We enjoyed our stay. I will book again, however, there’s no central a/c. They have window units which were ok. However, I sent my son home to get floor fans which helped circulate the cold air from the window units. Also, the living room furniture not so comfortable. I wish there was a more comfortable fold out couch and side chairs. We spent a lot of time in this area and it was just hard to get comfortable. Last, no extra linens. If you book, bring extra blankets, sheets, etc there’s none.

Appliances were broken. The dishwasher wasn't useful. The washer dryer combo's door wasn't latching correctly, we had to set the trash can in front if it.The air conditioners were leaking on the floors. I ordered a body board and didn't get, I was told it would be at our door at 12 - 1pm and it didn't show. I called to check on it and i got a automatic answering machine saying no one was available and I still got charged for it. It was nice to have a home setting and the grocery store near by. The restaurants were great and the local coffee shop. I just would have liked to have a better functioning place to stay plus for the money we spent. It's not ideal for a easy going vacation we had in mind.

They were super kind and accommodating—definitely 5 stars for customer service! Based on how I was treated, I’d consider coming back just for that reason.However, the listing wasn’t accurately described. The space is very small, and climbing three flights of stairs without an elevator was tough—especially with kids and luggage. The area around the entrance felt unsettling, with questionable activity nearby. There's a late-night grocer around the corner, but unfortunately, it attracts a number of individuals who made us feel unsafe.Parking was also a challenge, with no free options nearby. The closest garage is two blocks away and costs 25 a day. On the plus side, the loft itself was reasonably clean.All in all, I was not impressed. I’d rate the building 2 stars and the location just 1 star.

Don't stay here

I booked this place thinking it was going to be an amazing trip. Boy was I wrong, not only was the loft not what the pictures described but it had a horrible odor and the elevator didn't work. Our loft was on the third floor and the stairs sound and felt like you where going to fall though them at any moment. Within a few minutes of me walking in I had trouble breathing from the smell. The furniture had all kind of stains it was horrible. The tub had mold all around it and the floors where disgusting. I tried call someone and they kept hanging up in my face. Then I checked my account to find out to find out that they keep hitting my account for way more than I even knew. I wouldn't advise anyone to rent this loft or from these people *SCAM*

We loved the loft!! We just wish the elevator had been working. Three flights of stairs with a two year old is a lot. But with that being said, the loft is stunning & I highly recommend it if you’re wanting to be close to The Strand like we were.

We stay in Galveston regularly and this was our second time at League Lofts and despite there being many options of accommodations on the island we cannot avoid the urge to return to the lofts. This trip was for a combination of work and play but we were able to fit everything and then some into our schedule due to the location. The lofts are extremely well kept up and make us feel at home every time. This is a standard that STR's should aspire to, until next time League Lofts. Thank You a ton!

Nice place

For two couples it worked perfectly for a night before a cruise place to stay. Close to all the restaurants. Would recommend another area like a vanity with a mirror and chair so that someone can get ready while the other is in the bathroom as there is only one bathroom with the only mirror. Bummed there wasn’t an elevator but it is what it is. Check in process was easy. Overall, great place for a quick trip.

We stayed here for Mardi Gras weekend and it was a perfect location! The loft was clean, comfy and cute. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was stocked with everything you need including a waffle maker. You can will need to bring your own Shampoo and Conditioner and a bag of ice since the isn’t an ice maker. But we plan to be back next year for Mardi Gras and will try book again. The property manager was very accommodating and great with communication.

No parking there is no where to park other than the 2 every hour parking or the sides down the block far from the building. The floors make so much noise and the bed is very bad quality cheaply made everything is run down!!! and the other half of the building is vacant There was stains on the pillowcase!!! and no Elevators we had a family member that just had surgery he was crawling up the stairs to the THIRD FLOOR!!! crazy crazy If you are looking for something cheap and quick this is for you .

The loft was extremely clean and very cute! Parking was great - two hours at a time but nothing overnight so we didn’t have to pay at all (I think the overnight hours were 6 pm - 8 am?). It’s on the top floor so the only traffic you can hear were people walking by - no upstairs noise. Overall, it was great - I can’t imagine anything I would ask for. Responses were almost immediate from the hosts. We will check availability next time we return to town!
