Had the best time!! The board games were great fun for my son and I to enjoy. Zombie Tacos was delicious. Cocktails were yummy!! Loved everything about the experience and will be making many more appearances in the near future!! read more

Good service, fun environment. There is this spicy jalapeño drink which was amazing! I will definitely I will be going back and the 24/7 taco window is awesome! read more

This is part of the Marriott Hotel group. It has a modern look but the furniture has that retro look. They have retro board games, a foosball table and a shuffle board. The stairwell has art work between the first and second floor. They also will have DJ's during the weekend. I haven't seen a room yet 'cause there all booked. I know it's a hotel but they don't have any TV's in the lobby nor ice machines. read more

I LOVE MIKE! (From front desk) I stayed at the Moxy on July 28th, 2018. We originally had a reservation at a different Marriott location, but we were overbooked. Not only did we get our stay completely covered, but we received complimentary drinks for the inconvenience as well. Additionally, one of my guests decided to bring a fern, a type of tree, back with her. We were told that it was not allowed in the hotel. We were told that we had to throw it away. Mike, then, had a BRILLIANT Idea! He went above and beyond and helped us make sure that we could keep the fern safe, unlike his superiors. Additionally, he was able to assist us with some things that we needed. He was kind, extremely helpful, and I cannot thank him enough! THANKS MIKE, AND GOODNIGHT! read more

This hotel is amazing. From check in to check out, the service was awesome (hey Caroline!!), drinks were great, and who doesn't love 24hr tacos?! The vibe is very fun, rooms are comfortable and efficient - very much adult hostel vibes, because do you really need that much room for a weekend trip? Will definitely recommend and stay again! read more

This review is for the bar/lounge area. I hosted my birthday here based off reviews and pictures without ever walking in. The vibe was exactly what I was looking for. Crowded enough but not too crowded to host a party for about 20. I reserved the Graffiti Nook which is a semi private space that had great decor. The staff also took time to add some balloons, other decorations and lay out games. Not to mention all the games throughout the place. Shout out to Turquois for being an awesome manager and taking care of me and my guests. The DJ (who was a woman!) was great, provided great music to chill to and dance to if you wanted. I had ordered apps for my guests but you could order a full dinner from Zombie Tacos if you wanted. The only recommendation I have is to have the food on real plates when its for a party, but no one cared and I had a fantastic time! Highly recommend this place! read more

I would Highly recommend this hotel. Great atmosphere. Customer service is fantastic. Zombie tacos are Amazing. I really enjoyed the Living Room common area. If you're looking for something uniquely different then this is the place to stay. read more

Stayed here this past grand opening week. The place is very hip and captures the same vibe I got from the other Moxys I've stayed at. The rooms are pretty small, but designed in such a way that it doesn't feel as cramped as a tiny room should be. Decent downtown location, walking distance to Michigan ave and Navy Pier. read more

See all

Great environment and incredible service. Very helpful staff and manager checked on us even thou it was a slow morning

Amazing! Such a unique property compared to the standard boring bed-and-bath types. This is outside-the-box fun. Not for the boring!

Few things more annoying than trying out a new restaurant with good expectations and having an all-around awful experience. I'd seen the new neon sign for months now. Sleek, cool, and enticing. Was never sure what the whole building was about but finally went by there a couple of times close enough to see the restaurant on the first floor. Earlier tonight, a Sunday evening, I had some time to kill earlier so I decided to give it a try. From the second you walk in you notice the atmosphere in the nighttime, and something you don't often see in night time spots: games on table tops. Uno, even Connect Four! Remember that one? A throwback from the 70s commercials? Well if you do, chances are you may also end up hating your experience in Moxy as well. What I was expecting to be a chilled, laid back restaurant experience turned out to be the equivalent to the club scene on Division. Maybe it's just not my market. Maybe they want the 20 and 30 somethings, because on this early Sunday evening, a Monday morning start of a new work week less than 12 hours away for most, the Bros were out in full force, flexing their guns, bumping into the back of my chair, and yelling at the top of their fantasy football voices as they did their best to attract the attention of the 20 to 30 something women throughout the bar. Yes, now I'm calling it a bar. Which, would have been fine, had I known what it was in advance. Apparently, neither was it the market for a couple about my age - early 50s, who were sitting next to me at first, but when the Bros started howlin' and yellin', those two started walkin'. Then there was the food experience. Ahhh. First thing I asked for was a Corona. They had well over 200 bottles of spirits on the shelf behind the bar, but they didn't serve Corona. The waitress was very sweet, however she was also very young, and new. There's no need whatsoever to be personal about her, but I had this strong feeling that this was no veteran. Hey everybody has to start somewhere. I felt that she was not getting support from coworkers and it looked chaotic to me, behind the bar. It worried to think how it'd look on a busy Saturday night. What she lacked in experience, though, she made up for in kindness. She made an attempt to offer suggestions of possible different options other than Corona. When none of them matched what I was looking for I just smiled and told her that I'd simply go with water. For the food though, I explained to her that I did not want anything spicy, so when she showed me the tacos section on the menu - which was pretty much the entire food menu, I noticed that a couple could be spicy. She offered to put some of the spices to the side so it would not be directly on the taco. I agreed and went with the chicken, pork, and Korean BBQ. I sat there on Division on LaSalle, waiting for the food. It probably took about 15 minutes, a little longer then I expected for a few tacos. To my surprise the tacos actually came sooner than my water that I had ordered first. I wasn't going to say anything as I watched her serve about seven other customers who brushed up next to me to give their numerous orders one after another. Finally, the tacos came. The first one, was the pork and I was able to eat that one just fine. The second one was perhaps the Korean. I didn't ask which was which and she hadn't instructed me. I took one bite of the second taco and the heat rushed into my mouth that I had to put that one aside after one bite. The third was the chicken which I ate just fine but I was still reeling from the heat of the second taco. When I finished I just asked for my check and it was then when she finally remembered that I had ordered a water! She did rush immediately to prepare a glass of water and set it down in front of me. The cost of this experience came out to $11, and I tipped her and thanked her. However, to get rid of that awful taste and pissed off feeling of striking out, I ended up going to an entirely different type of restaurant and spending $35.00. At least they had Corona. As for Moxy, I walked out and expect I will never walk back in again. read more

So instead of making rooms available in the system as they become available they wait until 2pm to flip all the dirty rooms that are clean to available So in other words there can be 15 room upstairs clean and ready to go at noon but they will make you sit and wait until 2pm this is what i was told by a front desk associate with the manager or supervisor sitting close by .... so this is moxy standard doesn't matter if you're gold platinum silver a base member an employee or booking through 3rd party.. looks dope tho read more

Didn't stay here but came for drinks and a bite to eat since in the hood! Service horrible. Place had some people but not crowded at all. No one came. We had to go pull menus from another table and still no one came. But the hostess and a couple other waitresses were having a ball at the hostess desk. read more

This was very likely one of the best and most fun hotels I have ever stayed in. My girlfriend and I were there for our anniversary and unfortunately had to leave our first hotel, but in hindsight it was lucky that we did because of how awesome our experience was at the Moxy. The lobby is fun and interesting with plenty to do and the staff is ALL very personable and helpful. I felt welcomed the whole time and that they were excited to have us there. The rooms are cozy and comfortable with everything you need, and nothing that you don't. Would absolutely recommend this hotel and plan on staying here again next time we are in Chicago. Special shoutout to Lynn, the AGM, for being so helpful and hospitable. They really go the extra mile to make sure you have a great stay. read more

This place is absolutely sensational!!! Love the trendy, millennial feel to the hotel! Great job!

Great place for a drink, nice location, good ambience, good service. Sometimes the music is too loud, but that's not the end of the world

Between the atmosphere and the team members, this is the best hotel in Chicago. Coral made my trip amazing. She gave excellent recommendations and made me feel like family, which is rare in a hotel. read more

It's decent.. really fun place to hang out!

I've been at the hotel for less than 1 hour and the experience has been terrible so far. I paid extra for a nice corner view room. I get to my room and it's the clusterphobic interior room with no exterior view. I go back down to the front desk/bar and they said they ran out of the rooms I booked. I said I paid extra for a nicer room. He said all he could do is have his manager call me tomorrow and see if they can get me a different room tomorrow (I'm only staying 2 nights). I wish I had read reviews online prior to booking because the hotel website does not say there is no bathroom. It's like a NYC apartment that's 100 sqft with bedroom and bathroom in the same room. The tiny shower is literally 1 foot from the bed. The hotel website also does not detail that there is no closet. You literally hang your clothes from 4 hangers on knobs on the wall next to the TV. I thought those photos online were just a "decorative" theme of the room. I'm annoyed I'm paying over $500 a night for this room, so I head down to the bar. I sit there for 8 minutes and get ignored by 2 bartenders that walk by me several times without even acknowledging my existence. However 2 dudes who walk up after me, standing 2 feet from me, are immediately asked what they would like to drink. I literally had to yell to the bartender, "Excuse me! Am I invisible?!" I hope my stay improves but I don't have high hopes. I love Marriott "boutique" hotels but I'm really regretting giving Moxy a try. read more

The positive ratings for the bar atmosphere are correct. The hotel concept though is not good. This is NOT a business friendly hotel. The "cozy" room is bare bones. No closet, iron or coffee maker. The "desk" is a folding TV tray and the chair is a canvas folding stool. Both can be found hanging from pegs on the wall. If you plan to work in your room, don't stay here. Their motto is "Adulting is difficult". Even more difficult in this space. read more

I had such a great experience with Joey! First time I was here she has such a great character was very attentive to our needs and was so easy to talk to her spirit made this bar much easier to stick around too love her will Def be back with a bigger group!! Joey you were amazing ! read more

Any hotel that hands me a drink upon checkin is off on the right foot. I'm typically a Starwood's guy but this hotel is my new spot when staying in Chicago. Great staff and spot on service has the Moxy at the top of the list while remaining under my company's hotel limit read more

This hotel is super young and chic! The bartenders Shelby and Eric were the best! Super attentive and very friendly! Will stay at this place again just to see shelbu and Eric! read more

This hotel was awesome! It does lack some of the regular amenities that you are used to getting at a tradition hotel (i.e. closet, desk) but honestly has everything you need. It's more of European type hotel, the rooms are smaller than average. It was super clean and very new feeling. All the staff was very nice and actually made you feel very welcomed. It also is in a great location! Easily walk to the Riverwalk in under 10 minutes. The lobby has more of a lounge-like feel and has a great bar and Zombie Tacos which is excellent. They also have a great little walk in market where you can buy snacks and drinks and bring them up to your room. The bar was a lot of fun and it lights up at night! The rooms were very quiet despite the clubby atmosphere downstairs. All around a great stay, would definite recommend! read more

What an AMAZING hotel!! My husband and I came to Chicago for the weekend to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary and THIS place made it all worth the while. We HIGHLY recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a fun, unique place that is perfectly situated to everything. We walked EVERYWHERE. It was just perfect!! Not to mention the staff here is AWESOME... sooo friendly and accommodating. read more

10/10 would stay here again. The ambiance was great and the people here were way to get along with and really nice. The bar is really trendy and a cool place to hang out if you feel the cold is too much to go out. read more

Moxy is a fun place to hang out and have drinks. They have games set up and the staff is great. I specifically go in to visit Johnny because he never lets my drink go empty! read more

What a fun little hotel concept! I've see a TON of bars try to do the "hang out here and eat, have a drink, play board games" thing and usually connect 4 ends up dust covered in a corner. But people were doing all those things! In a hotel lobby, no less! Rooms are efficient efficiencies that get the job done with some fun little accents, like the retro phone and leather headboard. I almost felt so hip I nearly forgot I was in town for a friends 40th! Nearly. read more

I'm staying at the hotel but the first floor bar and dining room is very nice. The room itself is gorgeous and very clean. Love the interior design. I was originally on the 3rd floor and it was a little noisy being a Friday night and the bar being below me. I called the front desk and asked to be moved to a higher floor. Annie at customer service immediately moved me to the 8th floor, sincerely apologized for the inconvenience, and gave me some tokens for free food/drinks downstairs. I was so appreciative of her hard work in making my stay as comfortable as possible. Wonderful customer service, would definitely stay here again. read more

Very fun place to stay! The lobby has a warm but eclectic vibe. Games and activities everywhere, with a bar located in the center of the space. It is a great location, great price, and great drinks available in the lobby. We will stay here again! read more

Came In last Friday for a quick drink and food was greeted by Kayla! She was so pleasant that she convinced my best friends and I to come Saturday night for the show! Will defiantly be coming back! She made our night! Talk about hospitality read more

Stayed here for my 21st birthday and loved it. Book early though if you want a cheaper price and a room with a view. Offered a free cocktail when checking-in and the bar was popping every night. They also have a taco station that is open 24/7, for when you come back after drinking a few too many. Very close to the bars as well. Great decorations and vibe, very trendy. read more

The price and location were great, we were welcomed by the concierge and she was wonderful and let us check in early, we just had to wait while they got a room ready without a view-which wasn't a big deal for us, she brought us a free drink while we waited at the bar. The room was small but very clean! I specifically chose the Moxy because the Zombie Taco in the lobby is open 24hr day-the food was really good too! We also loved the game room and playing shuffle board. I would recommend their Moscow mule-it was the best Ive had. I saw some reviews of complaints about there not being a fridge or ice machine but the concierge told us it was European like style hotel and anything we needed she would provide for us. Overall I would recommend this hotel and will definitely be back ! read more

I work for the hotel industry and a very high end luxury hotel at that. I stayed here at the Moxy about a week ago and it was my boyfriend and I's first time in Chicago. When I tell you that we fell in love with this place, we loveeeeee this place!!! We can't wait to go back and visit Chicago because we have so much more to see, but we'll definitely be staying here every time we come back. From the warm welcome upon arrival to the we look forward to hanging out with you again, it was awesome. I'm a Marriott employee so I expected the bare minimum since I wasn't paying top notch price, um no! They were all so sweet and their recommendations for restaurants were amazing! They have a 24 hour taco window and they are SO GOOD! The lobby is only the place to be on any given night because so many people relax here and on some days they have a dj! The cocktails are amazing at the bar and ugh I can't wait to go back! They made me want to work at the moxy because of how much fun it was!! Thank you for making our first trip to Chicago so very memorable!! read more
