Stayed at the Moxy Uptown for a few nights and only because it was one of the only places in our price range. I've never stayed in a Moxy before. First impressions, this place is targeted towards people my son's age, or people who just want to feel that age. Decor is very loud and very cool, the lobby/lounge is filled with games and another corner has a lot of records, so it gave a music studio vibe. When you walk in, you are directed to check in at the bar. When we checked in, we received a poker chip per person for a complimentary drink. There is a daily happy hour, and various going ons each day. One of the evenings was karaoke night. I like the staff, they are all helpful and nice. I haven't stayed in a hostel since my backpacking days in Europe in my 20's and being here felt very much like staying in an upscale hostel or college dorm. Our room reminded me of an IKEA showroom. It was so tiny and had bunk beds. First time I've stayed in a hotel and slept in a bunk bed. Furniture was functional art. When you needed a table or chair, you took it off the peg from the wall - the same pegs you hang your clothes on since there's no closet. There is no storage, same with the restroom, it's very minimalist, so not many places to put your stuff. Room decor also included a guitar, amp, and a rotary phone that is non functioning. How do you call the lobby to report the people screaming in the hallway at 3:30 am who then ran downstairs to continue their partying on the ground level? I had to google the hotel phone number on my cell phone to reach the lobby. They are also a pet friendly hotel, so I got to hear a dog barking non stop down the hall for a while. Because there's no fridge in the room, I had to use the shared fridge down in the lobby to store my leftovers. Next to the shared fridge is complimentary coffee, tea, and hot cocoa, and a bunch of snack stuff for purchase. If you need to iron your clothes, bring them down the hall to the shared ironing board with a huge picture of a shirtless tattooed guy on the wall. Actually, that's not a bad thing....eye candy while you iron... The beds are actually quite comfortable, but the ceiling light in our room wasn't functioning, and one of the light fixtures fell off the wall when we tried to turn it on. Yikes. I didn't have a car on this trip so I didn't need parking, but if I did, I didn't see a parking lot at this hotel. There's a good number of restaurants within walking distance, and a market and a CVS just a couple short blocks away. The Moxy brand is not for everyone, but if you like staying in a dorm/hostel style of accommodations, you will enjoy it.

Having a great time at the Moxi after the game
Cherie C.

The Moxi is a great place for a fun short trip. We arrived for a football game upon arrive we each received 2 free drink coins. The staff was so relaxed and provided us with a book of all the surrounding restaurants and then gave suggestions. Our room was so interesting, I played with everything . I won't post this pic. I will let you be surprised, but trust me, the room followed the theme of the hotel. Right outside the elevator there was a hammock in the corner. Of course I had to try it out!!! Bu the cherry on the top was returning to the hotel to full our karaoke in the lobby. We didn't go to sleep until late party with the other guest and staff. We had a great time thank you the staff for an outstanding job!

This is a cute "modern" hotel. It has a lot of character. The staff was extremely friendly. The lobby bar was great. Each guest receives a free drink ticket. The gym is downstairs. It's small, but it had what we needed. Let's address the elephant in the room now. The rooms are small. I mean so small that they have pegs on the wall to hang your stuff instead of an actual closet or wardrobe. The rooms also lack the usual amenities like irons(they have a steamer), ironing board, water bottles, or ice buckets. I didn't even see an ice machine, but I could have just missed it. Parking us basically a paid lot across the street. Not the best. Overall, we enjoyed our stay well enough. If the price is right, we would come back. I just feel they put style over substance here.

I stay here every visit to MN, which is about 2x/ month. staff is great!! really appreciate Maggie bartending & Maya at the front desk, they make my stay feel more like home with friends! Justine is always a welcome face at the front desk as well! love it!!

Moxy is the "cool" Marriott, as imagined by a millennial who grew up in the suburbs and had a Gen X creative director running the project. Every room has a guitar and an amp. I'm not sure why. Rooms are tiny, but comfortable enough, with a Thoroughly Modern Bathroom with subway tile. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were a bit too smooshy for my taste (forgivable since I slept great). There are fun accents like ambient lighting underneath the bed that is motion activated so you don't bump into things in the middle of the night. Staff were great and there was even passable free coffee in the mornings. You are 25m from downtown via a few different bus routes or you can take the Lake Street bus to or from the light rail to the airport.

I was happy with this hotel. They were friendly, and I think the free drink ticket when you get in is a nice perk. Definitely more of a millennial / trendy vibe. Cost wasn't too bad, and I liked that I wasn't downtown right next to the conference I was attending, it gave me an escape which was really nice. The steamer in-room is also a nice touch. It did feel a bit small / cramped and I wish it had a real closet to hang stuff in, but those are minor gripes. Check it out !

What I'm about to say may sound like an insult, but it is absolutely not: This is a hip, locally-focused Millennial hotel at an amazing price. This is the EXACT type of hotel I want to stay in while traveling, on the rare occasions that I get a hotel instead camping on BLM land for free. Or, as a way to treat myself after sleeping on the ground for a week! This isn't a place most families or older couples would enjoy because: the rooms are small and it can be noisy. Check-in was a breeze and came with 2 free drink tokens, in the form of guitar picks. The drinks you could redeem these for weren't throwaway swill, they were all local brews and house-made cocktails. All of the art here was local, and much of it BLM(different BLM than the one I reference above)-focused, AWESOME! This would be at the top of my list, were I ever in Minneapolis again. We were impressed!

The inside of a Moxy has been updated with a cultural and local feel. I'm happy they've done this to embrace all the change that Uptown has gone through. I've been here on a few dj nights and you can get out and dance! The times I've been here it hasn't been overly busy, but that means better service at the bar for you?? They get a melting pot of people in here and it's a good time.

Guitar and crappy Ikea like chair in room.
Lyn H.

This hotel is all about location location location. Not friendly for longer stays. Small room, no coffee in room, hooks not hangers, NO FREE PARKING, ice machine ???. Guitar in the room - can't image how much that ' incidental ' will cost. Maybe I am just old and don't care / understand the decor. The staff was outstanding. Drinks were expensive - but this is expected due to the area and Marriott hotel brand.

Best lobby I've been in this year!
Cesar R.

The Moxy brand of hotels is quickly becoming one of my favorite brands to stay with as I travel for work. The newly opened Moxy in Uptown Minneapolis is great! Friendly staff that greet you with a complimentary signature cocktail as you check-in. The lobby is young, hip and so well designed! Same goes for the rooms! Plus it is locales just seconds away from great restaurants and bars. Definitely staying there every time I am in Minneapolis!

We came to the moxy bar for a free Valentine's Day event and it was super fun! A lot smaller than I expected but we got free drinks, snacks, and professional photos so I'm happy :)

Nifty small space living
Kimberly B.

Really enjoyed the vibe of the Moxy. The rooms are small as expected with this style hotel (it is all about location). I was inspired how they incorporated cool small space living ideas. Our bed floor frame even lights up if you set foot in the dark for a night bathroom run. Loved the white subway tile bathroom and decor (retro phone and guitar) in the room too. The pillows and bed were very comfortable! I was obsessed cuddling the pillows. I want to know who makes them. The main floor and bar super swanky place to chill with a cocktail. Moxy hotels never disappoint. Full of surprise and delight exploration.

Live DJ by the bar
Kara D.

I've been to the Moxy a handful of times, mostly for the non-hotel-y things... like cocktails and dancing. Surprise - this hotel is a fun "girls night out" destination! The bar here is solid and is attached to a trendy lounge with collages of Kate Moss and Jimi Hendrix's faces in them. I love how in the summer, they open up the bar so you can belly up right from the sidewalk. The bartenders have been great with each visit too! Moxy hosts a lot of events like themed music/dance nights and special DJs. I've come here expecting to grab a few drinks with my girlfriends, but ended up dancing my ass off for hours. S/O to DJ Nak & Neekasodope for orchestrating my monthly workout! I've also stayed at the hotel overnight (I won a giveaway!) and the hotel rooms were photo-ready. Tall ceilings, clean design, a guitar and amp... pretty sweet. Mine needed a little bathroom clean, though. And the breakfast flatbread I bought the next morn had a superrrr undercooked egg on it. Otherwise, I loved my stay!

Fun at the bar with new friends

See all

Ask the Community - Moxy Minneapolis Uptown

There are very few photos of the rooms. Do any of the rooms come with even a small desk where one can use a laptop?

Yes, there's a pull down desk from the wall, or you can take down a small round table off the pegs and unfold it to use.

The hotel features the renowned Anda Spa for massages, facials, and wellness treatments, a 24-hour fitness center with yoga classes, steam room, and convenient access to the downtown Skyway system for easy exploration of nearby attractions such as Orchestra Hall, Nicollet Mall, and U.S. Bank Stadium. It's pet-friendly, offers valet parking, meeting spaces, and high-end service in the heart of downtown.

When checking in, they asked us if we were here for a special occasion and upon learning that it was a girls night getaway, they provided us with BOGO app and drink coupons to the 2 restaurants onsite. They also suggested a few dishes to try. When we returned to our room after a show at the Orpheum, we found a bottle of bubbly with a handwritten note on the table!! It was such a kind gesture and so so thoughtful. I've never experienced something like that before - usually it's a birthday or anniversary where this type of stuff happens so we were thrilled the front desk would provide such a gift for friends simply getting together. We had dinner at Breva Bar (on the first floor) and loved the food. One tip - if the Minnesota Orchestra is having an event (close proximity), there will likely be a rush of diners beforehand and service can be tough/limited due to restaurant capacity. We experienced it first hand and had to wait a long time for food. But once the orchestra crowd cleared, it was prompt service. Another tip - do not skip the burrata & apple starter. It was so good we ordered it TWICE. Our room was on a high floor with views of downtown. The real star is though is the bed. I've stayed at Marriott properties before (Ivy is part of the Marriott family) but none of them compares to a Hotel Ivy bed. There's a reason this is a luxury hotel because this is a luxurious bed. Fun fact: Marriott actually sells these beds online and the prices are crazy expensive. There was complimentary coffee in the lobby the next morning. We enjoyed a simple but filling breakfast at the hotel bar before concluding our short 1 night but very memorable stay. So glad I got to experience Hotel Ivy, the beautiful ambiance, and stellar service. If I feel like spoiling myself again for another girls get together, I'm coming back here.

Not only is the food excellent but the staff is so friendly and accommodating. Don't miss out if stay here.

My wife and I stayed at this downtown Minneapolis hotel for our 3 night visit to the Twin Cities in…read moreMarch of 2026. We got to experience the huge swing in weather during our stay, using this hotel as a base to take public transport, rideshare, and private pickup/dropoff. The hotel ended up being a good choice. The Elliot is one of the more affordable choices currently in the Edit Collection of Hotels (only three in the Minneapolis area), curated by Chase Travel. We booked (and prepaid) our stay via the Chase Portal, instead of our typical MO of using the Marriott site directly. Positives (of doing it this way) were that we got a $100 stay credit, vouchers for full-service breakfast for two at the property restaurant (Tavola), late checkout, room upgrade, and loyalty credit. Negatives were that the rate is a bit higher than if directly booked (though the bi-annual $250 credit from the credit card more than made up for it), my loyalty status would have given me free breakfast, room upgrade, and late checkout anyway, and since loyalty points are based on how much you spend directly with the hotel, didn't get that many points for our stay (though you do get nights-stayed credit, in case that is important). The hotel opened in 2018 in its current association as a Marriott Autograph Collection member. Our room was ready for us for a 2 pm check-in, on the 4th floor (was told it was an 'upgrade') of an eight floor, 168 room hotel. The room was about 300 square feet in size and tastefully decorated, and had a couch (though not pull-out). The bed was very soft, towels were thick, and one bath robe was provided without asking. It had a modern, very large shower stall with barely-adequate shower pressure, large sink area, and a modern toilet that didn't always recharge after every flush without some manual jiggling. Sachajuan were the soap/shampoo brand used. A small fridge contained a mini-bar, but no microwave or place to sit down and eat. Two bottles of water were provided in the room at check-in. There was a modern flat screen tv with plenty of basic cable channels, and Google Chrome cast enabled, allowing mirroring from one's phone. Temperature controls worked well. Other property observations: - the hotel does seem well integrated with the Marriott ecosystem. I got timely texts, ability to see a lot of info on my Marriott app, - room service is provided via the downstairs restaurant. Morning coffee is available at the lobby. - the dedicated fitness center on the 3rd floor is large, with modern equipment. It is fully stocked, with clean towels (some stored in a small mini-fridge), disinfecting wipes, and bottled water. - there is a small shop, where the resort credit can be used. It carried unusual items (not typical hotel sundry items like soda or chips), and we ended up buying some sea salt flakes ($16) and some genuine swedish fish candy ($10) to completely use the resort credits. There were some problems getting the charges properly handled, but Feranda at the front desk patiently helped me resolve it during checkout. - one can decline housekeeping day by day, getting 1,000 points instead. We took advantage two times. - Normal checkout is 11am, extendable to 4 pm if qualifying. - During happy hour times (3 - 5), samples of two different draft (one beer, one root beer) are offered. - parking is via valet, $54 overnight. There is no mandatory resort fee. The hotel is located about 4 city blocks from the nearest light rail station, so getting to the airport is doable via train. And there is a nice curb manned by the valet where dropoffs/pickups can be safely done.
