Moxy St. Petersburg Downtown

Mackenzie was the best! She was super knowledgeable and friendly checking us in. Her customer service was 10/10! The Moxy hotel is such a vibe. Their food and drink menu downstairs at the Sparrow was great, plus they’re open until 11 pm. We will definitely be back.

- Great experience from check-in to check-out. The staff accommodated an early check in and an early check-out. Hotel was designed for a relaxed, elevated stay. Fancy without a pretentious feel. Rooftop pool is perfect and prices at the bar are reasonable. Will def be back! Kalyn was especially helpful at checkin, and the valet service was welcoming and speedy.

This hotel is charming and well-situated. I appreciate the vibrant colors and the trendy furniture in the lobby, which features board games and upbeat music. 1. PARKING: Be mindful. This area can get busy, so consider dropping off your belongings, checking in, and then finding parking. Unfortunately, the parking situation is quite challenging. After a 3.5-hour drive from Jacksonville, I contemplated valet parking. However, I realized self-parking makes more sense since you'll likely be in and out of the hotel exploring dining and activities. Though valet has a base fee, each time you retrieve your car, you'll need to tip (please be considerate and tip appropriately!). I really don't want to incur extra parking costs before even enjoying the hotel amenities. If there had been a nearby city or public parking lot, that would have been preferable. Despite the valet’s reluctance to direct us to self-parking, we eventually discovered it. There were no clear markings or signs indicating it was associated with the hotel. Fortunately, we secured the last spot since we checked in late in the day. Thank goodness for that! 2. Arrival: The check-in experience was delightful. Arriving in the evening meant the rooftop bar was just beginning its evening service with food and music. The hotel has a separate line and elevator for guests, a detail I appreciate for enhancing guest experience and minimizing crowd mingling. 3. OUR ROOM: I booked the top-tier room featuring a King Bed with a Balcony. To my surprise, it was pretty small. There was no fridge, the pillows were uncomfortable, and the bed felt flat and lackluster. We were warned about the music from the rooftop near our room, which was accurate. The bathroom was decent, and I loved the stylish fixtures. We brought our own bathroom soaps, but the hotel soap took ages to rinse off my hands. The balcony overlooked the parking lot, which makes paying extra for that view questionable; it also made the room feel smaller. Upon returning from the balcony, I noticed a stain resembling blood, which was unsettling. The room offered a small desk and a tiny space for your phone and alarm clock, while clothing drawers were located beneath the bed. It’s a platform bed design with drawers and luggage space underneath, which I found a bit peculiar and cramped. If bending over isn't your thing, this setup might be bothersome, but I thought it was manageable. Overall, the room felt somewhat cramped. 4. POOL: The rooftop pool area is beautiful; it’s destined to be a popular summer spot on Central Ave. However, the daybeds seemed a little worn and could use some cleaning, especially where heads rest on the furniture. The pool itself is charming! It's unfortunate, given that the hotel has recently opened, emphasizing the importance of maintenance. 5. COFFEE: In the morning, when we went for coffee, the staff at the coffee shop lacked good customer service. For example, as I pulled out cash to tip while ordering, the cashie

Extremely disappointing, especially for couples who have stayed in all types of Marriott brand properties. This hotel failed in its room design, the implementation of basic services and customer service. Our room, a king double, felt like it was designed by someone who didn't stay in hotel rooms or didn't want people to stay in their hotel room. It was among the smallest rooms that I have stayed in, outside of NYC. There's maybe a foot and a half on either side of the bed. No closet, only hooks on the wall. Only one usable storage drawer under the bed (another drawer has a safe). Other than a TV and a phone, there are no amenities in the room. There are jail cells that are more commodious. The bathroom is a decent size, but we didn't have soap or wash cloths to use with the sink. The water pressure for the handheld shower was weak. The hotel lobby is loud. Music is playing all the time. Hard to have a comfortable conversation. Only positive is they offer an included drink at the bar, even though the free drink options are limited. For two couples in their 70's, we certainly were not among the apparent target demo for this chain. A "hip" and loud bar was on the roof. We peeked in to that bar on our way to the rooftop pool. All featured loud music. Nothing in this hotel is relaxing. We won't be coming back.

Great location! Indoor/outdoor bar Helena was a fantastic bartender. Will definitely be back! We had drinks and food for the Super Bowl.It was our first time at this moxy location. We have stay at the moxy location in New York all the time and are excited to have a st.pete location now!

The Moxy Hotel in St. Pete is a great spot. The rooms are nice, the pool area is perfect for relaxing, and the whole place has great vibes. McKenzie at the front desk was friendly and helpful. The location is also ideal, making it easy to explore the city. Would definitely stay here again!
