I have mixed feelings about this one - when we arrived there is no clear unloading place (just the street where there is heavy traffic) and a tiny lot in the back. Because it was not clear to us how parking worked and where we should unload, we parked in a reserved place until we could sort it out. Before we could barely ask to check in, the front desk worker was telling us we couldn't park there and could only stay for 5 minutes - note we hadn't yet even had the opportunity to ask about parking before they were somewhat condescendingly telling us we needed to move asap. We checked in (in five minutes........) and then unloaded our rental car, to go park a block away in an unmonitored lot for $18/day (no in and out). Not a comfortable feeling when you don't own the vehicle being parked. We got to our room and it was literally soooo small and had no amenities (no microwave, no fridge, no coffee maker, no counters in the bathroom, no place to sit, and not even a decent sized desk - it has to fold out from the wall because the room is so small). As an adult, while traveling, for the cost of the rooms I expect there to be an area to get ready and a place to set my toiletries. There was like 2 feet surrounding the bed and genuinely no other room - postage stamp. Room finishes also seemed worn (sagging leather on the literal only piece of furniture in the room other than the nightstands, chipped corners, etc). The value just is not there - way too much effort was given to making this place seem cool (and don't get me wrong, it is) and not enough time actually thinking about function for weary travelers. Other than college aged students who can somehow afford this place and folks who are either super keen on the location or are just looking for a quick place to crash, I'm not sure how this place can continue to charge the prices it does. Thankfully when we asked to leave the front desk worker was polite and kind and refunded us, truly saving this review from being 1 star to 3. Ultimately I would never book here again, and would not recommend it. We went to the Graduate Hotel instead, which was a bit more expensive but worlds more value and comfort.

Our stay was great! As soon as I stepped into the hotel, I was immediately greeted by the front desk receptionist Thomas. Thomas had already checked on my Marriott status and had upgraded our, supplied us with drink vouchers, and made us feel like we "owned" the place. Thomas even offered us a late check-out the following day. All these perks without me asking. We really appreciated the treatment we received from Thomas! The rest of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Our room was awesome, with a great vibe that made us feel more like we were staying in a fancy modern apartment. The lobby had a variety of fun games to play.

Vibes!!! Thats the word that comes to mind !!If you're looking for a new, not so crowded bar with plenty of seating , the Moxy is the place for you!! They have out done themselves! From the decorations to the location, I was impressed!! Everything was clean! I loved loved loved that. You know in some bars/lounges you can spot dust that has just been living it's whole life there?? It's always on some random piece of furniture or on an unmaintained piece of decor! Well I couldn't find ANY!!! Great job staff for your precious time and keeping this place well maintained!! Shout out to the bartender!! It's one thing I can't stand is a bartender running around like a chicken with it's head cut off and still have too many customers to get too with no end in sight! Nope not here! Laid back service with quaint conversation!!! I hope you take time out of one of your nights or weekends to check this awesome place out! 5 stars!!! Keep up the great work guys!!

Very welcoming and inclusive feeling. Honestly the entire staff made me feel comfortable and welcome, sigh, except the bartender whom was “called in” on his evening off. He was not the vibe of everyone else. My human and I enjoyed the free drink token as well as, some delightful conversations with the guests at the bar. This is what I love about travel and this hotel made it easier to meet random strangers who felt like friends. Loved the vibe.

The staff makes this place a genuinely fantastic experience. We have made a special request to the front desk after a tiring trip, simply to feel a bit more relaxed, and they were quick to respond. They were truly accommodating and went above and beyond to make the exhaustion that much better. Fernando and Justine, you are terrific :) Thank you. I hope the hotel appreciates you as much as we do :)

Wifey and I loved our stay here. The rooms are modern and clean and you have everything you need. Your privacy is respected by housekeeping which is a plus. I don't have enough good things to say about the staff working downstairs at check in/out and those working the bar. We requested a late check out and they were great about it. They even put our carry on in lockers so we could come back and get our stuff as our flight back home wasn't until the evening. The people and atmosphere here are a big part of the impression left on my wife and I about the city of Minneapolis and our desire to relocate. Ignore what people say about Uptown compared to the North Loop which is only a 10 minute drive away if you want to explore btw. It's coming back and a much cheaper area to navigate. Being queer and from Pittsburgh it could not have been a better experience for us.

Moxy has its own smell it seems as through they pump it through the vents it’s very specific and I love it! The rooms are small but they are so unique and modern you don’t tend to notice. The shower was epic and the shampoo & conditioner are really good! The staff are always friendly and upbeat and queer friendly!! They have a bar and great comfy group seating in the lobby with tons of fun games.

This is hotel with modern (small, think tiny home style rooms) and a ground level bar. We enjoy the ability for the bar to open up the windows when the weather is nice! Prices are pretty high for drinks and “bites” which were $15 Naan pizzas - very tiny. Not a great bang for your buck. But the bar area is nice and there are lots of games to play. I hope they offer more food choices in the future at a variety of price points.

This is a cute "modern" hotel. It has a lot of character. The staff was extremely friendly. The lobby bar was great. Each guest receives a free drink ticket. The gym is downstairs. It's small, but it had what we needed. Let's address the elephant in the room now. The rooms are small. I mean so small that they have pegs on the wall to hang your stuff instead of an actual closet or wardrobe. The rooms also lack the usual amenities like irons(they have a steamer), ironing board, water bottles, or ice buckets. I didn't even see an ice machine, but I could have just missed it. Parking us basically a paid lot across the street. Not the best. Overall, we enjoyed our stay well enough. If the price is right, we would come back. I just feel they put style over substance here.

Moxy is the "cool" Marriott, as imagined by a millennial who grew up in the suburbs and had a Gen X creative director running the project. Every room has a guitar and an amp. I'm not sure why. Rooms are tiny, but comfortable enough, with a Thoroughly Modern Bathroom with subway tile. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were a bit too smooshy for my taste (forgivable since I slept great). There are fun accents like ambient lighting underneath the bed that is motion activated so you don't bump into things in the middle of the night. Staff were great and there was even passable free coffee in the mornings. You are 25m from downtown via a few different bus routes or you can take the Lake Street bus to or from the light rail to the airport.

I was happy with this hotel. They were friendly, and I think the free drink ticket when you get in is a nice perk. Definitely more of a millennial / trendy vibe. Cost wasn't too bad, and I liked that I wasn't downtown right next to the conference I was attending, it gave me an escape which was really nice. The steamer in-room is also a nice touch. It did feel a bit small / cramped and I wish it had a real closet to hang stuff in, but those are minor gripes. Check it out !

no no just don't go if you do A- bring your own blanket, B- it stinks in rooms, and the bathroom shower has no door so prepare for cold morning showers, C- expect no comfortable chairs to sit on in room WTF? Staff was crabby b*%# in the AM so expect attitude in the am if you need cream or sugar filled for coffee..seriously. I am leaving a REAL review...down stairs is cute and has a bar and some games that was the highlight but not at all worth your stay and comfort. A cardboard box is better. Have an uncomfortable stay!

Usually, hotels are just a place for the weary traveler to get a good nights sleep..if they come with a bar / restaurant, it's just an added bonus. The Moxy really takes what you think you know about a hotel, and turns it upside down. Definitely tailored for millennials, it is a very trendy place. Lots of random art and neon signs adorn the walls. The lobby has a full bar staffed by amazing and friendly people. There is also plenty of places to lounge and play games (or records!) The rooms might lack storage, but they have plenty of places to hang your things. The bathrooms are the highlight here. Ultra modern and adorned with subway tiles and Edison bulb lights, it really makes you feel like you are staying at a trendy spot in NYC. I can't gush enough about this place. If I'm traveling and there is a Moxy hotel in the city, I will go here first!

What I'm about to say may sound like an insult, but it is absolutely not: This is a hip, locally-focused Millennial hotel at an amazing price. This is the EXACT type of hotel I want to stay in while traveling, on the rare occasions that I get a hotel instead camping on BLM land for free. Or, as a way to treat myself after sleeping on the ground for a week! This isn't a place most families or older couples would enjoy because: the rooms are small and it can be noisy. Check-in was a breeze and came with 2 free drink tokens, in the form of guitar picks. The drinks you could redeem these for weren't throwaway swill, they were all local brews and house-made cocktails. All of the art here was local, and much of it BLM(different BLM than the one I reference above)-focused, AWESOME! This would be at the top of my list, were I ever in Minneapolis again. We were impressed!

The inside of a Moxy has been updated with a cultural and local feel. I'm happy they've done this to embrace all the change that Uptown has gone through. I've been here on a few dj nights and you can get out and dance! The times I've been here it hasn't been overly busy, but that means better service at the bar for you?? They get a melting pot of people in here and it's a good time.

Way to small even for 2 people. Trying to depict European hotels are not a good idea in the US.

I stayed there because of the Marriott Brand. I am sorry to say this specific hotel is awful! We got bitten by bedbugs within minutes of laying down to watch tv! Those pests were not even shy to be in the light! We got switched to a different room where maybe there were less bugs; however, after 2 more nights I got enough bites to complain again. I was told via email and in person, that I was getting all my money back... I am still waiting for my security deposit ( $300+). It's been 15 calendar days. They're radio silent.

This hotel is all about location location location. Not friendly for longer stays. Small room, no coffee in room, hooks not hangers, NO FREE PARKING, ice machine ???. Guitar in the room - can't image how much that ' incidental ' will cost. Maybe I am just old and don't care / understand the decor. The staff was outstanding. Drinks were expensive - but this is expected due to the area and Marriott hotel brand.

We've stayed at the Moxy a few time and it's cool. Downstairs is a bit of a party, with a really welcoming, fun vibe. Exceptional bar with good service. The rooms are on the small side, with IKEA-ish furniture and nice, modern bathrooms with walk-in showers. The beds are okay - a little sore in the back after a 3 day stay. They have a guitar and amp in the room, which would be fun if the guitar wasn't always missing strings! Parking isn't fun - there's a pay lot across the street that is a little sketchy, and a few precious street spots that need paid starting at 8am. But all in all I like the Moxy. It's a great value for the price.

Late night check in at Moxy Uptown and they know how to take care of a weary traveller. We got in on a 1am Southwest flight and arrived here via a kind Lyft, and Nic and Aaron took really good care of us upon arrival (Nic happened to be coming in and was off the clock but still made sure we got what we needed!). I already know this is gonna be a wonderful experience - any place where the guest registration is at the bar only gets better - and I'll update my review accordingly!

The Moxy brand of hotels is quickly becoming one of my favorite brands to stay with as I travel for work. The newly opened Moxy in Uptown Minneapolis is great! Friendly staff that greet you with a complimentary signature cocktail as you check-in. The lobby is young, hip and so well designed! Same goes for the rooms! Plus it is locales just seconds away from great restaurants and bars. Definitely staying there every time I am in Minneapolis!

If you are a Marriott person beware, this is not going to meet your expectations. It is a funky weird hotel. Cool if you are a hipster and never experience a record player growing up. For those of us that actually had record players as our only means of buying and listening to music, it's just a novelty. When they mention self parking, that means you will have to find somewhere to park in this part of the city, it's free parking as long as you don't get a ticket or towed. The abandoned Arby's across the street with the occasional food truck has more dining options than the hotel does. As mentioned by a previous review, you check in at the bar. Meaning the bartender checks you in. You do get a guitar pick good for their signature cocktail and a poker chip worth $10 towards food or booze. You food options are that of a 7-eleven, prepackaged sandwiches, fruit cup, yogurt, water etc. The standard rooms are small, when I say small, I mean small. No closet, just pegs on the wall, no desk and chair to work at, but you do get a metal stool this size of the one you sat on in art class in 3rd grade and a folding round table that hangs on the wall in case you need it. Zero breakfast food in the morning, zero newspapers and limited coffee / tea. If you want to feel as though you are staying at a hotel that understands the hospitality industry, don't stay here, if you are looking to get drunk in a bar that has an elevator that leads to a closet sized room with a guitar and amp with no patch cable, then stay here. In all fairness it was a unique experience, but maybe for a Friday night getaway from the kids.

The lobby is pretty nice here with lots to do and decent bar. The location is near a lot of great stuff in easy walking distance. They also have free, decent wifi, which is a plus. The staff was also really friendly. These are the positives. The info for this place is flat out wrong, to start with. It says "masks required" and "staff wears masks". Neither of those are true. The rooms here are tiny. They are sold as "european", which is just an excuse for miniscule. There's basically a bed, a chair, and a bathroom crammed into a small box. There's no dresser, no closet, no desk (sort of, there's a small fold down "desk" with a really crappy stool to sit on), the "side tables" are very small with no drawers. The rooms are about as stripped down as they can possibly be. The bed is a memory foam on a wooden pedestal. If you like memory foam mattresses, yay for you, if not, welcome to a crappy night's sleep. The air conditioner is pretty bad, in a very specific way. Does it cool the room, yep, it does that just fine. The problem is that there is no way to set the fan to just be on, so if you are not a heavy sleeper, plan to be woken up repeatedly in the middle of the night when the AC fan and compressor pop on (quite loud). This next bit is not the end of the world and more of just a general WTF. They have square toilets. Why? My imagination plays out like this: Hipster person says "you know what other hotels don't have, square toilets, so let's get those because different is cool". Hands down, not even close, this is the WORST TOILET I'VE EVER SAT ON. It's not comfortable in any way and you just feel like you're going to fall in the entire time. This is one of the dumbest choices I've ever seen somebody make in my entire life. WTAF? So, what this all boils down to is: Are you a heavy sleeper that likes memory foam and you plan on just sleeping in your room? Maybe this will be ok for you. If not, avoid this place at all costs.

Really enjoyed the vibe of the Moxy. The rooms are small as expected with this style hotel (it is all about location). I was inspired how they incorporated cool small space living ideas. Our bed floor frame even lights up if you set foot in the dark for a night bathroom run. Loved the white subway tile bathroom and decor (retro phone and guitar) in the room too. The pillows and bed were very comfortable! I was obsessed cuddling the pillows. I want to know who makes them. The main floor and bar super swanky place to chill with a cocktail. Moxy hotels never disappoint. Full of surprise and delight exploration.

I've been to the Moxy a handful of times, mostly for the non-hotel-y things... like cocktails and dancing. Surprise - this hotel is a fun "girls night out" destination! The bar here is solid and is attached to a trendy lounge with collages of Kate Moss and Jimi Hendrix's faces in them. I love how in the summer, they open up the bar so you can belly up right from the sidewalk. The bartenders have been great with each visit too! Moxy hosts a lot of events like themed music/dance nights and special DJs. I've come here expecting to grab a few drinks with my girlfriends, but ended up dancing my ass off for hours. S/O to DJ Nak & Neekasodope for orchestrating my monthly workout! I've also stayed at the hotel overnight (I won a giveaway!) and the hotel rooms were photo-ready. Tall ceilings, clean design, a guitar and amp... pretty sweet. Mine needed a little bathroom clean, though. And the breakfast flatbread I bought the next morn had a superrrr undercooked egg on it. Otherwise, I loved my stay!

This was exactly what I was looking for - a nice hotel located conveniently to where I needed to be in the Minnesota metro. Perks: comfortable bed, complimentary drink during their daily happy hour (beer, wine, or cocktail), and fun amenities (record player, etc). I didn't use their gym but found my stay to be pleasant and accommodating! They held my luggage after checkout so I could run a required errand. There's a small target, CVS, and Walgreens all within a 2 block radius. Would not hesitate to stay again.

I have to say, I don't come out often enough! I happened to drop in to hear some good music, specifically by DJ Bonics (Wiz Khalifa's dj) & DJ Nak. I'm sure they announced how often they play there but I was consumed in the large size game of Jenga. There's tic tac toe and several other games to play all while chillin in the lounge or bar area. Nothing like low lights, dope music, chill people, and tasty drinks. Did I mention low key? They were playing reggae, hip hop, & rnb. I gather most of the adults ranged 25 and up. Not crowded where you bump shoulders walking around or drunk people who couldn't handle their liquor. Def a place where there are mature & respectful professionals, diverse people, & one of the best places to chill in Uptown. It is a hotel building. It's located in Uptown, right off Lake Street. There isn't valet but street parking. You can park at other bars in Uptown or Uber/Lyft for a few bucks. The Uptown Cub is across the street and Target nearby. If you're looking for a place that is low key, respectful & mature adults, good music, a small dance floor, go when these djs are playing or any other dj. Seems they have a good selection of djs who have similar taste in music as I do.

I am RATING THE BAR ONLY-where my best friend and amigo spent the day while Issa took our orders and safely kept my tab open. Games, great music, records to play(real by vinyl). Cool neon. Diversity of people. In and out all day. What a great day...and this was the lobby! The drink prices are fair and the young upstart 20 something's behind the bar are terrific. I really felt like an important customer. My stay at Moxy isn't quite over yet. Checking out tomorrow, I will review some other parts of the hotel. As for Issa and the rest of the staff...well done.

This was my first stay at a Moxy hotel, so I didn't really know what I was getting into. The hotel is very modern with a punk vibe. The check in desk is also the bar and it feels like a fancy college dorm. They play loud music during the day and bands come in to rock out at night. The staff was friendly in a sort of hipster way. My room was miniscule. It truly is the size of a room you would expect in NYC. The bed was pretty comfortable and the bathroom was just fine, but again small. There is no desk whatsoever to do work on unless you want to use a folding table and chair which are hung on the wall. There is also a guitar in every room in case you want to make your own musics for some reason. I think I am about 15 years too old to truly enjoy the Moxy experience. The rate here was $200 midweek. This hotel is in Uptown Minneapolis and doesn't have a lake view or anything great location wise. It seems priced too high compared to the downtown hotels.

PROS Location Friendly staff CONS -Filthy !!! I found blond hair everywhere -The corners are filthy as if no one is sweeping/mopping -The stand up shower was clogged and kept overflowing - I called for maintenance no one ever arrived -The walls are so thin you can hear what's happening in the hallway and adjacent rooms

Ef you Moxy! Considering that this is the only hotel in Uptown. Their service is horrible. 1. You pay for $25 for valet service only to learn that your car gets parked in the ramp by Sushi Tango (2 blocks down). When trying to retrieve your car, you're told to "walk to the ramp to get ur car." 2. The bartenders are rude. We happened to stay the night of their "one year anniversary." So hotel attendees received free drink tickets. Went to the bar, bartender claimed he "will be right with us." Waited another 10 minutes and nothing. It wasn't until another bartender came and asked us what we wanted. Had we not had free drink tickets the first bartender probably would've served us. If you're desperate for a hotel in uptown then you have choice and choose Moxy. However expect horrible service. The "vibe" of the hotel is cute, different. But the service of the hotel ruins the vibe. On top of that, Moxy apparently hired a "professional artist" to draw photos of guests as part of their one year anniversary party. When asked if she had a line or for service she claims "I only have 3 pieces of paper left." Rude, why hire someone who doesn't know what they're doing? F you Moxy!!!

Uptown girl living in an MSP Uptown world especially where at Moxy. When I checked it, I was greeted by a friendly girl who checked me into my room ironically at their bar/front desk. She provide me with a guitar pick - pretty rad- and a free drink voucher. She gave me the low down of the hotel. Great location and great vibes. I was able to walk to a local gym and grab a bite to eat because of its convenient location. I liked the music decor and the minimalist decor in my room. The caveat to staying here is parking. I had to pay $25 for valet per day.

I wish I could give more stars but... The room was very small, they had no room service and not even a glass to drink water out of, and they also did not have a coffee maker or any amenities at all in the room, except it was really cool that they had a guitar with an amp in it, i'd be interested in seeing what the other rooms look like, but I just got a standard room.

I love the Moxy! Upon check-in you'll get a complementary drink. This moxy wasn't like the one in SD. Their drink list is small. And they have similar cocktails but the consistency is different. I had ordered a flash on fleak and it was clear? From what I remember it's suppose to have a yellow color to it but whateves... they also didn't light up the garnish! Which is the best part of the presentation!! But service was awesome!!! I was beyond happy with their customer service!! Food was great i was the chicken with pickles nums! So good! Rooms are decent size. They have the basics! It's very modern! Games at the lobby which I loved! I think I might of lost my beanie at the bar :( Service is always good AM and PM The girl that checked us in brought me extra pillows and a blanket to put room!! Ty!! As I checked out. I needed to check my bag because my flight was later. And Kristie helped me out. The whole staff at moxy was AWESOME!! Btw I loved the girl (bartender) with the long braids. She knows how to take care of guest!! I would of given it 5 stars if the drinks Service 5 stars Food 4 stars Drinks 4 stars Urgency 5stars PLAY AT THE MOXY!!!

Great aesthetic to the entire property.The intent was met. The problem it all seems a bit over the top but nonetheless works. The guitars in the room are a fun touch that I truly enjoyed. The smart TVS are another nice touch. Overall very trendy and on brand throughout. Parking is a moderate pain in the winter. Probably better in the Spring and Summer. The bar and front desk staff is was very nice during my stay in February 2019. Thank you.

This hotel is awesome. My boyfriend and I love traveling to Europe and we felt like we were back there. The rooms are smaller but have everything you need. The TV has access to hook up your Netflix. The service was great, and you get a free drink when you check in! We will be keeping this place in mind when we come back to visit the city.

The most stupid hotel I have ever stayed at Outside of the Valet (seems like a nice young man), the entire staff appears to be a bunch of clueless teenagers who know nothing about the hospitality business let alone running a hotel ... the staff appears bored and unclear about their role (even though from a guest's perspective there is so much they could do). This hotel NEEDS NEW LEADERSHIP! THE HOTEL NEEDS A LEADER WHO UNDERSTANDS THE HOSPITALITY BUSINESS AND KNOWS HOW TO INSPIRE AND MOTIVATE A YOUNG, INEXPERIENCED TEAM. In addition to a clueless staff, there is: - No ice maker - No food (the bar has snacks) - Coffee in the morning is very hard to find (They never have any!) And don't get me started on creamers!! - The house beer (PBR) was not working the whole time -- with no substitutions offered... - Extremely loud and echoey (they need to put rugs in these little rooms or something to absorb sound) - In addition to not getting the basics right... And this is inexcusable for a millennial hotel... The WiFi sucks!!!! LOL crazy The location is good, the room is clean (kudos to housekeeping staff), but the guest-facing staff generally sucks. My advice to Marriott: fire the boss/manager and put a seasoned pro from a Westin (or any of your other mid-level properties) in charge to train people and turn this place around ASAP.

I don't know if I have ever had a really stellar experience at a hotel until now. I was a little skeptical about what appeared to be a pretty hipster joint. I stayed four nights and it was my first time in Minneapolis. Things were just starting to relax post Covid. My room was clean and comfortable. Made use of the steamer and the bedtime meditation (on the phone!). Liked that the shower fit two :) blackout shades were appreciated. Bed was comfortable too. The best part by far was the lobby interactions. It was amazing to meet new folks. One of the staff, Aaron and I chatted a bit about the state of the world. Had a lovely interaction with Christie too. Met another amazing human in the lobby and chatted for hours. Excellent place for people looking to fill their social cup.

Great location but the rooms are the smallest I have ever seen. Like, super tiny. No closet. No fridge. No ice. No place for luggage. No dresser. No parking.

I love stopping by here for drinks at their bar and any events they might be hosting involving dancing! I found the bartending staff to be really nice and their decor is very hip and cool, a bit different than the aesthetic you might find at most chain hotels in downtown Minneapolis. I did stay here once which I really appreciated, but was surprised at how it lacked some basics that other hotels have like a microwave, fridge, ironing board and iron (they did have a steamer), or even a closet to put your clothes in (they did have a rack of hooks along the wall for you to hang things from.) If you appreciate the basics and want to stay in Uptown, the Moxy is a unique place to stay!

The Moxy takes on a trendy, hip edge to hotelling. The theme is music so there's frames of musicians, jazz/singers various nights of the week in the lounge, and guitars/speakers in every room! They give you a free drink (pick) if you are staying the week and it can be used on house wine, beer, or well drinks. I love that there's board games, foozball, a beer pong table, giant jenga, and shuffleboard downstairs. I LOVE that the lounge is also an area for guests to barhop. I love that the stairs don't require the hassle of key card access, and that there are steamers in every room. They have a fun concept of floor-wide hammock lounges, and then there's the iron room if you need an ironing board (or call to request one get sent upstairs). For high-maintenance hair guests, there is desperate conditioner, but the shampoo/body wash is one. I would give Moxy five stars if they had a compost bin downstairs, or at the very least recycling bins downstairs, and/or recycling trash bins in every room. As a hotel corporation their environmental impact and responsibility to sustainability is large.

This was such a cool place! Super unique and has a lot of cool opportunities to interact with friends and family. Plus every room has a guitar! Had some really good and really bad customer service

In need of better management! The place itself looks nice, modern and metro. I actually liked the room although it was a tad small. There are several problems that exist. You can hear everything outside and inside. They have a club and bar where they hold events, such as salsa night and karaoke. I was on the third floor and I can hear everything. You can hear the traffic and the bums out there screaming their heads off. There were a couple of incidents, one being the DJ that was performing there getting into a fight with another and some other guy causing a ruckus. The more disturbing thing was the rudeness of the staff. The Bartender was very abrasive and continuously spoke his views on his political stance in his northeastern accent. The manager, who I guess runs the front desk was very rude also. I witnessed her give good treatment to the Muslim community and rude to all others. Every time I encountered her she was stand-offish and not that helpful when I asked her questions. I definitely do not recommend this place unless there is new management in the works.

Such a quaint New York, boutique style hotel. Their use of space is what sold me on the room. It may be small but thank you for the perfect use of space. Wish I could've eaten on my table but it was great to see it neatly stacked on the wall. Only drawback: no hotel lotion. I love collecting hotel lotions. Either way, the Moxy is a sure go-to Hotel. And it's perfectly located near great eateries and an A++ for being a block away from Target.

Trying too hard to be cool and not succeeding Basic accommodations with good internet connection, ok for a quick business trip. However, lots of failures in the basic operations - here are some I experienced: - Parking advertised as available, in reality, only 5 spots for the whole hotel. You end up parking on the street. - Check-in - I was given a room that was actually occupied - Bathroom has a hand shower that is not connected - Desk staff not around - went down to get coffee [BEWARE, NO COFFEE MAKER IN ROOM], the thermos was almost empty and there was no creamer. I took the last of the coffee and looked around for the front desk person for about 5 minutes. Turns out he was on his phone walking around the outside of the hotel. I finally walked behind the unattended bar and looked for milk myself... I have stayed at the Moxy in other cities, and this one does not stack up.

The bar tenders and drinks were the best part of my experience ( as well as the comfy bed). The customer service fort he hotel portion was awful. Trying to extend my stay and give this hotel more money seemed like an inconvenience to the lady helping us out. She was curt, rude and uncommunicative, and didn't share the next-steps in processing payment. After paying for another night's stay ( which we didn't use fully since we just needed a few more hours into the evening) we didn't get room service or a change of towels. I've stayed at convenience motels that were better for less.

I stopped in yesterday after work for a few drinks. I was greeted by a wonderful bartender (Issa) who served me up right away. Wonderful decor, plenty of activities to do within the bar area, including beer pong and a foosball table. Overall, I have a good evening hanging out and talking to other guests and staff!

Horrible. First off there's no parking. I was stuck at the airport due to mechanical problems so because I was didn't check in by midnight they called me a no show and took 300$ and if I want a room I have to pay again!!!

I had a great experience overall at the Moxy. The girl at the front, Danielle was so accommodating and well-mannered. After telling her I was thinking of staying one more night she helped me with my booking. I was sincerely taken a back by her professionalism. The facility is beautiful with great entertainment throughout the whole lobby. 5 stars all the way around.

The Young Woman Danielle at the front desk who works overnights is ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! I booked my room through a travel site and for some reason , even though I had a confirmation, there was no reservation in my name. But never fear , Danielle is here and she calmed me down, resolved the situation and even helped me order food! I'm on the road and in hotels quite often and sometimes the memories of them all are just blurred together. It takes someone going above and beyond the usual spectrum of their responsibilities to stand out and Danielle did just that. I truly appreciated her concern and the way she took on my problem as if were her own. I would definitely recommend the Moxy Uptown Minneapolis to any looking for a hotel in the area . And if you want to make sure everything is perfect... ask for Danielle!!! I will definitely return!

Love. Love. Love. Best hotel lobby of all time. Snack on some complimentary anti-depressants (skittles), grab a drink from the bar and pick from: being a loner and plugging in your headphones to listen to their free vinyl collection, test your shuffle board or foosball skills with a pal or make friends over a game of monopoly. While the rooms aren't huge (think NYC hotel room) they are very stylish and comfortable each equipped with an electric guitar and amp. Wanna chill outside your room? Snag a hammocks on your floor. If you're into a good vibe with great staff slinging drinks in a great little neighborhood Moxy in uptown is your your hotel.
