Not breakfast or restaurant at the hotel. Air conditioner is mediocre. No mini fridges, coffee- just a basic room. No blackout curtains so that was hard with sun coming up so early. Basic room, very expensive for what it is. Decent location, nice staff and clean.

Parking was difficult and/or expensive. The add stated the room slept 3 when it really only slept 2. This was very disappointing and deceiving. The hotel had a good overall vibe.

Everything was great for our stay. I arrived prior to check in and just had a few questions about parking. After asking my questions she offered to check me in early! The staff in the restaurant were attentive and food was delicious. We made it to the lobby bar and again, the bartender was friendly and attentive. Overall a great stay, just wish there would have been a pool or hot tub available.
Such a cute phone in the room!

I love this Moxy hotel! The staff is always super friendly and it's always well-maintained. I overheard someone complaining about the lack of in-room features to staff, so I was to clarify that the property is "European-style". The rooms do not much for bedside surfaces, no mini fridge, no microwave, and no closet. I love this aspect of Moxy hotels, so if you are looking for something more traditional of a hotel, this is not for you. Lots of common space though. There are pegs on the wall in your room with hangers and you can help yourself to extra supplies from the hallway closets. The showers are wonderful and the bed is comfortable. Will definitely stay here again!
