The hype
Travelers love the style and rooftop scene but consistently complain about the tiny rooms and lack of privacy.
Moxy Nyc Times Square
$180-350/ notte
Prenota se You want a high-energy crash pad with a killer rooftop bar and don't mind sacrificing privacy for vibes.
Perché piace così tanto
- Magic Hour rooftop bar is a legitimate NYC nightlife destination
- Camping-style 'Stash Rooms' on every floor let you grab extra towels and toiletries without calling the desk
- Location is dead-center for transit (Penn Station) and Broadway theaters
In sintesi: It’s basically an upscale hostel for adults who plan to be out until 4 AM.
Recensito da @thestyleandfitnesswitheve: I stayed here for a girls' trip and the vibe was immaculate. The room is compact but designed so well—we loved the industrial chic look. But the real highlight? That rooftop. Sipping cocktails under the giant flowers at Magic Hour was the main character moment I needed.
Cosa hanno detto gli ospiti che hanno soggiornato qui
Reality check
If you are traveling with a friend you aren't *extremely* comfortable with, the see-through bathroom door will be a nightmare.
- You are a solo traveler or couple who parties hard
- You prioritize a cool lobby scene over room size
- You pack light and just need a bed near Penn Station
Pulizia e manutenzione
7
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, but high turnover means under-bed dust is common.
- Bathroom hygiene: Grout is usually clean, but the open shower design leads to standing water and potential mildew smells if not dried.
- Maintenance: Modern build means less 'wear and tear' than older NYC hotels, but elevator buttons and hallway carpets see heavy traffic.
- Linens & towels: Standard Marriott quality—clean and crisp, though towels can feel small.
- Odors & scents: Lobby is heavily scented with Moxy's signature perfume; rooms are generally neutral unless near the trash room.

Genio delle camere
Migliori scelte
- Corner King rooms for slightly more floor space and dual-aspect windows
- Lower floors (below 10) to avoid the direct vibration from the rooftop club
Camere da evitare
- Rooms near the elevator banks (high foot traffic noise)
- Upper floors on weekends if you plan to sleep before 2 AM
Genio delle richieste camera – copia e incolla
“I am a light sleeper and would appreciate a room on a lower floor, as far from the elevators and the rooftop bar noise as possible. A corner room would be amazing if available.”
FAQ e consigli nascosti
Tutto ciò che vuoi davvero sapere prima di prenotare.
Is the rooftop bar free for guests?
You get priority access, but you still have to pay for drinks and food. It gets very crowded with non-guests.
Can I store my luggage before check-in?
Yes, the 'crew' in the lobby can store bags, usually for free or a small tip, but space is tight.
Do the windows open?
No, windows are sealed shut.
Is there a fridge in the room?
No, standard rooms do not have fridges. You can sometimes find a communal one in the hallway Stash Room.
How bad is the bathroom privacy really?
It's bad. The door is frosted glass, slides (often with gaps), and doesn't lock. You can see silhouettes and hear everything.
Is it good for families?
Generally no. The rooms are too small for cribs/extra gear, and the vibe is very adult/party-centric.
Suggerimenti degli Insider
- ✨
Check the 'Stash Room' down the hall for extra towels, toiletries, and even an iron—no need to call housekeeping.
- ✨
The $30 destination fee includes a daily $20 credit—grab breakfast at the lobby pop-up to maximize it.
- ✨
Skip the hotel breakfast if you're in a rush; the line at the lobby cafe moves slowly.
5 cose da sapere prima di partire
💡The sink is often located in the hallway, not inside the bathroom.
💡The 'closet' is just a peg wall with a couple of hangers—live out of your suitcase.
💡The shower water pressure is surprisingly good, even if the design floods the floor.
💡You might have to wait 10+ minutes for an elevator on Friday/Saturday nights.
💡The room lighting is dim and moody—great for dates, terrible for applying makeup.
