“Aloft Columbus has a fresh, contemporary feel that impressed me. The hotel's proximity to Ohio State University makes it ideal for campus visits, while the diner-inspired decor gives the rooms a playful, artistic edge. I particularly appreciate the outdoor balcony with its fire pits-a great spot to unwind.”
