Loft 523 New Orleans

Nice

My stay was wonderful the only I suggest is the hotel get smart TV’s

Bear Bones room with cement floor with holes and cracks . Very low bed. Great marble bath with huge tub and open shower with sprays from 2 directions.. Flat couch. Floor lamb had no bulb. Small desk. No other chair. One large abstract picture on the wall. Long hallway from the door and closet into the room. No one in the lobby. We had to check in at a place around the corner and carry our luggage over to the Loft building. Bar also was deserted with only a few drums,and no liquor. Just a cold feel to the place.

I was a bit concerned after reading reviews! Property is quiet, clean and amazing!!! Would definitely come back!!!!! Water pressure is low but you can still shower!!!! We enjoyed it so much!!!

Our room did not have a functioning iron and coffee maker. The window shade was broken and not replaced, just left on the slide with a thin curtain covering the window. The TV was placed by the side of the bed, a very awkward location. We did not have a microwave, only plus - the staff at the International House were courteous and able to heat our food up. The best part of this hotel, it was in close proximity to tourist locations.

I’ll give them one star for the aesthetic…other than that it’s garbage. You have to check in at a completely different hotel then you have to find the loft which does not have a sign. The attendant at check in was amazing, but past him everything else was awful. There is no parking for the hotel so I had to pay an additional $40 for parking. The entire first floor of this hotel is abandoned… amenities mentions a bar, but don’t expect that because it is completely empty and cleared out. There was not a SOUL on the first floor. Just an empty bar and an air mattress. Then you get to your room where the floors are nasty and sticky. The giant studio light that was in the room had a busted bulb so that couldn’t even be used. It was extremely humid so I woke up dripping sweat multiple times. Along with hearing every footstep the person in the other room is taking. The showers are AWFUL. Not even enough water pressure to knock the dust off of you. No shower door so every shower you flood the whole bathroom and shiver the entire time. bath tub was great other than the fact the water came out looking like milk. No drink machines no vending machines. There’s a mini fridge but it comes empty. Stay ANYWHERE else other than here.

Unstaffed, front lobby looked abandoned and no amenities. Luke warm water for showers and only decaf coffee.

Nowhere on the website does it share that the property is run by International House around the corner. There is no staff inside the Loft - all check-in and valet parking occurs at IH, and amenities listed (gym, spa, bar) are at IH, not the Loft. If you try to unload your car in front of the Loft, you are blocking traffic on a 1-lane, 1-way street. Absolutely ridiculous experience.

First there was no hot water and second room had no water pressure. So it was like taking a shower in a water fountain. If the loft actually had staff and the bar that was shown and seating area. It would be a decent place. But nothing is there and have to check in at their sister hotel half block away. Expedia should remove them from there sight.

The room was super cool with a minimalistic vibe to it. Had to go to the sister hotel (IH) to check in and out. Honestly don’t think anyone was in the building at all besides us. There’s no bar or other amenities. Overall, super unique place.
