The rooms were comfortable and clean. Enjoyed the games, such as billards, to relax paired with a great selection of drinks from the bar. Staff was helpful, friendly, and accommodating to anything we needed. Will definitely stay again on our next trip to Columbus.

This is the perfect Hotel to stay at if you have loved ones at the Ohio State Medical Center Hospital. Less than 10 minutes from the time you get into your car to arrive at the Aloft. Traffic is NOT an issue. Hotel is super clean, staff very helpful and rooms are well appointed.

I loved this hotel for what we needed this weekend. We were there for a volleyball tournament. It was clean, quiet, they have a little store with snacks etc. the front desk staff were beyond kind and accommodating. We requested a late checkout and were allowed to stay to 2 pm with helped us greatly; we didn't have to spend 6 hours at the airport. There is also a Starbucks 2 min walk away, Target and some restaurants within walking distance.

We stayed her for an OSU football game. It is about a half hour walk to the stadium. The staff was wonderful. The room was spartan and a bit beat up but clean. I know the ridiculous price was based on location and not amenities. It has a parking lot and they allowed me to park 2 cars which was great on a game day. The on site bar was hopping and had a great vibe.
