    Ok I wanna start with addressing negative comments I've read regarding noise. Folks, you have got to research hotel neighborhoods before booking! It's imperative. The hotel is located in the heart of a downtown entertainment section on Main Street. It's literally in the middle of 3-4 clubs which don't even open until 8-9 pm. That is where the loud music and noise comes from & not the hotel. How is the hotel to blame? Secondly, I've read reviews that are negative regarding the hotel lobby bar being loud and a party spot and not for kids. Again, research. With that said, we were in the bar & lounge area at different times. Times when folks were having a meal or drink, couples, groups, and families! Part of the lounge is like a living area with a tv and space for parents to chill with their kids. The small but roomy bar has several seating areas as well. The entire space is welcoming and cozy without being cramped. They do get crowds from the clubs next door but it's nothing crazy. Quite frankly, I don't know how anyone would hear noise from the hotel bar/restaurant over the thumping and pumping from before mentioned clubs. We were fully aware of what we were getting into when we booked. Guess what? It's really not that bad at all. Especially since the rooms come with sound machines and we used noise canceling AirPods if it got too loud (which it really didn't). This was on a weekend too. If you don't want to be surrounded by nightlife, due diligence is your friend. About the rest of the hotel- I'm a huge fan of the minimalist, boho chic hotel. I love that there aren't dressers and other furniture to clutter up the rooms. Tons of wall hooks work perfectly for hanging all clothing. I mean who really uses the dressers anyway? Lots of fun and cute little things in the room. For instance, if you want a bedtime story, just pick up the phone. Once you do you'll get a recorded story narrated by Chloe Fineman (such a huge fan)! Bed is super comfy with space for two people to stretch out. Extremely clean room & bathroom. Bathroom is subway tile with higher end shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc. Hairdryer and steamer in room as well (perfect for a shirt I needed to de-wrinkle). Check-in is at the front of the bar as soon as you walk in and it's easy/breezy. Employees are super friendly and nice. We used our free drink tokens for mocktails and they were fab. I would 100% stay here again.

    Room was decorated boutique style and reminiscent of NYC for us. The subway tile in the bathroom and the views certainly added to that vibe. Handy storage places also fun. The market portion was nice. The not so great... Blaring DJ left us no place to sit with our pizza. The next day we would find out there was a mezzanine. Wish we had some intro at check in. Welcome drink was terrible. They sold it as a liquor with tonic and strawberry puree, but actually no puree. More of a Truly with extra vodka. They showed food on Website, but nothing visible at hotel. The TV was loosely hanging on wall so my other half tightened that and the sink so we could use both. Room for improvement.

    I came to the grand opening of Moxy Houston Downtown! It is newly opened as of December 2023 and located in the historic building that used to be a bank. If you are familiar with the Moxy brand, you know they offer a boutique, fun, and unique experience. Moxy Houston Downtown has elements of Space City, bank themes, and if you look closely, hints of University of Houston and Rice University. Conveniently located in Downtown Houston on Main Street in front of a Metro Rail stop which is great if you want to utilize public transport for your stay! There are also plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance. The rooms utilize space in a fun and functional way. There is even a bunk option which is a playful choice for travel with kids or those youthful at heart. Now, even if you don't stay, they have a great bar with happy hour specials.

    Very welcoming place, dog friendly. Loved the atmosphere and the whole vibe. The only thing I did not like is that the rooms were small and there was no microwave or fridge. But there is a bar downstairs, which they give you free tokens for a drink and a restaurant next door and multiple other places to eat in the surrounding

    Everything was great until we realized (after we left the state on our way home) that the valet staff WRECKED our truck and didn't tell us anything about it! We took a sharp turn and heard the tire rubbing really hard on something, got our and see the front bumper pushed completely in by the tire headlight pushed in, and a small hole in the body above it. Called the hotel and they said they needed to get with the head of valet and they would call us back. Six hours now and nothing yet! Furious is an understatement!

    Such a cute hipster hotel located in the heart of downtown Houston! I got in late on a Wednesday and the bartender was gracious enough to let me order a drink with a minute to spare. You're gifted a Moxy chip upon arrival for a free cocktail (restrictions apply). The rooms have sound machines and ear plugs to accommodate for the tram that runs downtown. It's also next to a club, like stumbling distance.... HA! They have little stash bins on each floor that has any toiletries you may have forgotten. This place has KILLER breakfast options, and a decent selection for coffee beverages. (THEY HAVE A ESPRESSO MACHINE) Only reason they're getting docked a star is because the morning manager? (the male with glasses) was A LOT to handle so early in the morning... *I'll take one of whatever he has before each shift!

    The picture of this hotel is absolutely beautiful and the cost was a bit high so I thought it would be a larger sleeping area but I was wrong. First of all while in Houston finding a place to park was incredibly daunting! We got in front of the hotel and asked where to park and the gentleman said that he was valet so that was great but then someone comes out with the very high valet prices but I had already jumped out of the car sand committed myself and our car to be parked by these very expensive valets. So getting past that we continue to "check in", very tacky sign by the way for this beautiful establishment, and this gentleman checked us in and we were given 2 poker chips good for 2 drinks, nice touch. We went upstairs to our room and when we walked in I was surprised at how nice the bathroom looked and then reality, the room was ridiculously small , no fridge, no closet, no ice, no space. If you don't care about where you sleep then you're good. My bed didn't even have a fitted sheet on it was a top sheet tucked under mattress. But you see I care about the size of my room, if you don't care then you would love it! There was a steamer, that was a pleasant surprise. All in all the service was nice but I probably won't go back. The lobby was absolutely beautiful

Thumbs Up: The rooftop lawn and garden are beautiful and provide a relaxing place to enjoy the city skyline. Thumbs Up: Portions of the rooftop are dedicated to gardens that grow fresh produce, adding a unique touch to the space. Neutral: I wasn't able to determine where the harvested produce ultimately goes. I'm sure the information is available somewhere, but I don't recall seeing it during my visits. Thumbs Up: I can actually see my home from the rooftop. Thumbs Up: I've watched a few rooftop concerts from my balcony. Thumbs Up: As an added bonus, it's always entertaining to hear some of my neighbors complain about the "noise pollution" during HOA meetings. Living Downtown comes with unique advantages and occasional inconveniences. If someone can't tolerate city life, they may be happier living in the suburb provinces. Thumbs Down: Access to the rooftop is sometimes restricted during seasonal events and special art installations. I understand the need for ticketed events, but I wish general access to the public spaces could remain available whenever practical. Thumbs Down: I am able-bodied, but I couldn't help noticing that rooftop access appears difficult for visitors who use wheelchairs or have mobility impairments. The elevators are not easy to locate, and several were out of service during my many visits. Improving accessibility would make this space more welcoming for everyone.

They host an array of events and activities (some are free, while others are ticketed). Events and activities include live music, DJs, yoga, Zumba, and seasonal events like Winter Wonderlawn during Christmas and Lunar New Year. There are seven gardens which take up about an acre. There's signs throughout the lawn that explain the different gardens and various spaces. Sky Farm is operated by Blackwood Educational Land Institute and they focus on regenerative agriculture and cultivation of food. The Outpost can be rented for events. Yelp Houston has hosted some events at the Outpost in the past. During the summer, it gets very hot! They have quite a few covered/shaded areas and there's vendors throughout if you need water or a beverage. There's lots of seating too (both covered and uncovered). A visit to Post Houston isn't complete without making the trek up to Skylawn! The views alone are worth it!

But The have a nice parking lot next door to the building. During the course of the reception a number of cars were vandalized/robbed (broken windows and ransacking the contents). It wasn't even dark yet. Mine was one of them. It could have easily been mitigated by a rent-a-cop. Take note as this was a very avoidable event. Beware and if you rent the venue get your own security if the venue doesn't care.

They have a great parking lot, especially for a venue so close to downtown. However, Paula told me to park on the street literally a few feet from the entrance (really helpful since I am usually the first person to leave). I would describe the wedding as "magical". Station 3 has a magical quality that is hard to describe. It's not very big so the guests were literally only a few feet from me. However, it added an intimacy that really made this venue and the wedding stand out. I have no control over where my clients book their weddings but Station 3 would be high on my list as a recommendation. However, my perspective may be quite different since I am a vendor and not a client but I would jump at the chance to return. I loved it.

Nestled in the historic and vibrant area known as "The Heights," it truly feels like a hidden gem. I chose this location for my husband's 40th birthday bash, and let me tell you, it was the best decision ever! With a Casino Royale James Bond theme, I wanted a venue that could deliver an exclusive vibe, and 1111 Studewood Place did not disappoint. My husband was completely surprised and in awe of the space, and it certainly wowed our guests! I've never received so many compliments during a party; everyone was thrilled by the beautiful details and had an absolute blast! A huge shoutout to Muyiwa, who is a complete professional! He attended to my every need and was a master at putting out fires before I even realized there was a problem. His connections with vendors made everything seamless--from catering and wait staff to casino tables, beverages, decorations, and luxury lounge seating. He offers these services as add-ons or can provide contact information, which took so much stress off my shoulders during the planning process. Oh and as so many others have mentioned parking, valet included! I did add a backdrop for some extra flair, but honestly, the venue is gorgeous on its own! The event was an absolute blast--we danced the night away and truly felt like we were in the movie Casino Royale. I wouldn't hesitate to host another event here; in fact, everyone at my party was so impressed that they immediately started planning their next event at this venue! The rooftop setup is fantastic, giving you the best of both worlds. If it rains, you still have a beautiful indoor space to enjoy. It's clear that this venue is thoughtfully designed, and my husband and his friends had the time of their lives. They even mentioned how jealous they were and wished their wives would plan something similar for them--so I think I earned the best wifey award! I highly recommend 1111 Studewood Place. Don't hesitate to book your event here; you'll definitely be the talk of the town!
