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.

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.
