There are four 1-bedroom and twenty-eight 2-bedroom boutique hotel loft units within the restored Richardson Romanesque J.A. Webb building. Once an industrial belt and hose factory built in 1878, the building was restored and converted into condominiums in 2007 and then, in November 2012 it became Lofts on Pearl. There are also banquet facilities and meeting space on the main floor and lower levels.

Checking in…

We stayed in Suite 503, which they called “River View”. Yes, you can see the river, but you can also see the highway.

With one queen size bed in each bedroom and a fold-out sofa in the living room, this makes it ideal for 2-3 couples or a family of 6. The single bathroom also has two sinks to accommodate a hectic morning rush to get out the door and start enjoying the sights of Buffalo.

Lofts on Pearl – Living Room Area

Even though we only stayed one night at Lofts on Pearl, we liked the convenience of having a refrigerator to keep our bottled water cold, microwave to heat up some nibbles and dishwasher to wash our dishes. Much better enjoying an evening cup of tea in an actual mug versus in a Styrofoam cup!

Breakfast is included and is served in the sister property Brawlers Deli located on the lower level of the Pearl Street Grill on the corner. A voucher is provided for redemption and is valued at $5 so, if you don’t like the complimentary breakfast offerings, you can apply the $5 towards anything on the menu. I dined on a typical diner breakfast of bacon, eggs, toast and a tea and my cost was about $1.

There are a few things that should be noted:

  • The loft was very bare bones and lacked any decorations which is quite surprising considering the highly decorated luxurious rooms of the sister property Hotel Lafayette.
  • Sound echoes throughout the loft, and you can hear people in the other units and hallways. The noise isn’t a surprise to the staff because there is a sign in the kitchen explaining this fact and requesting that you keep noise to a minimum.
  • For a loft that technically could sleep 6, there is only a small table with seating for 2 and an extra chair at the desk area. So, even though there is a full kitchen, you can’t have a full sit down meal.
  • There is no valet parking.
