Rating & Review Keseluruhan Aloft Columbia Downtown

The property worked great for our needs. We needed to book rooms last minute due to a flight cancellation and Aloft had availability. The area was filled with dining options since it was near the USC campus. We booked two rooms and while clean, one room had a distinct smell that reminded me of the smell of dog urine. We were told that the hotel was pet friendly. They sprayed the carpet in the room which worked temporarily but the smell came back unfortunately. We were able to get through the night but they should probably get rid of that carpet or remove it for cleaning.

Always inviting!

Great staff, especially the front desk. They didn’t miss a beat and was on top of everything, from check in to check out. Again, I felt like a prince coming home to his soon to be kingdom.

There’s a couple ladies at the front desk who were phenomenal. All the front desk staff was nice, but two stand out. One was Latash the LR Diamond, and the young lady who work at Verizon before Aloft. I felt like I was a prince visiting a nearby kingdom. Thank you, for making my homecoming pleasant!

Terrible experience. At check-in, staff weirdly warned me three times that the self-park gate “might not work” — as if that’s my problem. Room smelled bad, asked to switch, but the new one smelled the same. Uncomfortable bed, no water pressure in the shower. Also, elevator #2 still has a 2023 inspection certificate — pretty sure it’s overdue. 1/10. Skip this place and stay at the Cambria a block away — way better for the same price.

The staff was courteous and provided great customer service.

Very nice staff , clean hotel !! Great price

The area was very unique with a few shopping a restaurant options within walking distance. The room was a corner room and very spacious. The room just needed some minor detail changes. Example: the bathroom light and vanity area lights up the whole room with no option to close it off. The property was overall pretty good and a comfortable stay. The staff were excellent.

Was nice and seems new or at least well maintained. Downstairs lobby bathroom needs more frequent attention but we would definitely return!

Great experience! Loved this hotel!

Friendly staff, good value,safe parking area and walking distance to the hotel… I would stay here again.

I just didn't like the vibe and couldn't sleep at all.

It was clean

A bit too industrial feel to it. Staff and service were excellent. Room was kept very clean by housekeeping.

Nice room, great location

Rooms were very clean. Could really use a microwave in room. Are was nice.

The beds were so comfortable!

Trendy & pretty hotel. Great location for restaurants & bars. Loved the bar in the lobby. Craft cocktails & a super nice bartender. We paid for breakfast. (Breakfast sandwiches, yogurt, oatmeal, & bagels.) The beds were very comfortable! Our a/c was a little loud but not a sleep ruiner. Room was quite large too!

Great hotel and location, staff was polite rooms are clean and comfortable good dining close

My room was right above the restaurant attached to the hotel. During restaurant hours, I could hear voices all night until closing. I could also hear everything in the halls and the rooms weren't sound proof and I didn't realize there was no pool. I enjoyed my overall stay the room was small, but comfortable and clean.
