Modern but tiny rooms. No parking. Online or shows kids aren't allowed but when we arrived there were kids there. Bar is the main point of this place, but beware - that brings lots of intoxicated people and one guy even pissed in front of us by the elevators. Will not ever stay in one again unless desperate. Clean but very uncomfortable rooms to get around in. read more

Moxy Washington, DC Downtown - Moxy - Hotels Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Here for a group happy hour on a Friday. Three bartenders and service is slow. There's no organization behind the bar and too many people. The bartenders have to serve food and act as bar backs. We won't be back. read more

Clean, centralized and fun hotel to stay at! The lobby is very welcoming and feels like a community space with great seating options and board games throughout. The design of the hotel is very trendy and very non traditional hotel layout. Upon checking in you walk up to a bar and receive a free drink voucher. The lobby in the evening time opens up to the public space outside and feels more like a lay back bar spot to chill at. There is music playing and quite a few people but the noise does not carry into the hotel room or the hallway which is a plus. I do feel this place is more suited towards a younger crowd and not for young families to stay at. read more

We stayed here for our honeymoon and it's the most amazing hotel I have ever stayed at! It's beautiful and exciting and overall great. The staff is helpful and accommodating. They wrote cute notes for us on the windows and mirrors and gave us a great bottle of sparkling wine with balloons on the bed, very beautiful. It's downtown so it's a very easy walk to any bar or restaurant around this area, as well as close to the metro for easy city access. Our room had an amazing 13th floor city view which was beyond exquisite! Shoutout to Sal Zelawwar especially for upgrading us to one of the best rooms in the hotel and being super accommodating. read more

I stayed at the Moxy for one night using a Marriott discount through a family member. For lite travel I think the Moxy is perfectly fine. I would advise any visitors to the Moxy to look up the property and read the details closely. Yes the rooms are small, yes there is only one iron on the entire floor and yes there are no closets...but the best part is it all works and my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The Moxy is clean and perfectly decorated if you ask me...the Moxy has a theme and the theme works for me....it's a hipster vibe, not probably the best for kids but perfect for adults on the move and exploring in DC. The checkin counter is at the bar and you also receive a free drink token upon arrival. I found parking non the street and parking is free in DC on Sunday so if you stay only one night...the street parking works. I took a few pictures but overall the Moxy is cool with me. The customer service was great as well, for the parts I remember, we were greeted and entertained at the bar... read more

The rooms are cute, but there is no warm comforter. It's only thin sheets and a prison blanket, so bring some leggings or something warm to sleep in. The breakfast isn't great either--way overpriced for old grocery store food. I recommend walking two blocks to Paul if you want something decent, yet quick. I think this hotel would be perfect for a 16-year-old who loves to say "I Woke Up Like This" b/c that is what is written on the bathroom mirrors. Unique spot though and neat library area. read more

I stayed here with my wife for a night out downtown because I have never stayed in a Moxy property and this was a new location. We stayed around the time of their grand opening so naturally, everything was brand new and clean. The environment was definitely trendy which is on brand for the Moxy. I got a W property vibe but less luxury/upscale and more millenial which I believe also to be on brand. My wife and I ate at the bar after check-in and the staff was very nice. When we checked in, the front desk (which is actually a bartender at the bar which is cool) recognized my Platinum status and "upgraded" us. My understanding is that the rooms at The Moxy are smaller by design but for an upgrade, this room was extremely, extremely small. It was very nice and new, just very small. Not necessarily a bad thing since apparently all of the rooms are small, it was just very tight. I dont know that I'd stay at this specific property again because I typically stay at larger full service brands (JW, W, Renaissance, flagships Marriotts, etc.) but I enjoyed the concept and would stay at a Moxy in another city. read more

I felt welcomed walking into the Moxy. My girlfriend is based in DC and felt the service and environment of the hotel created a fun space and she wants to make the bar her new hangout. As for our stay the room was very cute, we were prepared for less space and believe thought was put into the room's structure and appearance which was highly appreciated. I have two minor complaints, the beds were not comfortable and the price is a bit high for the space given. Otherwise the location was perfect to explore the city, I would recommend any single person or long term couple looking to see DC both during the day and night stay at the Moxy. read more

First time trying this new concept from Mariott. Very fun and funky. Rooms are small and minimalist but felt like something I would design instead of something decorated with my parents or grandparents in mind. The common spaces were great but the music at the bar got a bit too club like and loud as the night went on. Since the work space/library is open to the bar my only choice was to retreat to my room. Biggest downside- no coffee maker in the room. You can go downstairs but sometimes you just want a cup while watching the news in the morning. Not sure I would stay here if I was withh my wife (not enough room)and never with kids, but great for the solo travelers. read more

Yikes. We wanted so badly to love this hotel, with its terrific location and cool lobby but there was just so many things about it that were not quite right. Let's start with the good. As a jumping off point this was an excellent place to adventure from for a weekend in DC. It's right by the mall and museums and was perfect for our weekend goal of going to the cherry blossom festival. Also free drink at check in. Also it's a part of the Marriott Bonvoy family so you can earn and use points here. Now for the not so good. First of all- they slammed us with an unexpected cleaning fee despite an earlier phone call to confirm that the hotel was pet friendly and determine if there was a fee (we were told their was not). I don't mind paying a pet fee for our dog to join us on our travels, however an unexpected $100 fee for one night is completely unacceptable. We tried to speak with the desk about it and their response was to "take it up with Marriott" On top of that, the rooms are tiny and the bathrooms are truly bizarre. The in room bathroom was actually a part of the room itself and was only closed off by a partially opaque glass wall. Traveling with my husband and you could see and hear literally everything going on inside the bathroom- definitely not romantic! Also for a room that size at this price point you would think they could at least afford to provide some soap or body wash in the shower.... Also don't expect any kind of service from the desk. When we checked in half the outlets in our room didn't work and we tried calling down several times without any sort of response. We finally had to go all the way down and wait on line to get some help- though luckily they were able to fix the issue. read more

I would give a zero if I could!! We had a horrible experience at this hotel. While the vibe and lobby is fun, the experience was overwhelmingly unacceptable. Between the TINY room, yelling and talking in the alley next to the hotel at all hours of the night, clanking and renovations beginning at 4:00 am and ending late into the evening, horrible microwaved frozen food in the bar and nasty wait staff to the uncomfortable beds leaving us with a final passing gift of bed bugs! Would never recommend this hotel for a visit to such an amazing city! Incredibly disappointing! read more

This is a garbage hotel. They dropped my reservation and when I tried to check in they were rude. Took no ownership, lectured me on procedures and basically said there was nothing they can do for me because somehow I messed up. Worst customer service ever. It's been a long time since I have run into someone so nasty. Wouldn't stay at this hotel if it were the last place on earth. Shameful. read more

The Moxy is certainly a different hotel experience than the ones I'm used to, but it certainly has its own cheeky charm. This hotel chain is directed towards young adults. I would definitely NOT recommend that families book a stay. Positives: -Totally instagramable -Trendy decor -Has activities and a bar to pregame at -lots of small hangout spots Negatives: -small rooms -little privacy within the room (bathroom is separated by a translucent screen) Okay, so Moxy really is great for pictures. Lots of cool hipster pieces to take a picture with, and just scenic areas that just make everything stand out. You can totally have fun doing a little photoshoot here. In the lobby and upper Concord, there are several activities that you are free to play with (including giant jenga, foosball, and ping pong). The lobby also has a bar that is open for the majority of the night. You are also given a free drink token upon check in. For the actual accommodations, the rooms are smaller than your average hotel room, though it still pulls off a zen atmosphere. The bathroom is only separated by a translucent pane, so either be super comfortable with seeing a blur of a person you might be rooming with in the shower or on the toilet, or come alone. All the other amenities are pretty standard, albeit with a notable cheekiness. I'd recommend you come to the Moxy for maybe a day to take advantage of all the photo ops, start your night there for light drinks, and then go out on the town. read more

Kudos to the design team that created this hotel. Everything about it is a twist on a 'normal' hotel. You check in at the bar. They offer you drink and breakfast vouchers before you even realize you've been inconvenienced, the rooms are thoughtfully appointed and after a shock, quite functional. I would highly recommend, given you know what you're getting into ahead of time. I've been a Marriott employee at a Courtyard, Resort, and JW. This is not that hotel. This is a more efficient, energetic, and eclectic establishment. Enjoy! read more

This is a great hotel with everything you need if you are not worried about the size of room. It's clean, smells amazing, great staff and has a great vibe. The rooms are very small but didn't bother me too much. read more

It's a great location. Street parking wasn't too hard. The room has very contemporary decor- matte black bathroom fixtures and concrete walls/ceilings. There's an outdoor patio outside the gym. The room was tiny though.... Also has a sitting area for study and a bar downstairs. read more

This was an accidental find on my part tonight and it couldn't have been a happier accident. The cocktails were delightful, the seating options were varied and fun, and there were games! There was also a cool looking outdoor seating area that we will enjoy next time we come by. read more

Super small rooms!!! No closets for your clothing and no in room refrigerator. Hotel recording says they will direct you to the nearest parking ... sham!! read more

This hotel has been one of the most accommodating and fun places to stay. The rooms are phenomenal; clean, amazing views,practical layout, with the addition of the cutest little touches. What really amazed me was the hotel staff/manager that really brought an element that is exceptional, friendly, and professional. The entire ambience is trendy and visually appealing. I couldn't ask for a better home away from home experience. read more

Great experience here! Clean and great location. The front desk was nice, and they had a very cool front patio set up with a bar! Rooms very small but that was expected. read more

The exterior and interior of the hotel is stunning. During covid and a no dine in order in DC, this is a spot to stay and spot to hang out in during these times. I appreciate the complimentary coffee tea water & popcorn. Of course during this scamdemic, no breakfast, no rooftop bar during the stay which I was sad about to hear right at check in instead of when I'm reserving the room. But the actual stay inside hotel room was great, the shower is best way to start or end the day, the room with city view was a vibe. The desk clerks always attentive and responsive. When I needed more towels or ice, it was quick and easy. The outside patio has heated lamps & second floor lobby was great to enjoy with yourself or more people. They kept the deposit on room :( won't stay again unless they remove the holds. read more

The bartender Tom is a beast behind the bar. He asks what his client likes and can make the best drink. Always on point!

The decor was super cute , but for it to be a Saturday night it was empty besides 1 couple that was leaving as we arrived. I don't recommend coming here for drinks as they are watered down. My friends pinot grigio tasted like water. read more

NOPE! This place is ridiculous. It's like a bunch of old white marketing people in the Midwest got together and said: "Let's make a hotel for millennials. What would they be into?" "No floor space would be cool, so you can trip from the door straight into bed, and if you need something in the middle of the night no worries because your suitcase is also on the bed with you due to no space to put it." "Let's also throw a sticker on the mirror that says 'I woke up like this' so they can take all the selfies." "I know, let's not have a check-in desk but a bar instead so it will be like a mystery game as to how you get your room keys. And to make it super cool, let's make sure the bartender/front desk guy is constantly outside smoking instead of helping guests." "What about dining and room service? Actually, millennials don't need food. Just put out some Kind bars in the lobby and they'll be all set." "I know what would be dope! On the do not disturb door hanger, let's have a pic of a naked passed out drunk man that looks like a porn movie poster." Seriously people, this is one of the most absurd places I have ever stayed. Trying way too hard to create a "vibe" but the execution is horrible. I walked into the smallest hotel room I have ever seen. Also, I travel a lot and constantly get the worst views from my hotel rooms (like overlooking parking lots and dumpsters), so I paid extra for a "city view." I thought this might be a nice view of the skyline or some DC monuments, but what they mean by "city view" is that you directly face an office building across the street and have to keep your shades closed the entire time so the office workers don't see you shower or use the bathroom. Why even have windows? I think the Moxy concept has only been around for a short while and it's already not aged well. Marriott, go back to the drawing board on this one. read more

I had a wonderful stay at the Moxy! It's obviously a new hotel and they're still figuring things out, but the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout my stay. The atmosphere is very fun, young, and hip - very similar to a high-end hostel. Sometimes some of the decor was a little cheesy, but I would love to have their interior designer come redo my home - this place is modern and beautiful. The rooms aren't large, but they have all the space you would need. My one gripe was that there wasn't much counter space in the bathroom, but they have a rolling towel cart in the bathroom that I cleared the top off of and used for more counter space. There's no closets in the rooms but there are hangers and hooks on the walls and a pop-up for your suitcase, and there isn't an iron or steamer in the room but there are communal ones in the halls if you need them. The bed was very comfortable and I enjoyed the natural light from my many windows (there were also blackout shades though for those who don't enjoy the light like me). I'm already booking my next stay in DC at the Moxy - I can't wait to come back! read more

No laundry to clean my shirt for tomorrow. When you stay in a hotel and can't even do the basic things you do at home, find another hotel.

Stayed at the Moxy for three nights. As a bar, it's ideal due to its trendy decor, board games, and solid drinks. As a hotel (our reason for coming here), it is not worth the price point. The Moxy is basically a hostel. The rooms are BEYOND tiny. When you check in they warn you about this, yet I still gasped when I walked through my room door. I could've forgiven the size, but there were major issues with the room as well that warrants noting. There are no amenities. They offer you a combo soap/shampoo and conditioner. That's it. The walls are paper thin, making it so that you know exactly what your neighbors are doing -- from brushing their teeth to rolling up the curtain. The shower has a half door so all the water spills out, and if you're staying with someone, they can see you naked through the barely opaque glass wall. There is no ironing board (where would it even fit?), so you have to step out into the hallway to a communal one when you're obviously not dressed. The TV's chrome cast didn't work. No closet, no desk, no dresser. Not only could I not sleep at night because of the paper thin walls, but the bed itself is so uncomfortable. The thin blanket they give you is scratchy (think towel), and the pillows are so thin and uncomfortable. Housekeeping came only one night and they didn't do a great job (didn't take out/pick up the trash, bed not neatly made, etc), and they never showed up again for the rest of our stay. Staff, inattentive. Because the check in counter doubles as a bar, they are understaffed and you therefore have to wait around 10-15 minutes for any request. Additionally, some people working were so rude and would just stare us down when we walked in without greeting us and with a nasty look on their face. So awkward! If you love in the area and want a drink, I would justify coming here, but for $200+ per night, this hotel is not worth it. Stay at a nearby Kimpton instead. read more

My boyfriend and I were having date night and had seen Moxy bar several times before. We were excited to try it out for the first time last weekend! We walked in, sat at the bar and were highly disappointed. No one greeted us, nor asked if we needed assistance. We sat at the bar for about 10-15 minutes while all of the bartenders serviced other customers. A few bartenders even looked directly at us, and said nothing. After about 15 minutes, a busser asked us if we wanted a menu. We took a look at the menu, yet no one still greeted us (this is about 30 minutes into us sitting). At this point, we were no longer interested in dining here and were extremely disappointed in the service, as the ambiance was intriguing. Needless to say, we will not be returning. read more

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Moxy for 2 reasons. First and foremost, the location of this hotel is 2nd to none, you can walk to nearly all DC attractions quickly, catch public transit, or get a scooter/bike and get around easily. The check in process was quick and they give you 2 free drinks on the house. The room is small, but you should be aware of the fact that moxy is a modern minimalist hotel experience and the pricing reflects that. The room we had was clean. We had a queen bed that overlooked K street, but the bed is nearly against the wall so if mobility is a concern for you, this hotel will not deliver. We took advantage of the free popcorn, gummy bears, and coffee. The bed was comfy and the TV was large and close to the bed. The only downside is that the TV service was spotty so I watched nearly all of Adam Sandler's The Waterboy, and then the TV went out and I missed the end. The bar has a $5 shot wheel, and honestly the shots they give are a great deal, especially considering that you're in DC. Overall I would say the BEST part of the hotel is the shower. Great water pressure, nice and hot, and has the rain shower head and a wand. I would stay again. read more

This hotel is definitely geared toward millennials/young professionals, and that is not say that is a bad thing but it most certainly is geared toward that demographic. This review is two fold, as you have the room at the hotel but also their lobby/bar area. My wife and I checked in, instantly you feel that "hip" kind of vibe they are striving for, all kinds of couches, chairs set up with tables for laptops for business professionals set along side a large sliding glass door that is pulled up on beautiful days. You will be slightly confused at check in, you check in at the bar! Benefit of this is you get a free drink in the form of a chip you use at time of your choosing. The staff is phenomenal I mean some of the best I've experienced in our travels. The room, however, is the smallest I've ever come across, literally can hardly fit a suitcase and carry on in the room. If you are traveling with someone this can be an issue. Far side of the bed you need to side step around the bed, as well as your bags, and most likely your companion. Frankly, one traveler will be squeezed. The bed itself takes about a 1/3 of the room (room 150 sq feet). The bathroom is nice, small, with several amenities. Odd thing with bathroom? It's all glass, it is "iced" covered, but you can make out the person showering or using the bathroom, that can be uncomfortable. The bed was someone stiff, not that comfortable to me. The lobby bar is definitely an attraction point here and hits on most cylinders. The lobby design is perfect for after work drinks and happy hour has some great specials from 4-7. Again, the staff is phenomenal, especially sydnie! If you get her as your bartender you're in great hands!

Great spot that's not necessarily well known, but definitely a spot that everyone should go to to check out at least. Great atmosphere and in a great location. Lots of different quirks and options at the lounge/bar area and the vibe has been both young and old and also business or leisure. Should go visit! read more

I had a great stay during pride weekend. Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. I will be staying here again. I am not sure about the bad reviews. I did my research and knew what to expect. I brought my own toiletries, sleep mask, and headphones just in case it got loud outside at night. (It didn't, and I had a good night sleep) can't wait to stay here again and the location made everything so accessible which is what I needed! read more

Some friends and I had been eyeing this new spot for a while to try and find a time to visit. We finally did. Wow, what a nightmare. The drinks were fine. Nothing special, not a particularly good value, but a pretty decent location and cool space. We paid our bills and left to find somewhere a little more our vibe, but come to find I wasn't charged $15, but $50! Surely this was a mistake. So I called (I was at this point miles away) and spoke to a woman named Dani (Danny? Dannie? Don't know, don't care). She's part of the front desk staff. Would NOT help me or connect me to the bar. Now I know how simple it is to clear something like this up, having worked at a hotel, but not only did Dani refuse to help, she insisted that I had to come in to verify who I was (all they need to do is compare the amount charged to the amount of the receipt and cancel the charge if it's incorrect). I'm not going to be inconvenienced by their mistake. Dani sticks by her guns. So I bend and go in. Dani is not only VERY surprised to see me, but she refuses to go and find any receipt to verify the amount and instead said I had to come back another time when they are less busy. Now, take for a second that a business had wrongfully charged your nearly 3 times what you owe, and instead of even trying to help you, gives the the runaround not once (insisting it cannot be done on the phone and I must come in), but twice (once I come in, will not help me). All in all, I feel like I can't trust their staff to NOT steal money from me, which is a terrible look for a new hotel. I hope they get some sense and let go of the staff who is clearly extorting customers; you can't afford to have dishonest hotel staff, Marriot. read more

Bar was understaffed. Waited 15 minutes just to order a drink. Eventually ordered and was told I'd have to wait at the bar to pick up my food. Another several minutes. The place is ok if you don't mind waiting around for your food/drink instead of sitting with your friends. read more

This place is probably great as a bar, but is awful as a hotel. Especially if you're here for a business trip, I'd suggest you go elsewhere. The noise will prevent you from getting a good night's rest and the bare-bones amenities are unprofessional. For example - the shampoo and conditioner are pink and berry scented. Any type of hotel status also won't help you here - even the nicest rooms are no comparison to the real hotels. read more

Moxy staff was friendly, the vibe of the hotel and bar was upbeat, young feel and a nice scene in the lobby with drinks, games, lively atmosphere. I came to stay at the hotel for work and my wife and newborn joined me. The rooms are small but a good value/price for what you pay. Given it has a bit of a club feel, I was pleased to see the rooms were still quiet and had no noise issues. I got free waters and some drinks and good happy hour specials. They open the "garage door windows" when the weather is nice so it feels quite welcoming. First experience at a Moxy and look forward to getting drinks at the one in NYC. I do emphasize rooms are small, a good spot for young people to crash, meet up in the lobby or have fun. Supposedly a rooftop opening soon too! read more

I really enjoyed this hotel! The minimalist decor was super cute and frankly made a lot of sense, they cut out a lot of stuff that I suspect most people don't really use/want anyway (does anyone really NEED throw pillows with mystery stains on their bed?). The room was extremely clean and I am going to choose to believe that mine was the only room that didn't have hot water. They do not have a lot of hotel toiletries (again this is a minimalist hotel) which is smart and better for the environment---but they did have makeup removal towels which were excellent. One of the amenities they do have in the room was a massive TV that has options for you to log into your own netflix or watch complimentary HBO/showtime which was great. A lot of the stuff they have in the room is hung up on pegs on the wall and it worked perfectly for letting my sweaty clothes dry that I had after walking through DC. I enjoyed the complimentary cocktail I got at check in, it was good and they didn't over do the alcohol, which I appreciated. The morning of checkout, I was able to check the status of the metro on the big transpo screen they had in the lobby and get some decent free coffee. I was also given a bagged breakfast to take with me on the train as I was in a hurry. If I ever go to another event in the area, I would def consider staying here again. read more

The Moxy was recommended by my travel agent during my stay in DC. Very disappointed! A new hotel with a great initial vibe. That changed when I checked in. The rooms are quite small, no closets, no dresser or desk. You needed to use a communal iron station located on the floor to iron or press your cloths. Not for me but maybe you'll enjoy it. The price seemed high for what you got. read more

Do not stay here if you are over age 35. Or If you want elbow room or privacy. Rooms are TINY. And bathroom is a glass enclosed area within the room. Check in is at the bar so be prepared for the to prioritize making drinks instead of checking you in. That said. Great location and friendly staff. read more
