Since I first visited a Moxy brand hotel a few years ago in NYC, I've loved it. To the point where when I've visited other comparable hotels in NYC I was VERY surprised by the quality in comparison. A big thing for me when I visit a hotel and especially in NYC is cleanliness and Moxy has done a great job of meeting my expectations (in ways that other hotels haven't).
The Moxy Brand, and particularly Moxy Chelsea is now my go to whenever I'm in NYC. From the superb customer service (most recently with Leslie at the front desk, but also everyone I've interacted with from the front desk to the dining areas), to the fact that I don't have to leave the hotel for a good meal or a good time; between the lobby bar (I always get the steak frites, which are chef's kiss!) and the cafe d'Avignon pop up next door, Moxy Chelsea has you covered. Pro tip: you get a $30 daily credit which is perfect for use on your meals (as they can be a bit pricey).
What the rooms lack in space, they make up for in great use of space. From pegs on the wall for you to hang your items, to drop down tables and its industrial design, Moxy has the art of space on lock. Not to mention the floor to ceiling windows and city views?! My favorite!
This visit, a friend and I traveled together and were comfortable in the shared King room which featured a sink/mirror area within the room and the toilet and shower behind 2 sliding doors. It was her first experience at Moxy Chelsea and she enjoyed it! Another tip: if you plan to share a hotel room here, it's best to travel with people you are close to and don't mind being in close proximity with. The walls that surround the shower (at least in the King room we stayed in) are a bit see through and you can see into it from the bed.
If you're a person that has an affinity for great design, doesn't mind staying within a smaller footprint, loves great views and not having to leave the premises to have your needs met, the Moxy Chelsea is the place for you! It's located in the Chelsea neighborhood, surrounded by lots of plant shops and everything you need to enjoy your stay.
