10/10 Excellent
"I loved everything about my stay at the Moxy Hotel! But what I loved the most was the staff—they were truly the best. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. They made me feel right at home and brought such great energy throughout my entire stay. The hotel itself was fun, comfortable, and had such a great vibe, but the people are definitely what made the experience so special. I would absolutely stay here again! ❤️"
