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

We chose this hotel…read moreas we were attending the BBQ Cookoff at the Houston Rodeo - NRG location, and the Metro stop is right across the street. Service was impeccable during our one-night visit from check-in to checkout. There are snacks in the lobby and chilled Rose' wine is offered in the lobby in the late afternoon. Our standard room was excellent with a large shower and a bed that was beyond comfortable. We were overlooking the pool area, and it looked mighty inviting, maybe next time. We loved seeing all the old movie posters and unique décor in the lobby and conference rooms. Even the restrooms have themes! This is a high-end property, and it will put a dent in your CC, but we both felt it was well worth it.

While I understand mistakes happen, what was completely unacceptable was the way the situation was handled afterward. When I called the front desk for help, I was met with rudeness, attitude, and skepticism, as though I was making the situation up. The front desk manager was dismissive and unhelpful, despite the fact that I even offered to personally look through the dirty linens to find my clothing. Two days later, the hotel finally called to say they had found my shirt, only to then ask me to pay for the shipping label to have it returned. No apology. No accountability. No acknowledgment that I was left scrambling and forced to borrow clothes from others in order to attend my event because of their mistake. To make matters worse, the concierge kindly assured me that his manager, Daisy Lopez, would be reaching out to address the situation. Despite following up twice, I never heard another word from the hotel. The issue was never the mistake itself, accidents happen. The issue was the complete lack of professionalism, empathy, accountability, and customer care afterward. For a hotel that prides itself on luxury and reputation, this experience was an absolute disappointment.

This hotel had A LOT of pros (and only a few cons), but overall, we had a wonderful stay…read more For starters, it's walking distance to several downtown hotspots. 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).

I loved my room and the bar/restaurant was nice. Hotel Staff is excellent. Valet parking was fast.read more

And while the whole experience will hit your wallet, it is worth it. Let's face it, you're staying here because of either the convenience of the lovely restaurants connected to the hotel or because of the rooftop pool with the Texas-shaped lazy river. Fortunately, both of these factors live up to it's promise and glamour. The restaurant options are aplenty; all that connect to the hotel lobby. Prestigious options such as Xochi, Biggio's, and Walker Street Kitchen are all here. Xochi is the only one we visited during out time there and it's well worth the experience (see my review on that). The rooftop pool has several seating/lounge sections along with a full bar/restaurant at the front area. Additionally, there is a hot tub and a pool on the left side where you get a nice view of the Houston skyline and the Texas-shaped lazy river floats around all of these attractions. It's the main reason why you're coming to this hotel in the first place! Other amenities I liked is the very large fancy exercise room and the club area where they serve complimentary breakfast for platinum and titanium members. The breakfast has some delicious items including fresh pastries, charcuterie selections, and the scrambled cheese eggs. And there's a cappuccino machine included if you want something more fancy than coffee. All these things I've listed and I haven't gotten to our room! Well we had a clean king sized bedroom that directly overlooked the rooftop pool giving us a nice view of what we would be engaging in during the afternoon. The room also has a safe in the closet if you want to store any valuables. As I mentioned, it's gonna be pricey staying here with all the perks I listed. But would I do it again? HELL YEAH!

Basic information like parking ($20/night), amenities, and breakfast was not informed unless we asked. We were placed on the first floor, first room by the elevator, gym, and kitchen even though the hotel appeared half occupied at best. We could hear conversations by the elevator, and a strong bacon smell filled our room every morning, which was very unpleasant since I don't eat meat. The side door from the rear parking didn't work initially, forcing us to walk around the building in freezing weather. When reported, the same receptionist was dismissive, saying no one informed her. Despite the convenient location, this was quite an unpleasant stay and we will not return!

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. Paying 79 dollars for tea is a bit pricy so I would expect a bit more precision and maybe more choice in tea?
