    We chose the Moxy because of how convenient it was to the stadium, and it really has a fun, catchy vibe. Check-in went smoothly, and the room was clean with plenty of amenities. Plus, you get two free drinks at their bar, and there's shuffleboard and ping-pong to enjoy. I personally didn't find the bed as comfortable as my husband did, but that's just a matter of personal preference. All in all, we had a great experience and felt it was a good value for the price.

    This place is really interesting, not the typical hotel. Very retro and the person checking us in at the hotel (Promise) was so helpful and polite! My daughter and I totally enjoyed our stay! They have a cute taco bistro and the food was decent, so as the price. Only a short walk to the university and co op and other food places.

    This location is located in the UT college district, north of downtown, with lots of students around the neighborhood and a few places to eat at nearby. The lobby is cool looking with a few places to relax in, as well as a large outdoor patio. Theres a couple of classic sit down video game machines (Pac-Man/Galaga) to play on. Upon check-in we didn't feel that welcomed and the front desk does not have a happy feel, like at other Moxy locations I've stayed at. I felt like a number instead of a valued customer. Further, being a Bonvoy Titanium member, I expected much better service. There's no morning breakfast buffet, only a Taco place that's attached to the lobby to order at using a terminal screen. Being a Titanium member, we had a credit for breakfast, but we had no guidance on how to use it at the taco place that made breakfast tacos and breakfast quesadillas. The Moxy front desk woman with the black hat and black mask (I could hardly make out any of her spoken words) made me feel like I was bothering her when I asked how to use our breakfast credit. Without saying much, after she investigated our account, she walked over to the taco desk and coldly asked what we wanted. She didn't even apologize for the hassle, or that she was unaware of their exact breakfast offerings, even though they were listed on a sign above. She took our order and said nothing else other than giving us an order number. Wow, what an uncomfortable encounter. If I was her manager, I would fire her on the spot for treating guests so poorly. The Moxy female bartender we encountered was decent and made us a couple of drinks, although with 80% ice. The room we staying in was clean with a separate toilet room from the shower. Oddly, the shower had no air vent, steam just went throughout the room. The TV was large, in front of the bed, but the TV interface was very slow to react to remote control commands. The A/C was quiet and efficient. The bed was uncomfortable; it felt very hard and lumpy. Given the poor front desk experience and lumpy bed, I wouldn't rush to stay here again. They really need to do a better job with certain front desk staff welcoming guests, being much more friendly, and pleasantly answering any questions or concerns.

    Food is amazing here. Jennifer at the bar did an amazing job taking care of us for a small birthday get together. Didn't realize this is a hotel, it was interesting to see they have regulars as well as random people walking around playing games in their game room.

    Courtyard

    If you're looking for a fun and cozy spot in Austin, Moxy University is where it's at! While I can only speak for the lobby and courtyard areas, they're absolutely worth checking out. The courtyard is especially nice--perfect for hanging out, especially during their summer movie nights. It's a super cute space with a great vibe. The staff has always made an effort to make sure I'm comfortable and having a good time.

    Backyard Vibes of the Moxy

    I love the vibe of this property so much. It was my first time in Austin / ATX and I think this hotel represents a lot of the area around it, the vibe and the energy of the people surrounding it. YOU CHECK-IN at the BAR! Hello!? Afterwhich, you are offered a special drink you claim right after. And then--- there's a 24-hr access to TACOS, called Zombie Tacos. Need I say more? I am in love with this brand of Marriott Hotels, it's young and fresh and for the fun-traveller & backpacker. They have a fridge in the room, but no microwave--however, they provide one for the guests in the cute common area by the bar/registration. The whole lobby is like a nice place to hang out, in the back patio there's space to chill and play jenga, several swings, fire pits, etc. Altogehter, if you decide to go, its within walking distance to everywhere in the middle of the university belt---so expect a lot of college kids. The location is pretty much close to dirty 6th, you also have access to self-parking garage (with a daily fee for in and out privilege).

    Stopped by for a drink and a bite since the bar looked like it had a good vibe. Amazing cocktails and food! Shout out to Andrew and Jen who were working that night. Jen is one of the bubbliest and friendliest bartenders I've ever met. Thank you for making the night so special!

First the location was ideal, right on South Congress and the best part is that the parking is free! I was a little concerned about noise coming from the clubs that are literally steps away, but it was not an issue the weekend I was there. Second, the property is more like an Airbnb in that there's no front desk. You get the access code via email prior to your arrival. However, that is not to say that there's no staff. I had some questions and was easily able to talk/text to someone immediately. We were in the Orange room which was comfortable and well-designed for two people. Plenty of storage space in the main room and in the bathroom. I always get nervous when I see the wall mounted AC unit, but this one worked great! Our room was nice and cold and the unit was very quiet. My only negative point of our entire stay is that the water pressure in the bathroom is a bit weak and the hot water from the sink tap takes a very long time to warm up. We enjoyed the common room with the Jura coffee maker. There is also filtered water and other beverages available at no charge. I'd like to add that the staff is incredibly friendly and kind. I look forward to staying here again soon!

We also dined at Nido, the hotel's restaurant, for both dinner and breakfast, and it was definitely a highlight. Located on the topmost floor, Nido offers stunning views of the river and downtown Austin. With both indoor and outdoor seating, the ambiance is elegant and ideal for a special evening. During our visit, we saw a couple of groups celebrating birthdays and wedding anniversaries, which shows how perfect this place is for special occasions. The pricing is on the higher side, but it matches the upscale experience and beautiful setting. For dinner, we ordered the Burrata as an appetizer and the Autumn Garden for the main course, along with an American IPA and a Jack Frost cocktail. Everything was delicious, but the Burrata truly stood out as my favorite. Breakfast was equally enjoyable--we had custom-made omelettes with veggies and avocado toast, both fresh and flavorful. Overall, The Loren Hotel, along with Nido, offers a great blend of comfort, excellent food, and a beautiful atmosphere. A perfect choice if you're looking to celebrate something special or simply treat yourself to a high-end experience.

The Friday night gathering was amazing. It was a perfect setting on the eight floor to talk, mingle, and meet new people. The evening was warm enough to go outside on the balcony/deck and have conversations and enjoy a breeze. The room itself is large with a water station and a bar. A few short tables were set up for sitting and a few tall ones for standing. They had a nice selection of drinks from beer and wine to mixed drinks. The food included lobster rolls, sliders (chicken and beef), a tray of different veggies and dips, little balls of cheese and something, and aroncini? My favorite was canapés of Mellon and prosciutto. The saltiness of the prosciutto added to the flavor of the melon. This event was 5***** I blame the architect for the room setup. Why would you put bedrooms on the side of a hotel next to traffic. The noise, honking and sirens. It finally quieted down around 11:30. Saturday was also an issue. They do provide ear plugs and sound machines, neither works for me. I was also surprised there was no lotion in the room. There was no microwave. Everything else in the room was top notch. Robes, slippers, a safe, a bar, and fridge. Overall, the noise is what created the 3*** rating. That was very disappointing.

Marriott pet peeve - the TV menu describes how to connect your device to HDMI2 and use the TV as a display. Then the hotel installs the TV hard against the wall so there's actually no way to get to HDMI2, or any inputs. I'd usually knock off a star for this failure, but the hotel has both Netflix and Prime, so there's enough to watch to get by, and you're out exploring Austin most of the time anyway. If there's a negative here it's the convention crowds. When there's no convention in process the lobby space is excellent. Convention starts and it's a sea of rowdy drinking conventioneers.
