My wife and I absolutely loved our stay at the Moxy Houston Downtown. First, the service was phenomenal. The staff were extremely friendly as soon as we checked in. They answered all of our questions regarding parking and provided recommendations of places to go. Secondly, the location was perfect. It's in the heart of downtown Houston. You can walk to bars, stores, restaurants, parks, and trains. You basically do not need to drive or use ride share once you arrive. The rooms were clean and we had a great view of downtown. There is even a bar on the ground floor, which is convenient if you want to grab a drink within the hotel. The first floor also has TVs, a mechanical bull and a gift shop if it interests you. Overall, an amazing experience and we will definitely return here for our next trip to Houston.

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

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!

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!

Bathroom

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

All of the staff we encountered at Hotel Zaza were very friendly and welcoming during our two night stay. We especially appreciated the free coffee and tea service offered on each floor of the hotel every morning. This was a nice touch to start the day off strong. The room itself was on the small side and felt like the design and decor might have been little cooler / edgier a decade or so ago. Something about the young girl half nude photography didn't do it for me... We didn't get to experience this firsthand but they offer an on site spa, outdoor pool, and restaurant and bar. The restaurant prices looked a little $$ so we held off. Overall, a positive experience.

Not once did we feel uneasy (and we live in the Houston area - did a staycation for my husband's birthday). A few years ago, it would be a different story. There are a few homeless in the general area, but they aren't disruptive. We stayed in room 705, complete with a city view. It was quiet and lovely. I wish the rooms had a full-size fridge and cooking area, but for downtown, the suites are just as big as a studio apartment. There's space-themed decor throughout the hotel. I found the valet pricing to be a bit steep, and unfortunately, I have reason to believe two pairs of sunglasses were stolen from my vehicle. (I realize they should have been put in my purse immediately after use, but it slipped my mind, and out of habit, I put them in the console.) Regardless, it's frustrating. It also took 10-15 minutes for valet to pull our car around, so that's something to keep in mind. The evening reception was nice, especially with the two drinks/person/night. We had chips and queso, though they had a few other offerings. Make sure you get the card at the front desk. The front desk staff will also try to sell you on destinations for a cheap rate. I'm not sure when this became a thing, but instead of telling us about the evening reception and breakfast, they tried selling us on a stay in Chicago. I really just wanted to go to our room since I did everything on the app. We also found the breakfast to be worth every penny to stay in this hotel. I can't have gluten, and there isn't any GF bread. I had eggs, potatoes, grits, and coffee. There were cereal, fruit, yogurt, and waffle-making options as well. I appreciated the coffee bar having various syrups. The hotel was extremely accessible for those with disabilities/handicaps. We saw several people in wheelchairs or with assistance. Hearsay on the Green is inside the hotel, and the food is priced well for what you get (and it's excellent). If you DoorDash, the Dasher has to leave your food/items at the front desk. They are not permitted to go up to guest rooms. The rooftop pool and hot tub offer views of the city and Toyota Center (excellent people watching). Overall, I'd stay again (but I'd ensure I brought my cheap sunglasses and not my Maui Jims).

My favorite amenity that draws me to the Marriott Marquis is the Texas-shaped lazy river, their pool and jacuzzi. Near the pool, there are endless pool chairs and cabanas (available to rent) for people to choose from which is helpful. There is a bar and restaurant available near the pool and sometimes there is live music playing which are great perks as well. Other amenities are their fitness center and the spa which are also on the same level as the pool (level 6) so everything is close range to each other. Whether you are looking for a venue to host a conference or a luxurious place for a vacation (or even staycation), I highly recommend this hotel.

There was a lot of open space in addition to the king bed and the living room area. Even though it was February, it was actually quite warm and humid inside the room. We had recently experienced temperatures in the teens in Dallas, so being in a room with the temperature in the mid 70s, seemed unbearably hot. We had to find the A/C and turn the temperature down a few degrees. The hotel is located near the arts district where we were planning to spend our Saturday. The earliest we could checkin was 3pm, so we spent our day visiting the city and just left our luggage in the car. Checkin was super easy since we already had a reservation. Parking was included. The property has a fence around it, so the parking felt relatively secure. It was also well lit. The spots in the front were mostly taken, but you could drive around to the back of the building and easily find a space. The hotel has an elevator, but it is very slow. We used the stairs quite a bit, but found the elevator useful for carrying our bags upstairs. The view was limited and not very appealing, but the building only has about three floors. Amenities like a pool, gym, and laundry facility were also available at no added charge. The Wifi name and password were printed on the room key to make it easy to connect. Breakfast was included. The breakfast area had several tables. the meal is buffet style. They do have hot items like scrambled eggs, sausage, and breakfast tacos. You can make a waffle or toast bread or a bagel. Cold items like juice, yogurt, cereal are also an option. Two staff members were there making sure food was readily available and that things were kept clean. There were a few items that bothered me about this particular hotel. One, there was no TV reception in my room. I couldn't believe there weren't any channels, not even local channels! I was also annoyed that the bathroom sink was not draining properly. My husband had to play with it to get it to drain at all, and even then, it took a very long time for the water in the sink to empty after washing my hands or brushing my teeth. Lastly, the light switch at the entrance of the room only controlled the lighting in the entryway. I had to go around and turn on individual lights to feel like it wasn't so dark. These were minor inconveniences, but for the price, I would have expected these not to be an issue at all. The staff at the front desk were very pleasant and went out of their way to help me. On the day of our departure, my husband wasn't feeling well. They provided me with some bottled water as well as a Sprite to help his stomach. I was so touched by this offer. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. We both got a good night's sleep.

I would say the decor is very old fashion lounge with there being a mix of table with chairs or chairs paired with a couch. Our server seemed very nice but a bit new as she could not tell me if one of the teas was decaf right away. Also, I made a note that I could not have tuna but they took this as I could not have fish so they gave me two chicken salad sandwiches instead of the salmon even though I had stated on the phone salmon was fine. She also could not describe one of the desserts but overall she was very pleasant. The amuse bouche was - interesting ( a strawberry with cream cheese) I didn't hate or love it. I didn't think the cream cheese added anything tbh. We had one dessert on the table waiting for us before we said down - a English parfait that had a white chocolate mouse, cake, and fruit. I loved it although it was a bit strange to have dessert already sitting at your table before you got your sandwiches but I am a dessert first girl so didn't matter to me other than it was constantly calling my name. You don't get to choose your tea and the two tea options are both black which is a lot of caffeine. The sandwiches themselves come across as unassuming but they are great and very filling. Each one has a different bread which was cool. Although not a fan of cucumber, the bread was milky and so soft. All the sandwiches were fantastic. Honestly, I was so full from the tea and sandwiches, I took the desserts home. One big misstep in service was the server forgetting to serve the second tea. I had to ask for it and by the time we got it, we were tea'ed out. You are gifted a box of macarons at the end - we almost left ours but our server ran and got us in time. I definitely had a great time, there were small incidents that stopped it from being 5 stars.

From the moment we arrived until the second we left, we were treated like royalty. The heart of this hotel is truly its staff--by the end of our trip, we felt like we had made genuine friendships and truly became part of the hotel family. The flawless service started at the door with Sam, who welcomed us with the most cheerful and polite attitude. At the front desk, Kevin made absolute magic happen. He quickly coordinated with housekeeping to get us into a room for a very early check-in, and he was incredibly personable and fun to visit with. Kevin also rushed to our aid with a first-aid kit when my son had a little fall, showing just how deeply they care about their guests. The incredible service extended everywhere. The bartenders are masters of their craft--extremely knowledgeable and brilliant at making you feel special the second you sit at the bar. We even crossed paths with the owner in the elevator; he went completely out of his way to welcome us and ensure our stay was pleasant. He is such a warm, thoughtful gentleman, and his hospitality clearly sets the standard for the entire hotel. Late one night, the hotel manager performed another absolute miracle--since the rooms feature a sleek, drawer-style fridge, she found a separate place to securely store our three bulky takeout bags from dinner. Housekeeping was equally attentive, keeping our room immaculate, cozy, and flawlessly stocked with complimentary snacks and drinks. Beyond the unparalleled service, the location is beyond perfect for exploring downtown Houston, with tons of restaurants and theaters within walking distance. Parking is a breeze with their back lot and two neighboring garages.
