Aloft Columbia Downtown

The hotel is fine however the outside noise is really loud at night. This is the second time I have stayed and will not go back. The trash collection and street cleaners are very loud and the seems to be little effort in the construction of the building to help the situation. Also beware of the travel service fees and taxes. For one night for a single room they were $165.00. Almost the price of the room.

Centrally located, minimalist room decor, comfortable and clean. Delightful staff, very helpful. Parking located in a public deck behind the hotel. Bar/restaurant located in lobby. Outdoor seating available, as well. Perfect for business travel.

Was charged a cancellation fee for not even staying.. reservation was canceled but was told it was still active and not showing on hotel end & hotel was booked by mistake and canceled immediately after . I was charged a whole day later which was part of my traveling expenses to make it back home 😔 please don’t book here if there is a possibility of cancellation -wykedra Burrell

The lobby and bar were gorgeous. A very inviting beginning to the stay. The staff was very professional and answered any questions I had. The hotel was a block away from some nice new restaurants. I liked the layout of the room. I bathroom and showers were “around the corner” from the beds and allowed for some privacy The room was clean. However; the room looked out on the air conditioning units, a power station and a garage. The room itself needed tiny fixes. There was nowhere to hang towels and the room phone did not work when I tried to call down for valet. Overall, a very nice stay and loved the new vibe of the place.

This was my first time staying here and the hotel was what I expected for an aloft. Nothing spectacular but the room was very clean and the lounge area very nice. I was there for a short night so I didn’t get to experience any of the amenities. Check in was a little questionable where I was not allowed to email a form but required to go print out the form. In a world where we are trying to save trees I hope management changes this requirement. Other than that all was good and valet very efficient.

After reading some of reviews from previous travelers I was a little hesitant about staying here. I was assured I would be pleased with the clean accommodations. I want to say I certainly was. Very pleasant reception desk, clean room with great toiletries and very quiet and comfortable stay. Plenty of parking even though there were 2 buses in front! Go and enjoy yourself. My only regret was that it was too cool to use the pool. Thank you Thai, at the reception desk, for consoling me when I called to request adjoining rooms with other family members.

From Tiara at the front desk to Rachel and Landon at the hotel bar, the service provided by the staff here was phenomenal. The property is centrally located downtown, close to numerous great restaurants. My room on the top floor was beautiful and I loved everything about the property. If I had one complaint, it's that when I came back to room 502 on Feb 6, the toilet was filled with pee. The bed was made, the towels replaced, etc. etc. but apparently someone used my toilet and didn't flush it. Not the end of the world, but a little weird...

Definitely will not be referring anyone family, coworker, and friend to this hotel, establishment etc. Extremely rude, inconsiderate, disrespectful, discriminatory staff. While attending a downtown cheer event for a family member, my children and needed to use the restroom after walking from the conventional center which was and is about 2 blocks. Since we are Marriott members, & have walked in to hotels before to use the restroom without any problems or issues. We decided to ask where the restrooms were located inside this hotel. The guy at front stated “umm are you staying here?” Responded kindly “no, but we are members with marriott and my kids need to use the bathroom.” The guy said “no can’t help you, we must be staying.” There are no signs posted inside nor were there any outside. Kid friendly, family friendly I think not
