    Sometimes, on a stormy night in a city that isn't home, you have to pivot and unexpectedly change your plans. And sometimes on such an occasion, the universe provides beyond your wildest expectations. In my case, the universe pointed me in the direction of a warm, quirky neon oasis on the Lower East Side. From the moment I stumbled out of my taxi at their doorstep, drenched and exhausted, my bags were taken care of and I was welcomed by friendly and caring people, who assured me I was in the right place, and that they had a really nice room ready for me. My palace for the night came with a partial city view (I believe the building in front of my windows might have helped make the room so nice and quiet), free breakfast, and the most wonderfully quiet, dark and comfortable room to crash in for twelve hours straight. Exactly what I didn't even realize I needed after a long and stressful travel day. I did not want to leave, and I will gladly return any time.

    My husband and I stayed here for his business trip to NY. His restaurant is located about 5 mins away so we stayed here for location purposes. The hotel is very nice and chic. I will say the rooms are fairly small and not great for longer term stay; I think a max of 2 nights before it feels unpleasantly small. The bathroom doesn't have a real door or lock, it's just a sliding door which is weird. Overall, it was a convenient spot for us but not an ideal or comfortable hotel arrangement for long stay.

    I was really excited to stay at the Moxy. I've stayed in one before and loved it. I enjoy funky boutique hotels. Walking into the lobby, I fell in love. It's aesthetic and lively. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Absolutely fantastic staff--cannot say enough good things. The rooms disappoint though. The room is tiny, which is fine, but I feel like with a small room the layout and organization needs to be perfect and this wasn't. More hooks are needed. The pull down table didn't work. Pillow cases were dirty. The pillows were awful. Absolutely no support. The shower was really nice, which is appreciated. However, the room was not thoroughly cleaned. Drop-off/pick-up on the side street is easy, which is great. The parking garage is about a 10 minute walk away in Chinatown. I think we paid $55 for 24 hours for a sedan. Valet is per day, not per 24 hours, so we used the garage, which is an iPark at 44 Elizabeth Street. Would be helpful if the website had this information, but silly of me to expect that in 2024. I had to call the hotel. Overall, the website is unhelpful. I loved the service at the lobby bar. I had an espresso martini and an espresso martini shot, and both were great. In the morning, we got lattes and croissants from the Cafe D'Avignon in the lobby. The lattes were blah but the croissants were great. It opened at 7:30, not 7, as stated. This hotel could be great but it just isn't, and it has turned me off from Moxy in the future.

    Lobby with lots of seating options

    Had a great stay at the Moxy Lower East Side during our family event in NY! The whole place is so quirky and fabulously decorated. See pics for sexy AF curtains, foliage coming out of the ceiling, Ms. Pac-Man and shuffleboard, and birdcage seating. Check out the basement vending machine, where you can get deodorant AND butt plugs. Staff at the front desk are very kind, helpful and patient. My in-laws were obnoxious with the questions and requests, and the staff always kept a sense of humor. God bless them. Rooms are....NY small, efficient and offer little privacy from people you're with. We're a family of four with two teens and it was a cozy, intimate experience. A few more hooks for hanging towels and coats would make a huge difference, as would a set of instructions to describe how to work the ridiculous lighting system. Other pros: this location is right on the cusp of Lower East Side, Little Italy and Chinatown, so the food options within a few blocks are plentiful. Easy access to the subway. Quiet rooms, and super comfy beds. All in all, we'd definitely stay here again on another trip to NY!

    Truly love this hotel--4th time back! It's such a gem for the price. The king suites are huge for NYC, with big windows that let in tons of light and give you that perfect city vibe. Beds? V comfy. Seriously, some of the best I've slept on. That said, if you're going to have a king bed, where are the king pillows??? Come on Moxy! Feels like a no-brainer, but whatever, still slept great. The rooms run a little chilly, which is ideal if you're a hot sleeper like me, though the bathroom situation is a bit... open. If you're staying with someone you love, you'll survive. The hotel is super close to SoHo and steps from the Grand St. station (B/D subway), so getting around is easy. It's also right by Chinatown and Little Italy, meaning amazing food options just outside your door. The 01 block of rooms has been super quiet--I stayed in 1101 and 901 and loved both. Though shelving and hooks are SO desperately needed. Send me to Home Depot, guys...I'll fix it myself. Bonus points for the smiling doorman (always so kind) and free coffee every day--it's included in the "resort fee", which is a nice way of spinning $30 a day you didn't plan to spend but have to. I didn't try the hotel restaurants, but with all the great food nearby, you can't go wrong. This place is an unbeatable value in NYC. Despite a few quirks, I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

    Candy dispenser in the lobby

    I love the Moxy brand, and Moxy NYC Lower East Side is the coolest Moxy that I have stayed in so far. The design of the hotel seems to mix retro, whim, and chic together, such as a neon sign, candy dispensers, a bear statue, and greenery in the lobby. It sounds so random, but it all works somehow. The rooms are small, space efficient, and minimalist, but there are little pops of color and design to make it feel vibrant. My friend and I stayed in a room with two double beds. It was not a lot of space, but we made it work. The sleeping room lacks space, but the rest of the hotel has ample space. Food and beverage options in the hotel are plentiful. The Fix is the lobby cafe and bar. Sake No Hana is a Japanese izakaya. Silver Lining Lounge is a piano bar. Loosie's is the club. The Highlight Room is the rooftop bar. The Fix is a beautiful space, and it is where you can use your destination fee credit. I spent a bit of time there. I got work done during the daytime, and my friend and I hung out the bar in the evening. The bar staff is wonderful. However, the DJ that night was a rude and entitled human being who would come up to the bar demanding things and giving the staff an earful. Silver Lining Lounge was a disappointment. I had a reservation, and when I arrived, the hostess asked whether I wanted to sit at a table or the bar. I chose the bar and was told it was open seating, but there were no seats available. I ended up awkwardly standing and trying not to be in the staff's way. It was also right when an intermission started, so I ended up quickly downing a beer and leaving. It would have been nice if the hostess checked or knew the status of the bar before offering it as a seating option. Had things gone a little differently, I probably would have had a great time. The hotel is in a great location. It borders Lower East Side and Little Italy, and it is close to Chinatown and SoHo. There is plenty to do at the hotel with all the food and beverage venues onsite. The rooms are on the affordable side though the food and beverage will be where you end up pouring your money into if you hang out at the hotel. I would definitely stay here again, but I hope they find more pleasant DJs to work with.

For this Marriott the location is excellent if you are going to watch a show on Broadway. Very convenient for the play and also get a subway to anywhere else you have to go. The rooms are generally very nice and this hotel also has everything connected and controlled through a tablet which is very appealing to me. They also have a nice bar right in the hotel that is open till late. The only downside is the size. Now hotels in major cities like this like New York or Tokyo are small and pricey. Two things that can sort of negatively affect your opinion but considering they are all like that in the area, you have to compare accordingly. The only real downside for me is that the toilet is literally next to to the shower to the point that you could shower while using the toilet (I took a picture of my hand holding the shower handle on top of the toilet seat as a joke) and the sink is outside to wash your hands after using the restroom. I feel that they could have done a better design for this to avoid it. It didn't appeal to me and it's the only thing keeping me from giving this hotel 5 stars. I will probably stay here again when I go to watch another play.

It didn't help that everyone had to take an elevator just to reach the lobby, then another to get to their room. Fortunately, I was only on the ninth floor...so I got my steps in. The room itself was mostly ok. One thing I really didn't like was the air conditioning. It wouldn't cool below 68 degrees. I despise hotels that throttle the A/C.

Maybe they're going for an industrial look, but it was basically unfinished concrete. Other than those complaints, everything else in the room was perfectly acceptable, and for a one night stay, it did the job.
