The Loft Hotel

I stayed here a while back but had to put something on Unilocal because it is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. It looks completely disgusting and gross. I saw a few spiders and there were stains on everything.

Absolutely atrocious. Run down, nothing like the pictures. The floor in my room was dirty, the sheets with stains on them. The staff called twice while I was sleeping after a long day traveling to perform repairs that could have, and should have, been done before or after my stay.
The worst part was when I went to retrieve my rental car the next morning, and the vehicle «couldn’t be found». Things happen, and that’s okay, but the man working the desk was awful; no customer service skills at all. On top of being rude, he told me blatant lies by refusing to give me any details about the valet company, contact name and numbers, etc. I ended up having to report the vehicle stolen. DO NOT VALET YOUR CAR.

This place is a great value. I paid $ 135 per night inclusive of all taxes and fees for a Wed and Thursday night. The rooms are excellent. They are clean and big. Essentially, they are studios. You get a bedroom, a kitchen, a separate dining room, two closets, and a bathroom. Wow! And yes, and wooden (real wood) floors! Wow, wow! It’s in a great location if you like action. I couldn’t hear it from my room but it’s right there in the heart of South Beach. On my Mon and Tuesday night I stayed at Hotel Clinton which is just a block away for the same price and it’s a no-​contest. The Loft wins every time by a landslide. Now, if you value the two free cocktails and free semi-​breakfast at Clinton, then go for that. The Loft has no such frills. The beds at the Loft were better too. Clinton kind of hurt my back and it’s dirtier. The service at both places was excellent. The only small ding I give The Loft is that my electricity stopped working on day 2 and they had to move me to the adjacent room, no biggie. I would stay here again for sure.

I could not get a flight out on the day of travel so I needed to book a night and I did that by calling
. I requested a 4 star hotel which this was not. I could not get a refund because it was booked through
which is non refundable. When I arrived I called the front desk about the stench in the room and was informed that was the last room. Food particles were in kitchen sink, walls and floors. Floors and surfaces had not been wiped down or cleaned. Feces splatter was on curtains and on wall near to the bed. Bed linens and furniture were also badly stained. After a can of Lysol I had to sleep in my clothes because sheets and towels were also badly stained. This hotel is not fit for human habitation. I would have stayed in a clean closet than a large filthy studio with a full kitchen. If you’re going budget bring lots of cleaning supplies. housekeeping is non existent. Convenient location.

If I could give a negative star rating I would. The outside looks run down but based on previous reviews between a few different travel sites, I knew that it didn’t look the best outside but inside would be fine. We walked in our room and it looked NOTHING like the pictures, RED FLAG #1. We liked the size of the room, big enough for 4 girls but we decided to walk around before making ourselves at home. One of the beds comforter had a stain on it, the fridge had some stains on the side of it. We then check out the bathroom and that’s when we had enough. The tube was peeling… the paint in the bathtub was coming off and you can see what’s under the paint. It was raggedy and gross that they would really rent a room like this to people. (SEE MY PICS) I went to the front and complained and he said he would show me 3 other rooms, which they did. 2 out of the 3 had a odor (yuck!) and the 3^rd one still had a gross bathroom. I demanded a refund and even though they tried to say they couldn’t, I said that I deserve a refund because this isn’t what is advertised AND not a single person was happy with the room. They finally gave me a refund minus the 1^st night which I wasn’t going to cry over because they could have not given ANYTHING. We were able to find another room down the street at another hotel so it worked out. TAKE MY ADVICE THOUGH, DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

When I visited Miami again this past weekend, I decided to stay here again due to the great hotel location on 9^th & Collins and the price per night. This time around I stayed in a jr. suite with 2 other friends– 2 of us on the queen size bed and the other on the couch.
The room itself was ok– the AC is amazing and gets super cold which is a relief from the hot weather outside, but the water running from the bathroom shower head had terrible pressure & seemed cloged causing water not to exit properly.
We also had roaches in our room and saw them in the kitchen window sill & closets.
That was gross. Since my friend is from Miami, we pregamed with some of her friends in our room (Friday night at 12am-​ish) and had someone from the front desk come by and tell us that we already had 3 noise complaints. Like really? Its a Friday night for heavens sake.
The hotel is in a great location, but that’s not enough to make me want to stay here again.

I gave it a star just for rating purposes but its a 0 start to me! The reason its a 1star is due to poor restroom conditions (i.e., torn blinds and mold) and our room was not ready till a day later plus I was not even refunded what they promised to return! It was uncomfortable to take a shower since the next building prob could see :0 anyway, the best about this place is the location and kitchen. STAY AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Stood here once and it wasn’t what I expected. :/
First we had to wait for two hours for our room to be cleaned/​ready. Next, the room we stood in the first night was infested with mosquito’s! I woke up with one eye swollen from a mosquito bite. :(
They were nice enough to change our room and it was much better, but i walked around with a knot on my eye for the rest of my trip.
I thought the rooms would be cleaner from the pics online, but they were so so.
I don’t think I’ll be staying here again.

The pictures online looked very nice but once i got there it was eh.ok.
We had a large group so we had 4 rooms. 3 rooms on the street level were not as nice. All the beds were uncomfortable, you can feel the bed springs and the AC unit were old. The room on the second floor was better surprisingly.
For my room i had the sign «do not disturb» and they came in to make our beds.
Can’t complain about the location since it’s close to everything. Nice outdoor seatings.

I’ve stayed here a few times and each experience has been good. The rooms are a nice size, have 2 closets with plenty of hangers, a full kitchen, and dining table. It’s basically a studio apartment, complete with wood floors.
The location is convenient to the beach, shopping, clubs, and restaurants, all with varying price points. It can get a little loud late at night when the party scene descends on Collins.
All in all, I could live here for a few months and be comfortable, and that’s saying a lot for a budget priced hotel.

Bienvenidos a Miami! I spent my 30^th birthday in this lovely simple chic hotel. This is my favorite place to stay when I go to SOBE! The staff is super friendly, and the accomodations are very reasonable, nice, apartment style, close to the beach and all the action. Sure you can drop mad duckets on the higher-​end swanky hotels on the beach, but how much time are you really spending in your room anyway???

I was initially going to stay Villa Paradiso as this is the sister hotel but because it was already booked they moved us over to the Loft. I thought it was in a GREAT location onn Collins between 9^th and 10^th, just one block from the beach. It’s a great value for the «chic» suites they offer. Considering you aren’t really going to be spending much time in the room, it sufficed. They beds were very comfortable and like I said can’t beat the location or the price. I would definitely stay here again.

I like this hotel because it’s like staying in your friend’s cool apartment, without the friend. Hardwood floors, full kitchen, and more importantly, full refrigerator for cold bev-​o-​rages. Central location and reasonably priced.
