We recently stayed at the Aloft Columbus Easton and had mixed feelings about our experience.

On the positive side, the hotel has a modern, contemporary feel and is very stylish. Our room was spacious, and the bathroom was one of the highlights of the stay. The shower was large, and the overall layout of the room was comfortable and well-designed.

Unfortunately, noise was a major issue during our visit. It sounded like a soccer team was staying in the room above us, with constant running, jumping, and stomping throughout the day and well into the night. We called the front desk and even went down in person to report the problem, but nothing seemed to be done to address it. As a result, getting any real rest was difficult.

The hotel itself has a lot going for it, but better handling of guest noise complaints would have made a significant difference in our stay. If you're a heavy sleeper, you may not have the same experience, but for us, the noise and lack of response from staff were disappointing.

We chose this location for its proximity to OSU stadium for a concert. The elevators were a pain to use but design of Aloft made them necessary for safety...sleek but not user friendly at all! The minimalism was so uninviting and function was weak. A banquette w/ a table, no other chairs. This forced someone to sit on the edge of the bed to converse with anyone at the banquette...too far for conversation. The toilet was not private at all, the bathroom was a \"wet room\" concept with toilet, shower and sink all together AND the METAL RACK was the closet! This room would have been fine for one person ONLY! So disappointed in the modern set-up, will never stay at an Aloft again.

The room was dirty. There was a booger on the bathroom wall next to light switch!!!! The shower did not have a shower curtain- had to call front desk to have it installed. Overall, it was over priced and one of the worst hotel stays we have had.

Really disliked this hotel, you need a keycard for every single door, the room felt like a prison cell, the whole vibe is not great. Avoid if you can

Staff was very well-mannered and prompt to respond to our requests and questions. Noticed some odd stains on the bathroom walls but overall it was a very well-maintained room.

the room was not super clear but you could hear everything going on in the rooms above you and next to you. every time they flushed their toilet or took a shower it was like you were right next to them

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.

Was okay for a college town hotel, I guess. Maintenance was not great. Many lights not working and blinds not working correctly. I like the wood like floors and elevated bed but the floor under the bed was very dirty and dusty. Disappointed by the brand for not hiring and keeping a better number of staff to keep a cleaner hotel. The vibe was great and I like the games and pool table in lobby. The shower was not working as well correctly.

The water pressure in the shower was non-existent.
The room must have previously had a pet stay (it was an accessible room) because my allergies were totally set off.

Too noisy. Walls are too thin. The sliding door into bathroom is a bad design. If you pull on it it will crash into the sink since it swings freely

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.

Noisiest hotel stay I've experienced in years. Requested top floor when I booked in June for an October stay. Not available at check-in, and no reason why.
We were assigned room 231, next to the stairwell. The doors are heavy with strong closers, so every time someone enters/leaves a room, the sound wakes you up. Then the guests in room 331 checked in between midnight and 1am and proceeded to drag their bags up the stairwell (banging on each step). After that they just stomped around the room and flushed their turbo toilet repeatedly (another loud noise source). And with no carpeting and a distinct lack of soundproofing, you could hear every time an item is dropped.
If you are looking for a quiet night's sleep don't stay at Aloft. I certainly won't.

The breakfast is not good and not complimentary. The bathroom sliding door gives no privacy / sound proof. I did love the shower products in large dispensers instead of wasting small bottles of product.

I just want to say Kristin the manager was unbelievable!! I went thru Expedia to book my room and there was a problem with the 3rd party (Expedia) paying the hotel for the room. Kristin went above and beyond to help me with this. She was very persistent and after over an hour she finally got ahold of Expedia and got this taken care of. Kristin is the type of employee every company dream of working for them and shows she really cares. Aloft should be grateful to have an employee like her! Thank you again Kristin and the other person at the front desk. Kevin

Stay somewhere else.

I’ve never had a room that literally looked like it was falling apart.
The bathroom door would get stuck and not even close properly, there was makeup stains all over the glasses in it room, no trash bags in the trashcan, the seal on the shower door was falling off so water was everywhere, toilet paper holders couldn’t even hold the toilet paper, the couches had weird dust all over it. There room was a total disaster. Last time we had 0 issues. After this start I won’t be staying here again.
