Fodor's Expert Review Aloft Columbia Downtown

A short walk from the convention center and hot spot restaurants and nightlife, and housing a lively bar of its own, this hotel is modern and customer focused. It is outfitted with contemporary art and light fixtures, and flooded with natural light in its loftlike public spaces. Rooms have a sleek, minimalist look. The billiards tables in the lobby, modern gym, on-site lounge, and oversized showers emphasize relaxing and recharging.
