Headed to Columbus OH on business and needed a nice hotel near downtown. The Lofts rooms were large, spacious, classy, and comfortable. Also convenient walking distance to the Arena District and Convention Center. There is a nice Max 'n Erma's restaurant in the lobby. This hotel was about $40 cheaper per night than the two larger competitors nearby.

The Lofts, under the umbrella of the adjacent Crown Plaza, offers an alternative to the typical hotel experience. Kind of a boutique feel but not plush or luxurious. Rooms have floor to ceiling window sorely in need of black out coverings- the blinds let in so much ambient light that I barely slept. Also noisy. Clean and all of our... More

We usually go to the regular type of hotel with the best ratings, but this time we thought we would try something different. The reviews here were not the best and we never stayed in a loft style hotel, but, there should be a first for everything. We read that the rooms were dirty, well we found them to be... More

Booked this hotel for Ohayocon in the Greater Columbus Convention Center. Stayed here a long time ago and left with good feelings. Want to amend that. Their service is pretty atrocious. Of course, it was busy. But The Lofts doesn't have it's own valet or bell hops. They're shared with The Crowne Plaza across the way, which is a much... More

Spent one night at this boutique hotel. Room was large and comfortable enough, but nothing really special. The hotel is attached to the larger and much busier Hyatt? Mariott? Westin? They share parking staff, so getting in and out with a car was a bit of a hassle. The attached restaurant is a Max and Erma's. Again, nice enough, but... More

It took 15 minutes for valet to get to our car and then it took another 15 minutes to check-in. Front desk had to call housekeeping to see if room was ready. Difficult to have conversation with front desk clerk due to blaring techno music in the lobby. Rooms have high ceilings but feel spartan. HVAC system very noisy and... More

Noisy, dingy, congested with substandard housekeeping. Not even the staff made an effort to raise this hotel from merely uncomfortable to tolerable! I had the misfortune of staying here two nights and will NEVER stay here again. It would be better to stay next to an airport as far as acoustics go. We could here every footfall from the people...
