. I really like a made bed as part of the amenities and it was disappointing not to get a couple new washclothes. Those were minor things and we had a great stay overall.
Stay here!
Beautiful hotel with lovely rooms and lots of amenities!
Great place super cute great photo ops and balcony
Check in staff and room is great. The location is kinda middle of nowhere. But close enough to highway.
All in all it was a good stay and I would come back
We had a great stay. Felt very safe just my daughter and myself. Staff were very friendly.
I’ll go there again great place to stay when you in the city
Check in was slow. It would help if at check in they would explain the elevator process. Very confusing.
Nice
The staff was extremely helpful
We always love staying here for our visits to Columbus. The staff is amazing, the rooms are alwaya clean. The beds are some of the most comfortable Ive slept in at any hotel. Our room featured a white noise machine that made for a wonderful sleeping experience.
The overall ambience is stellar !!! The rooms were super clean . The lady at the front fest ( I forget her name ) was a little bit rude and seemed distracted but generally we enjoyed our stay ‼️
Solid hotel
Super comfy beds
Last minute booking, very accommodating!
Really neat
Clean and house keeping excellent
It's a lovely place to stay!
We really loved our stay here! The property was beautiful, the bed was the most comfortable bed I've ever had in a hotel, and the two restaurants next door were incredible. We did get charged for someone else visiting the bar in the hotel (which looked really cool but we never went there), but the manager quickly took care of it when I called. I would definitely stay here again!
Clean, close to OSU, nice features like a steamer in the room
The check in was so convenient and the desk staff terrific
Great place to stay at. The loft bar is awesome with a nice evening.
I really enjoyed the outdoor area next to the bar. And the convenience to my work.
Loved the ALoft!! So clean and the lobby is a Vibe! Firepit outside wood the bar area! Gym was perfect! Loved my room so clean and modern! Will definitely stay again!
Nails in parking lot/handicap space . We picked them up and disposed of them.
The elevators are horrible. You hit G and it takes you to 3. It wants your room key for any floor. So when it mistakenly takes you to 3 you have to get out of the elevator use your key. Then hit G. This or something similar to this happened 2x during our 1 day stay. The place is clean but the rooms are small so when house cleaning starts opening doors at 6am you can hear it.
Good hotel
Always a great stay!
Very nice stay! My only criticism is that I didn't know how to use the elevator panel, in that my key was needed to use it. I think it's a great safety mechanism, just needed to be informed.
Worst. My room was supposed to be non smoking. Definitely not the case. Totally smelled of smoke.
Great property, loved the decor and design.
Clean, easy check-in with friendly staff.
I had amazing stay would definitely stay again
Property was very clean and up to date. I had a minor issue and they resolved it very quickly.
We have stayed here several times and it is always clean and close to many attractions.
Great place
Would definitely stay again
Room was modern, clean and well maintained. Staff was friendly and approachable. The hotel restaurant, bar and snack area are all nice options to have on site.
Nice lobby, quiet and pleasant
It was decent.
Cozy
Easy to access and well maintained
Ok expected better from the pictures.
Loved it
This hotel was clean, comfortable, nicely decorated, and it felt very safe. I would definitely stay here again.
We loved the vibe and how Modern it was!!
1 crappy employee at a super cool hotel
Over all love! Person that checked us in was very unkind. I honestly was disappointed after a bad day. The ladies that were at the desk in the evening were very pleasant and happy to offer any help.
The room was large, quiet, comfortable beds
Perfect weekend stay.
Clean room
Close to downtown and other attractions. Clean and convenient to the highway system
Park and go to the first floor where the lobby is. Once you get there it’s easy but figuring out where to go at first is a little confusing
Staff was rude when checking in. Super noisy on the floor above us when cleaning at 8:00 am
Clean. Quiet. Modern.
There were little maintenance issues all around the room, nothing that made the stay unpleasant but enough of them to make me wonder how well they keep the property up.
No other info
First time here and love it
Very comfortable
Very clean and modern property
Save your money.
Staff was very unfriendly. Especially whoever was running the kitchen. People above us were screaming and jumping around all night long. Sheets had stains EVERYWHERE. 10/10 will not be turning to this place.
more cons, than pros
The hotel was clean and was close to where I needed to be for my trip. The room was spacious, comfortable and laid out well. But it was VERY loud. It has an industrial aesthetic and every sound is amplified. I was awoken multiple times throughout the night due to loud sounds coming from above my room and the hallway. I believe my room was below the housekeeping headquarters or kitchen. There is also train track just off the parking lot that is frequently traveled. The hotel internet was not functional and hotel staff did not know when it would be repaired. so I was unable to work remotely as planned. It also meant that none of streaming apps on the hotel TVs worked. I was only in town for the night, otherwise I would have likely switched hotels. I would not return simply due to the noise.
Good job……mostly
Overall it was a great hotel, room, and stay. We did have difficulty with the bed side lights not working well, flickering at times. Also the dead bolt did not work but we used the other locks. The pool was nice but a bit cold (not big enough to do laps, so should be warmer esp in frozen winter.
Clean, quiet, convenient to many OSU and other destinations in central Columbus. Very friendly staff, very welcoming to our dog. Reasonable fees. We'll be back!
Shower was way too hot
Property had great parking option. Rooms were neat and clean. We enjoyed our stay!
Location for OSU was excellent. Room was quiet. Comfortable bed. The area in room had a very small table to work on. It isn't unworkable, but not great by any means. Front desk was disengaged at checkout. I asked for copy of bill. I was given the bill for another guest. Will have to see whether the charge ends up correct. There is a restaurant (Cap City Diner) that shares parking lot. It is excellent. Great food, relatively inexpensive.
