“During my stay at Moxy Times Square, I experienced a thoughtfully curated guest journey that balanced efficiency, personality, and genuine care. From check-in onward, the team demonstrated strong service fundamentals paired with human warmth, an intersection that matters deeply in modern hospitality. I’d like to personally acknowledge Jimmi and Imani for their professionalism and welcoming presence, as well as Marco and Ossy for their attentiveness throughout my stay. A special mention to JP in Security, whose calm, consistent approach reinforced a strong sense of safety and trust. While Jason adhered closely to protocol, which I respect, especially as he is new, the overall service ecosystem still felt adaptive and guest-centered. I appreciate his attentiveness and commitment to doing the job right, and I’d also like to extend thanks to Jorge, Head of Security. Coming from a large convention hotel environment myself, I’m especially attuned to operational flow and interdepartmental coordination. I appreciated the seamless phone communication with Housekeeping and the team’s responsiveness, specifically Edmond, whose friendly demeanor and positive presence as a runner reflected strong service instincts. These interactions were clear indicators of effective internal systems and guest recovery readiness. The front-facing experience felt intentional, and the small touches (including treats and thoughtful moments of engagement) contributed to a sense of personalization without intrusion. Overall, this stay reinforced why I’m proud to be part of the Marriott family. Moxy offered a distinctive yet reliable experience, playful in brand, disciplined in execution. I’m grateful for the name-level recognition during my stay, and I’m always happy to elaborate further if feedback is helpful. Personal thank you again to Jimmi!”

“We had a great stay at Moxy Hotels. The atmosphere was modern, fun, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The highlight of the experience was definitely Giselle at the bar. She provided outstanding customer service, had an amazing personality, and made everyone feel comfortable and taken care of. Her drinks were excellent, and her energy really added to the overall vibe of the hotel. The staff overall was friendly, the hotel was clean, and the experience exceeded expectations. Giselle truly stood out and made our visit memorable. We will definitely be back. 5 stars.”

“The staffs were super friendly and have a beautiful energy and environment. The place feels like you are at your own place while the world outside seems to disappear to create an exquisite ambiance that made it feel like. I would recommend this place when visiting downtown Houston. It’s really an excellent experience to have because it caters to all guests without any feel of being at a hotel. Sammy is people oriented and awesome. Great place to stay. Five stars in my book.”
