The hotel had a horrible smell downstairs—so bad that housekeeping was overheard commenting on it. In our room, my boyfriend turned on a lamp and was shocked by dparking popping lamp became dizzy which was very concerning. We alerted the front desk in the early am around 5:45 ; the agent was concerned but was leaving for the day and said she would leave a message for maintenance/management to address it before we used the power again. No one ever came, even though we had a 1 PM late checkout. Getting ready without power was not ideal.
The room itself also had a very bad odor, to the point that we had to buy air freshener. While I will say the water pressure and hot water were some of the best I’ve had in a hotel in a long time, that alone is not enough to make me want to return given the safety concerns, smells, and lack of follow‑through.

A blaring fire alarm went off twice in the middle of the night Saturday night/Sunday morning telling us to evacuate the building. As you can image, being ripped out of sleep to “evacuate” was an excessive amount of anxiety we had to deal with. After 1-2 minutes of trying to get our wits about us, the alarm stopped.

With no explanation.
no confirmation of a false alarm.
just silence for us to sit in and determine if we were on the 3rd floor of a burning building.

Incredibly, it happened again in the wee hours of that same morning. Same alarm, same message, same anxiety, same sudden stop, same silence leaving us to guess as to our situation and our safety.

Been staying in Marriott properties for almost 40 years and while accidents happen, humans make mistakes, an occasional service issue arises, nothing that caused my physical heart rate to spike.

And then?
No explanation.
Nothing.

We did receive our bill however. Thank for that.

Think about how you would feel? Really, if you are reading this, do you think that at a bare bones minimum, you might get a “sorry about that …”.

Hotel is rundown, carpets were gross, they took out the old shampoos and conditioners and replaced them with cheap quality products.
Stayed here a couple years ago and the quality has gone down drastically. Not to mention that they had the fire alarm going off several times a day over two days. Staff was pleasant.

The lobby is actually so cute and retro! You check in at the bar and it looks so nice until you walk into the hallway the floor has huge dips under the carpet that you don't see until you're tripping, then open your hotel and it smells of mildew, everything feels wet, the shower is filthy and has black build up over the caulking. I literally left with an ick feeling. I can see the concept was a cute idea but only if there is proper renovations done. We choose to stay here because it was next to our daughter's dorm but in the future we will skip the Moxy

Sigh...I have been choosing to stay at the Moxy since we moved my daughter into ASU a year and a half ago. This last visit was very disappointing with issue after issue. These included a leak in the bathroom which lead to 3 requests for clean towels after cleaning the leak. The door lock needing to be charged. The TV remote not being responsive. And then add 15 9-12 year old boys running and screaming and splashing. I have second thoughts about booking here again in the future.

The good: the lobby was really fun and the poolside cabanas were very comfortable. Loved the drink vouchers. The bed was comfortable. Very convenient to public transit. There were some affordable and tasty food and drink options nearby. The bad: the room did not have a refrigerator and that is something I come to expect. Corridors were run down and elevators made lots of noise so didn't instill a lot of confidence they would get you up or down. Had to pay daily for parking. And of course the pool heater was broken so it was not usable at the time of our stay.

We were able to establish WiFi in the room no problem after we checked in however at 1am the WiFi abruptly shut off. The front desk woman offered no help or compensation for it and explained there was nothing they can do and for the remainder of our stay we were without wifi. I tried to call the front desk for information however they never picked up the phone and when she told me to dial 5 to call them and I tried it never worked and no one picked up. It’s a shame the front desk woman doesn’t provide any correct information on how to reach them from our room so I had to leave my room multiple times in the middle of the night to ask questions about our issues. I think it’s embarrassing a room with no fridge, no microwave, and now no wifi can be over $250 a night. I’ve been to hotels for less than $100 a night that offer a fridge, a microwave, and high speed wifi with zero issues whatsoever. It’s a shame they put all their effort into presentation but their rooms are extremely underwhelming. Their elevator is clearly on its last legs and it should’ve been a sign that things wouldn’t be up to par. They offer a “communal microwave” as a substitute but that’s completely ludicrous and disgusting you have to leave your room and share a microwave with 100 people downstairs to heat up any food. I feel scammed playing more than $250 for a room that falls short of any amenities and doesn’t offer any solution to any problems that I ran into. I won’t be returning to this hotel again.

The feel of the place from the decor to the staff was fantastic. I really enjoyed it. The ability to actually sleep well was not good. Beds were too soft, the pillows large and lumpy, and with glass windows on every room door, the shade that is on them blocked a decent fraction of the hall light, but not nearly well enough. Many great aspects, but I’ll choose somewhere else next time.

I've stayed here multiple times over the years, but this is the last. First off, the staff was very nice and amazing. But that's where it ended. The area has definitely gone downhill and didn't feel safe for parking or walking around. The hotel condition has definitely gone downhill and is completely neglected. My toilet didn't work at all and the front desk told me it would be fixed by the time I returned from a long day out working. Negative, it was a sewer smell I couldn't take. I had to switch rooms, which they quickly and graciously accommodated. Coffee machine in lobby didn't work to make anything but the drip provided and they said it would be 2 weeks before someone could fix it? Hallways and stairways were dirty. Rooms looked like they were beaten up. Mold in bathroom from years of build up. Hope it gets better and cleaned up. It's been historically a pretty reasonably price good value place.

We had such a fantastic stay at the Moxy! From the moment we arrived, everything was smooth, fun, and unique. Check-in at the bar was such a cool touch and really set the tone for the whole experience.

A special shoutout to Jackson and Shea/Shy who were working that Sunday when we checked in. They were incredibly welcoming, super informative, and took the time to answer all of our questions without ever making us feel rushed. Their energy, friendliness, and outgoing personalities really made us feel right at home.

The atmosphere throughout the hotel was fun, vibrant, and exactly what we were hoping for. We genuinely enjoyed every part of our stay and can’t wait to come back!

The manager of the hotel did a nice job of making our stay very comfortable. Our room was remodeled and very clean. There were other parts of the hotel such as the hallways and elevator which have not been updated yet, but that didn't really impact our stay. We enjoyed the community spaces of the pool and the front desk/bar area. We would suggest calling ahead to ensure that the room you are booking has been remodeled. The hotel is in an area which can access public transportation easily.

The only good thing about the hotel was appearance of my hotel room and the front desk girl who let me borrow an iron for the time of my stay. The floor was extremely dirty and actually had to buy disinfecting wipes and a disposable mop to clean it since clearly the staff does not focus on this part. When I wiped the floor the cleaning wipes were black from all the dirtiness. Unsure of what else was that dirty, I took it upon my self to clean the rest of the areas that I was going to access, such as the bathroom. I was expecting way more from the staff specially after they leave a note on the bed asking for tips in cash. The last day of my stay the staff finally came in to make the bed and nothing else was done so clearly management does not enforce a well-maintained room. I had to take out the garbage everyday since no one came to pick it up. Seems like anyone could walk into the hotel or just walk around barefoot and no shirt (guy playing in the arcade area). Outdoor common areas should be better lit for safety given that the area is not the safest. Overall very disappointed that this Marriot Bonvoy hotel is so poorly managed and not cleaned to higher standards. This was my first time in Arizona and will definitely not be back at this hotel.

Not a bad place to stay if you’re in a bind, but don’t go in expecting too much. The room was fine, the linens were clean, the bathroom was clean, but the chair clearly wasn’t. The hallways are dingy and the elevator creaks. The A/C worked. The staff were friendly, but busy trying to bartend and check people in at the same time. The location is convenient, but very close to the frat row at ASU, so expect some noise and bustle. We didn’t spend much time there other than sleeping and getting ready, so it served its purpose.

Unexpected stay overnight was needed. So thankful it was only one. I never put reviews in, so it took a lot for me to say something bad here.

When I went into my first room, it had what looked like dried puke in the sink.

If that wasn’t bad enough, a giant cockroach crawled out of the opening of the elevator into the elevator when I went down to request a new room.

The second room was okay, but the AC controls didn’t work at all. The road noise was extremely loud while trying to sleep as well.

The staff was super friendly and there are fun things to do for kids such as foosball table, pool table, pinball machines, and a fun pool. Our initial room smelled like mildew and we had to change rooms. They were very accommodating. It’s a fun hotel, but it feels a little rundown. There was black stuff (hopefully not mold)in the corners of the shower and all the hanging lights in the bathroom and room were super dusty. We didn’t have hand soap or towels and when I called the front desk to have them send them up they never did. I had to ask the cleaning lady as we passed to please leave towels in our room. Overall, a good stay for the purpose, but the hotel itself could use some work. The staff totally made the stay!

Run down hotel nothing working nothing fixed in the days we were there from Tuesday to Friday morning . The flashing lights from the emergency lights were flashing the entire time of the stay, some rooms were flashing like a strobe light so if anybody had epilepsy that would’ve not worked out well. With zero warning or any signs of them trying to fix anything. The carpets walking down the hall to get to your rooms look like they have never been vacuumed the entire time the place has been open. it smelled like mold and wet walls and dirty water. Coming out of the elevator the morning we were leaving to fly home. There was vomit in the elevator that was not cleaned up and then coming out of the elevator on the first floor. There was vomit everywhere in the hall on the carpet we told them and they seemed shocked, which is alarming for the fact that how many hours has that vomit been sitting there. Every time we walked into the lobby every single employee was sitting at the bar in the chairs doing absolutely nothing. No dusting no cleaning. The pool is filthy. It didn’t look like it had been cleaned with pieces of palm tree leaves floating in the bottom of it. The only time we saw any kind of cleaning was room service and that was questionable. All in all I strongly recommend you not staying at this hotel and the department of whoever is in charge of making sure things are up-to-date really needs to look into this place because I guarantee they would be shut down immediately.

Room was neat with a cool vibe. Unfortunately when we arrived an alarm was going off in the room next door. They moved us but surprised they couldn’t just disable it. The next evening all the alarms went off for a few seconds and stopped but the alarm lights blinked all night long (hallway not our room). So that was weird but overall we liked the stay. Not the newest or fanciest hotel but quirky and fun.

Old and run down, not keeping up on maintenance

The Moxy is getting very run down. It’s evident they are not keeping up on maintenance at all. Toilet paper holder broken, shower handle broke off when turning on-among many other broken or just run down issues. The air conditioner was very squeaky and also turned on and off all night very loud despite running the “constant fan”. I literally got no sleep here. Also, traffic from rural road is very loud all night. And hallways dirty with dead cockroaches. The only positive was that staff were very nice and competent.
