Loft 523 New Orleans

Quiet and secluded

The place was not clean and look/felt abandoned

The Tv in the unit would not come on. It was hot and uncomfortable. The A/C seemed to be having trouble, it did not turn on til 4am. There was also a smell in the unit as if it wasn’t cleaned prior to arrival. I am not pleased with the overall stay. The unit looked nothing like the pictures displayed online.

Disappointed that there were no amenities at the hotel itself.

Wonderful staff/room. At the time, there was no reception. That was the only issue.

I loved everything about this property. Nothing to complain about . Pictures are just like the room , we stayed in the Artist loft . Even though you had to check in and get ice from the sister property the service was amazing!

Infestation with cockroaches couldn’t stay had to go to international hotel. Hotel seems abandoned

The floors were not too clean. WiFi nor the phone worked. You can hear the people in other rooms even if they are not next door.

I’m not sure what’s going on with this property. When we stayed it felt like it was under renovation and not fully ready for guests. For example, the property didn’t have its own check in representative. We had to go to a different property down the block to check in. Not a big deal but when we did that and got into the actual building there was no one around. The lobby at the loft looked like a hotel had been abandoned. Paintings were on the ground and not hung on the wall. The lighting was dim and the floors in our room were bare concrete. The whole vibe was very “pardon our dust.” It wasn’t a bad stay per se but my girlfriend and I both felt like it needed work. One last thing… the shower was a big let down. Looked great in the photos but the shower heads weren’t adjustable and both sprayed water straight at eye level and never got warm enough. I wished I had saved a few bucks and stayed at the La Quinta down the block.

The hotel has great potential however, we it is nothing as advertised. There is no property staff.. the hotel is basically abandoned. We had to check in to another property.. there’s not even a sign with the name on it. We were told that it “used to be popping” but since covid they’ve been unable to staff it consistently. Reads that there’s a bar, spa, and restaurant on the property.. all of which do not exist. There’s no hot water.. and basically it was a scary experience as we seemed to be the only people in the building. Precious place but definitely not worth the money without the amenities. A falsely advertised experience all the way around.
