MOXY Phoenix Tempe/ASU Area

The Locations was fine - right in the middle of Tempe's campus if you were visiting Tempe/ Phoenix for that purpose it's perfect Free Warm Cookies were a nice touch Chic decorations Modern , clean , well designed rooms, everything was new and fresh Comfy bed

It felt a little crappy to have to pay to park in their parking lot. I mean the whole of Tempe / Phoenix is one giant slab of concrete - literally every business has a parking lot but because of their campus location and restrictions on street parking they choose to charge guests to pay for their parking spot. It felt like being cheated a bit. The lot wasn't even close to full when we stayed either. I can see charging the public to pay as they are in a party neighborhood or during games but their own guests? felt obnoxious. Plus I've stayed in a lot of Marriot Bonvoy properties all over the country and never had to pay for parking even in the middle of downtown Washington D.C. 5 blocks from the white House

I liked having a bar (even though I don't drink alcohol they still had one of my favorite NA beers available) right in the main area of the hotel, breakfast was great meaning quality of the food.

I wished they had small refrigerators and/or coffee maker/microwave in the rooms. I did not explore whether I could request this, just assumed they would have it. We had left-overs from restaurants and no way to keep them cold. Also, when I first get up in the morning, I like to have coffee prior to dressing/showering and only way to do this is to march down the lobby to get some!

We stayed at the Moxy on both ends of our Tempe vacation (travelled to Sedona in the middle). The location was great for our purposes, as it was close to friends. The hotel has a great vibe. it was exciting to see the lobby filled almost all day long with groups of people -- enjoying the free games, the patio/pool or chilling at the bar. The rooms are cool, simple, and comfortable. The AC/heater worked very well. The deep end of the pool is 8-feet (impressive) and the pool water is heated (also impressive)

Not much to critique. Some of the lighting in the rooms are not that bright. I get that it is part of the ambiance, but you have to turn every light on to have a good view of the room at nighttime. The hot/cold works in the bathroom/shower, but they were inconsistent (i.e., where is hot/cold on the handle) between our first and second rooms.

I really like the unconventional and quirky decor and ambiance. The guys @ the front desk aka bar were fantastic! They treated us like royalty. The lobby / dining area created a very low key and relaxing vibe which is exactly what we were looking for. The room was dark, bed was comfortable and I slept better than I had in ages. The pool area was nice also.

Since it is right at ASU the traffic around the hotel was pretty heavy making getting in and out a bit uncomfortable. As some people mentioned there was an odor in the hallway and elevator but it smelled like an industrial cleaning product. I only noticed it when we first got there and it seemed to dissipate after awhile. The positives far and away out weighed these minor negatives.

The faculty had a cool and modern design. Location was perfect and had lots of options in walking distance. The bed was comfortable, shower was hot and high pressure. All of the staff were phenomenal.

The room was lit with Edison lights which created a really cool vibe, unfortunately, even with the window open the room remained very dark. There was no comforter or heavy blanket. The bed had a sheet and a light blanket. It was cool at night and we woke up freezing.

Everything. The lobby area is set up so well and and is really big with lots of games etc. I liked that reception is also the bar! Room was big and spacious with plenty of storage. Bathroom was also big with plenty of amenities. I also liked the ironing room on each floor which also had extra coffee, cups, toiletries etc.

I’m being really picky but it was a little strange that the toilet is right next to the shower door so it’s a little awkward getting in and out of the shower. But the shower is worth it!

We loved this hotel, it has a youthful vibe, the staff was amazing, we met wonderful people at the bar, even as we arrived at midnight, it was a treat to be able to have a drink at the lobby (ok, ASU parents connection and more) and the guitar in the room gave it a very special feeling, my husband toned and it played well, we couldn’t believe it! Why have I been staying elsewhere in the past, this will be my go to place every time I visit ASU. Thanks, Moxy!

The rooms are gorgeous, we had a view of the pool and a balcony, which was a nice bonus. The whole reception also being a bar at the same time to save on space and employees thing is a bit odd, but you get a couple of drink tickets with your stay and the staff are all very friendly. The rooms don't have a fridge or a microwave and instead of those little tiny soaps, they have large refillable bottles. Eco-friendly. Parking is 12 bucks a day, it did seem safe. Overall, I'd definitely come back. We did a 10-day road trip and stayed in a bunch of hotels, inns, and motels. This one was by far the best, if anything, for this reason - the wifi was actually fast. Oh, and bonus - the robot food delivery actually delivers to the hotel because it's so close to the campus! We ordered bagel breakfast both days that we stayed for.

I guess a fridge in the room would have made things easier.

The property was very close to a lot within the ASU/Downtown Tempe area. The lobby and amenities were nice and the two complimentary drinks were a great surprise.

There are only two things that I was a little iffy on, but they didn’t ruin my stay. I just want to mention these because it may bother other more than anything. 1) my room was supposed to be a pool view room according to my booking and I just got a view of a stuccoed cinder block wall. No pool view at all. 2) housekeeping seemed to be cleaning with Pinesol or something equivalent to it. The whole entire hallway and our room smelled so so so strong of Pinesol that for our two night stay we didn’t have housekeeping clean just to avoid the use of it in the room again. Aside from those two things, it was a good stay. I feel for the price, I would probably stay at the Westin or AC Hotel down the road and pay a bit more for more value.

I like how there was a giant bean bag in the room. It was super comfy and could be used to lounge in besides the bed in place of a couch. The bathroom was nice with a handheld shower head in a addition to the regular one.

The staff was not very customer friendly. They’re customer service was very poor. They are extremely hard to get ahold of when you are in need of something over the telephone.
