Loft 523 New Orleans

I LOVED staying here. The Penthouse was worth the extra money. Private terrace. designer tub. dual showerheads. HUGE space. lots of closet space. mini fridge. 5th floor. Quiet. View was great. definitely plan on staying here again. check in was smooth. Honestly, I could live here. It was one of the more amazing rooms I've found in New Orleans.

Associated with International House so it has the same vibe - which I love. But it could use some maintenance. But still a good place to stay. Would recommend

Property not as advertised. There's no bar or restaurant. No staff working either. No signs out front, took half an hour of driving in circles to find out you have to go elsewhere to check in. Broken shower, no blankets, no amenities, housekeeping shows up sometimes at 8am, sometimes not at all, doesn't replace anything like the soap or one bag of coffee.

This is a rare hotel where the room is actually BETTER than the pictures. Very cool, comfortable vibe. There is no staff on site, however, so if you need something you have to go to the sister property about a block away. Not a big deal, just be aware. For example, the cleaning staff didn't ever replace the coffee in the room, so we just did without.

The property was NOTHING like what was posted. The thermostat wouldn’t go below 68 and the temperature in the room remained at 76 or above. The fridge was hidden and stopped working which spoiled the food I purchased. There was literally no staff at the property at any time of the day.I definitely WOULD NOT stay here nor recommend it to anyone. If it wasn’t so last minute and my funds weren’t as limited I would’ve definitely found another location. Birthday trip ruined.

Staff was unhelpful and seemed to be generally confused about operating procedures between their two sister locations. Left property in room to which they said was not found.

Overall a nice stay. We were allowed to check in early after our cruise and our room was upgraded for no additional charge. They only issue was we had to check in at the sister hotel and pull our luggage a block over - likewise at checkout to retrieve our vehicle. If we were able to do this at the hotel booked our stay would have been perfect. We understand there were phone/internet issues the day of check in so this is not a typical experience. We would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a reasonably priced stay in a good location. We were within walking distance to anything we wanted to do in the French Quarter.

If you need a great, safe and convenient stay close to Canal and Bourbon and all the parades this is it! If you want heavy activity in your lobby with concierge and amenities in the hotel, they have relationship with International House. This was quiet, clean with an amazing room!

I liked the hotel, except for the shower. The water pressure was non-existent. It was possibly the worst shower I've ever used.

Mice were present and woke us in the night. In the morning, we were switched to a lesser room than we had booked (no view, queen sized bed instead of king sized) but there was no adjustment to our bill. Also smaller inconvenience like no coffee cups one day and no replacement of in-room coffee on another. Inconvenient outlets for charging.
