Second floor patio
Jayme H.

My experience at this Moxy was ok. I've stayed at one in Chicago, which was great. And I also live a block away from one in Ohio. Needless to say I'm familiar with it, the size of rooms, etc. For the most part, its a fun quirky hotel, nothing fancy, but it has a vibe. Things started to go south from the moment I checked in. The lady that assisted me informed me that the only room they had available was up two flights of stairs and there's no elevator available so I would need to lug my heavy suitcase up there. I admittedly overpacked and having recently had surgery, I was in no position to carry 50 pounds up a bunch of stairs. When I said that I would need assistance with my suitcase, there was magically another room available. How convenient. When I got to that room and began to settle in, I quickly noticed an extremely loud humming sound coming from the cieling. I called down, they told me it would eventually stop, but after 10 minutes, I was over it. They then offered to put me in third room that was all of the sudden available, two doors down. When I was headed to the elevator to get my new key, I mentioned the sound to one of the staff members and they informed me that they've been reporting that issue for months. So here I am, I've been there less than 30 minutes, bounced around to now a third room, and it feels like they're just trying to give me the short end of the stick. It felt like I had a target on my back that said, let's give her all the shitty options, she won't complain. Aside from the crappy check-in experience, everything else went fine. The bed was comfy, I was able to connect to my Netflix on the TV, the wifi worked, and the bathroom was stocked with everything I needed. I'll end by sharing that the parking situation is a little weird. They don't have valet, but they do have parking for $40 a night across the street that's gated. The gentleman that look like they'd be valet out front, will meet you at the gate anytime you need your car. Kinda crazy for $40 a night. Anyhoo, I wouldn't stay here again, but if you read this, you know what you're getting yourself into. Safe travels!

Have booked overnight stays here a couple times when in town for meetings or events in the downtown area. I appreciate the easy check-in at the bar with a free coin for a drink of your choice. The modern, sheik and multi purpose integrated lobby gives a vibe of community. The colors, paintings and furniture is unique and inviting by today's standards but the rooms are extremely small. I've stayed in a fair amount of hotels, these rooms are very minimum which I understand is what the aim is but I prefer a larger space. A couple of parking options, location, price, 24 hour gym, patio floor and flair are what gets the 4 stars.

We loved staying here. I found a great deal on HotelTonight and the reviews had 93% we got free drink tickets for the bar and we were close to everything. The staff were helpful and the rooms were clean. I did not know about Moxy hotels until now but I would love to stay at another location. Special shoutout to the bartender Leilani! She gave us great service and recommended some cool spots to check out for our day in San Francisco. Thank you Leilani! All the spots had some amazing views We loved the artwork, decor and games. We played foosball, connect 4, and enjoyed their second floor rooftop patio. This was walking distance to coffee shops and food. I highly recommend this place. Great value and great quality I loved it. We were pleasantly surprised

Outside sitting patio area, nice place to relax
Alex L.

So reading ahead of time some of the reviews I had mixed feelings. But we needed somewhere close to the Paramount Theater and this is literally 5 minutes away walking. It was a Tuesday night, so we got the room with a king size bed for pretty cheap. Around $120 for the night. It is Oakland, so having a parking lot to park your car that is gated and locked is def a plus. I didn't have to worry about any break ins as I've read it's been an issue in the city. There is security at the entrance, they did a great job being present and even saw them kick someone out who wasn't a guest. Workers were nice, bartender at night was super friendly and made some amazing drinks. He even created something for my wife since she's a picky drinker, and she loved it. Food is very limited, but we had the pizza and I will say it was amazing for just a bar pizza. Luckily DoorDash and Instacart can bring you anything you need directly to the hotel. Ambience and decor is awesome, really makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. There's music playing, couches to sit in, tons of games to play. Just a nice place to relax. Rooms are a little small, but the shower was huge, and for one night not a big deal. The rooms are definitely furnished for their size, almost all the space has a purpose. Where I probably won't have a reason to go back, if you find yourself in Oakland definitely recommend.

Sitting area
Mike P.

This is a nice hotel. Great ambiance. Has a few nice sitting areas with a foos ball table. A stage to relax and chill. Has a nice bar inside. However the bar is only open Thursday evening through Saturday. So if you arrive a different day of the week no bar service. Rooms are nice Love the decor. No closets tho. But beds are comfortable. Big screen TVs and most rooms with a good view of the city. Has an outside balcony area on the second floor to sit out and relax as well. Parking is in a private lot across the street that security monitors and locks and only they can let you in and out so keeps your car safe. Just needed a drink after a meeting on a Wednesday. Lol. Enjoy

You are welcomed by the atomic smell and hip atmosphere of this chic Marriott Hotel. Recommed to valet your car or park in the patrolled lot catty corner. You get two free drink tickets upon check-in. Staff are friendly and hotel is clean. The rooms a small with minamist vibe. There is a rooftop area, gym, a few games and plenty of seating in the lobby. Views are not great as the area is not the best. I have stayed here several times when I attended concerts at the Paramount as it is walking distance (about two blocks). I have always had a good experience at the Moxy!

Angela L.

Stayed here for a few nights and loved it. The crew, interior design and rooms are all amazing. I would definitely stay here again and again. Also; they have parking right across the street that is safe and secure. I highly recommend the Moxy, in Oakland.

Signature Moxxy drink maybe called "feeling moxxy" I forget
Janell W.

This review is for the bar area only, not a hotel stay. The bar itself is not very big, however the bar area is big and has plenty of space and seating. There's unique art and a small room with seating where you can take pictures. There's a foosball table and a few table top games such as connect 4. The bartender Betty makes thee best drinks and even whipped me up a signature drink of her own creation. Both were outstanding. She seriously makes the best drinks I've ever had in my life. Unlike most cocktails that taste like alcohol and something, these drinks have layers of flavors that entice the pallet. I don't know how she does it. My cocktails were $14 a piece and well worth it. There's a cute little snack bar with free apples and goldfish crackers and other things you can purchase. There's also a small offering of local patisseries. Parking can be challenging though.

Brionna K.

Love the moxy hotel chain! Stayed here for one night while visiting family in the Bay Area. Due to the short stay I was not able to use their facilities! I loved how the check in is a bar such a cute concept. On check in they also gave a free drink ticket which I thought was pretty generous. Big plus for this hotel being dog friendly. They also have a parking lot that they monitor that's across the street. They charge an extra fee per night. Surrounding area not so great but hotel is super cute and modern!

This is hands down of the cutest and hippiest hotels I have stayed in a long time. While this easily should be a 5 star review I am deducting one star due to the shower not getting hot enough. Another thing which was a downer was the desk chair, it wasn't comfortable especially if you have a lot of computer work to do. Amenity and Restaurant/bar 5/5 Check in and valet parking a solid 5/5 Cleanliness of hotel and room 5/5

Molly R.

We booked this hotel because of location that's so close to the paramount theater. Really reasonably priced hotel with fun quirky atmosphere. Upon checking in they give you a free drink ticket for beer wine or a drink from their little market. Staff was great and offered recommendations for things near by. There was a DJ and games in the lobby which was really fun. Room is very small but comfortable. Each floor has a supply closet so you can help yourself to towels, toiletries, blankets etc. Our only issue was that even though we set the air to 65 degrees our room never got cooler than 77 degrees which made it very uncomfortable and hard to sleep. I'm hoping that was just our room. Despite this we will probably give this place a try again because of the reasonable price and friendly staff.

Mary N.

Check-in and out process was easy. I like that the check out time is at 12 pm, too. Staff were friendly and you get a complimentary drink for your stay. I was able to get an early check-in luckily! They have some nice working areas in the main lobby. Rooms were clean and nice. Bathroom was well lit and had nice interior as well. You get to grab any towels or other bedding's in their stash closet. I didn't get a chance to check out their gym but won't be opposed to checking into this hotel in the future!

Sept 2023 - lobby the town mayn!
Reno U.

Fun lobby area with bar. Have gone there for multiple lobby parties and always have a good time. Friendly valet and staff. I've never stayed here so this rating is based on the events in the lobby. Downside is the stress of your vehicle being broken into in downtown Oakland. Always valet and they'll park your vehicle in the parking garage across the street about a quarter mile down. If not, you take your chances. Thanks Moxy! 4 stars!

They actually had a room ready and let us check in one hour early. To keep this review brief, I decided to just give the pros and cons and add informative photos. Pros: comfy king bed, big closet, large safe, microwave, fridge, keurig, quiet room, open balcony, San Francisco Bay Trail below our balcony, large bath with separate shower, Exercise room with no free weights, Quench water machine, EV chargers, snack/drink machines, morning breakfast/coffee served (worth skipping). Cons: No USB ports in the room?! Hotel is fairly close to the sketchy side of town (homeless camp 200 ft from hotel). No cold bottled water for rewards members, no pool, no airport shuttle, carpeting instead of laminate flooring, paid parking, our thermostat was really glitchy and would not work. Added benefit: your hotel key gains you access to the Executive Inn and Suites next door. There you will find a small pool/hot tub. There's also a small bar that opens at 5pm (happy hour 5:30-7:30) and you can order food as well. A Monday night stay was $325 and they charge $17 a day to park in their lot next to Hwy 880, not in a garage. I thought the rate was fairly high considering it's not the closest hotel to the airport and it's in the sketchy part of town. Check out the photos.

The TVs were modern and all channels were there. The bathroom was spotless and housekeeping team were very friendly. Amenities: The gym on the first floor by the lobby was great. Medium sized with dumbbells for free weights, a multi-purpose cable pull machine and plenty of cardio options. All the equipment was new and the gym was clean. The morning breakfast in the lobby was great. The warm food options of eggs and sausage were my favorite along with oatmeal. Shout out to the fresh coffee and hot tea selection Location: This is where this property really shines. Located right off the freeway makes it very convenient. It's at the end of bay street which is a mixed-use shopping, dining, and entertainment complex situated along Shellmound street. Located right outside the main entrance, it's a quick walk to great dining and shopping options. Overall, I would definitely stay here again if I'm in the area. Safe Travels!

It informed guests that the building emergency situation had been cleared. I called the front desk because I hadn't heard there was an emergency. I was told "it was a drill."

You can do mobile check in on the app and there is also a mobile key. I am a Diamond member and while I would not say it was the friendliest Hilton I've ever experienced it certainly wasn't bad. My quibble. The door on some of the rooms are overcut. The airgap at the bottom seems like a bit of a security issue. Although one could say the lack of one could also be viewed as a security issue from another angle. A couple conferences were in town at the same time I was staying here so the bar area was a touch overcrowded with the normal tech business. Some of the drinks were wandering out into the main lobby area. Where they sat for a couple hours with stray napkins, etc. It seems like a basic commuter Hilton for people who for whatever reason find themselves with the necessity of staying in Emeryville or get a better deal than springing for SF. The bed was comfortable. The room itself was clean. Check in and check out were smooth and unremarkable. The room had a tub. My preferred getting clean option! If I was a tourist I would probably be a little underwowed. But I'm not, so it was just fine. If you are a tourist considering this hotel know it's nothing fancy but it is near the shopping mall that is Emeryville and for that reason everything will be pretty easily accessible. 4/5 for lobby cleanliness but otherwise perfectly serviceable.

The room itself was quite comfortable with two queen beds. My first disappointment in this place was that I found a black curly hair in the bathroom sink. It made me think that they may not have cleaned very well before we got there. Our second disappointment was that the bar closed early. We came back from watching fireworks at around 9 o'clock and the bar was supposed to close at 10. It had already closed by the time we got back there we were hoping to have a quick drink. We are also very disappointed that nobody knew anything about a shuttle that could have taken us down to the end where the park was so we could watch fireworks. I think that the staff was friendly enough, but didn't have a lot of knowledge about what was going on. It would've made it a lot easier for us if we've had the information about the shuttle so we didn't have to carry our chairs over a mile to the park. The street also was closed which we were not informed about. The refrigerator barely kept our food cold. I was very disappointed in this place.

On top of that which I didn't bring up to hotel staff because I was already livid and super late so I just wanted to get going was that the cars system let me know the car had been running for 50 minutes.
