The hotel's rooms were average and nothing special as they seemed on their website. They had good beds, a good work space, and a good bathroom. However, the room next door, which was supposed to be unusable in response to our request for a quiet room on a high floor, was not ideal – it was not too high and a bit dim with only one double-hung window. Despite this, the room was quite large with high beamed ceilings.

My stay at The Lofts was like staying in an apartment. The rooms were on the dark side, and mine was not ready upon check-in, which was a bit disappointing. However, the convenience of being in the heart of downtown Columbus across from the convention center was a major plus. The service was fast and continental breakfast was great, although missing a few amenities. The dining experience was excellent with a wide range of freshly prepared dishes delivered to the room each morning. The facilities were top-notch, making it a modern and convenient choice for future stays in Columbus at The Lofts.

My stay at the hotel was overall enjoyable. The rooms are spacious, appointed in a chic metropolitan style with live plants, vintage artwork, and tile baths. However, the mini fridges are stocked with items for purchase, leaving little space for personal items, and there were noise disturbances from the neighboring room.

The hotel had spacious and modern rooms, perfect for larger groups or families, and they were impeccably clean. The service was top-notch, always attentive and friendly, although a disputable charge on the bill caused a small hiccup. The location was excellent, within walking distance to Nationwide Arena and a vibrant district. Dining was a mixed bag, with overpriced options and food quality reminiscent of chain diners. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money with some minor drawbacks.
