School 31 Lofts at Colors Studios

I was very pleased as I entered my spacious and clean loft! My 5 day stay was in a beautiful area and I had a great view of the Memorial Art Gallery. Big, beautiful bathroom with some small setbacks… no towel rack or hooks and no soap holder in the shower. Sounds minor but is really major in the scheme of things. I bought a sponge holder from TJ MAXX and attached it as a soap holder for my comfort during my stay. I hope this little/big thing is fixed in time for my next stay. I really loved staying here!

If you want to stay in a truly unique place, this is it! I love the thought of being in such a historic building. The checkin process is via code/virtual, so I did not encounter any staff personally. Very walkable to many art installations, restaurants, and the Public Market. We will stsy again!

Another great stay at this hotel. Everything was lovely, from the communication response, the beautiful space. Only thing that was still lacking was a microwave, but it wasn't a big deal.

Lovely place to gwt ready for my wedding Walking distance from the venue and great restaurants near by

I loved everything about the lofts and my stay. Will be back!

Unique building and theme. No staff at the front desk. Just a sign to call a number to get staff to show up. Front desk only available from 3pm to 5pm. Doors are locked to the front desk area all other times. No location maps. Easy to get disoriented within the building. No maps showing exits in case of emergency. Horrible mattress in the room. Won’t be back

Responsive service. Could have provided decaffeinated coffee. (I know that most think why bother, but I enjoy flavor.) Great walkable location. Need to be able to climb two full flights of stairs. A unique experience in a converted school. Cool vibe in the arts district.

Dirty tub, dirty cups... Broken shower knobs, toilet faced the bed and no door.

The School 31 lofts are very cool, and we always enjoy staying there when we are in Rochester. Do be careful, room 200 is quite different from the other rooms. It doesn’t have a kitchen and is much smaller and less private. However it is very pretty and the wet room is amazing. Just know that if you get that room it may not be what you are used to.

Was an interesting place to stay. Well-decorated and relaxing. Would stay again.

This place is so cool! It has a great vibe. The room is amazing. I loved hanging with my family for a movie night. So comfortable.

Our stay was great! I pictured the room being a little different than when I booked but no complaints, it was a great stay. The room was very cool, clean, and the bed was comfortable!

Overall I’d give the stay two stars. It is a unique old school building, with some lovely art deco type updates. Unfortunately, I looked at photos before booking and noted rooms with sofas, chairs, fridges, and hot tubs, and assumed our room would be the same. It was, instead, an extremely small, studio room, with no chairs, no table, no fridge, no room divider between the bath (not a hot tub, nor jetted), nor the toilet. The queen bed sank in the middle, so was extremely uncomfortable for two people, and definitely needs replacing, The room was very drafty, having ill-fitting, non insulated French windows opening onto a non-usable balcony. Check-in is supposed to be automated, so you don’t meet anyone at reception, but share your ID and credit card online and get your room code messaged to you. If you don’t know this before registering, (which we did not), it is disconcerting and inconvenient.

Great stay, bed needs replacement but great stay

Cool place, not convenient at all

The room was just okay. The blanket on my bed was like a hospital blanket and the shower was broken so I couldn't shower before an important business meeting. I called to see if I could get help and I was told to call back after 9am.

The room was neat and an artsy way. Had had a large tub. Open floor plan. The exposed toilet was not my favorite. There were a few problems. There was a small leak above the bed. Probably from the roof, it was raining hard. I moved to bed, so it wasn't a big deal. The bed itself though, had a trough in the middle and was uncomfortable. In the middle of the night I heard people talking in the hallway. I waited a while and decided to ask them to go back into the room. When I went into the hallway, there was nobody there and I didn't hear anybody. I thought they must have gone back inside. When I went back into my room I heard them clear as day. The acoustics of the building are strange.

Good

When you book a room here they send you a text with the room number and door code. Well last time I stayed here which was 2023 I was in room 201 this time when I went (2025) I read the old text and went to room 201 and entered the code from the year 2023 and the door opened when I stated to walk in I saw there were clothes on the bed i immediately closed the door and re looked at my phone when i realized my room was 215 after i got in my room i left because I realized if i can get in to someone else’s room they can get into mine and these doors do not have an additional lock inside. I was totally unsafe !!

Everything was great. We will stay here again.
