the hotel was very clean, staff was nice and friendly. someone did try to break into my car in broad daylight after being there for about 20 minutes tho!
amazing!!!!! super clean, love the bed, and no carpet so the floor is actually deep cleaned, the smart tv being able to stream all your shows, the noon check out, the amenities all so good! definitely worth the price, will be staying here from now on when I visit columbus again. staff was so accommodating with a later check out option too
Enjoy our stay. Nice location to Ohio Stadium. Lovely rooftop deck to enjoy an evening cocktail. Nice gym to get in a quick workout. No on site restaurant but one just across the parking lot which offers a good selection of dining options. They do offer a breakfast selection which is not included in your stay fee. Could take some time from order to delivery depending on how busy they are in the morning. Overall a good choice and only 15 to airport.
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.
