The staff was very attentive , they could not have been more friendly. The maintenance crew was very friendly as well , one man asked how my stay was going , I thought that was very nice of him.
Been here a couple of times now and for a hotel that isn’t one of the expensive show off ones it has been nothing short of exceptional, staff are Great and it’s such a good location for someone who needs somewhere to stay whilst he’s in town!
Hotel staff were extremely friendly. A free welcome drink doesn't hurt! The ambience is fun and hip. The gym is good and the location next to the university could not be better.
I traveled here from Cleveland, Ohio to attend to my graduation ceremony at ASU. The hotel was fun at night and clean and quiet in the room. I would come back again.
I stayed in a Moxy in another city so I was so excited to come stay. Unfortunately it was very run down and dirty. The bathroom in the lobby had a closed stall and the smell was terrible. My room felt very shabby and outdated. There were renovations happening so hopefully this is all stuff they’re working on. For the price I paid though, I wish I would have gone somewhere else. I was very bummed.
I should note that the staff was very friendly.
Love love love this place! From check in to getting to my cozy room was amazing! The staff was so incredible and inviting, free video games, board games, pool table and more. When coming to Tempe to visit from La this will be my spot. Kudos to the Moxy!

Friendly staff but this place is clearly more of a party hotel. Great location to ASU but someplace for your older brother to stay when he visits, not necessarily parents.

Pros:
The location is definitely a plus! The hotel is within walking distance of plenty of fast-food options, and CVS is practically connected to the hotel. The Moxy itself is aesthetically pleasing and has a really cool, modern vibe. I thought it was unique that the bartender is also the person who checks you in right at the bar! I was also given a card for a complimentary drink, which was a nice touch. There’s a lounge area with games to play, and the room itself was pretty standard.
Cons:
Unfortunately, my stay came with quite a few issues. There was ongoing construction, and there was a foul odor when entering through the back of the hotel that was also noticeable in the elevator.
The biggest issue was the plumbing. I learned about that the hard way when my toilet overflowed! I was absolutely mortified. 😩 I had to change rooms because of it. In the second room, the AC wasn’t working, so I had to move again. Finally, after being placed in a third room, everything was okay.
So, in one stay, I somehow managed to experience three different rooms at the Moxy. 😩 The hotel has a great location and a fun atmosphere, but the maintenance issues definitely put a damper on my experience.
