Moxy Chicago Downtown

Tl;dr: If you’re traveling solo or with your life partner, this review is not for you. Otherwise, read on. Why? The hotel as not bathroom 'rooms'. Spaces? yes. Privacy? no. I’ve been to Moxy Hotels in Athens and NYC. Never have I been in a hotel where I felt more ripped off. Especially for a Marriott property. The problem: the smart designers took away the concept of ‘bathroom’. If you’re traveling solo or as an intimate couple, please ignore this review. But if you’re a family booking two queen beds for parents and kid(s) or as friends - that small lack of a bathroom will be an issue. You see, there is no privacy. A toilet cubby. A shower stall. But no room for a parent to dress up in NOT in front of their child. A bathroom. Not sure that’s a lot to ask. Please see the photos in my review if you need to get the drift. The hotel website doesn’t claim rooms offer privacy, but it doesn’t claim they do. It’s something you expect whether you go to Motel 6, Motel 8, Hiltons, shmiltons, and normally boutique hotels. So when the reception manager told me that’s how Moxy hotels are, I felt a bit indignant. She did move us to a room, eventually with (drum roll) A CURTAIN. But most rooms appear to lack one. Needless to say, no drawers or cabinets. You get hangers, though. So kind. Due to a crazy busy weekend for Chicago I paid $400 (!!!) per night. And no bathroom. Beds are comfy, very loud DJ in the lobby at night, WiFi is OK. No privacy. You do you.

Super cute and fun place. Very clean. Friendly staff.

Had a wonderful stay. Will definitely be back
