About this place Moxy Houston Downtown

Moxy Houston Downtown is a mainstream Marriott hotel on Main Street, listed as gay-friendly. It is not a gay hotel. The Moxy format means small, efficient rooms, check-in at the bar and a lobby that doubles as a social space, aimed at younger travellers on a budget. Its Google rating is mediocre, so read recent reviews before booking. The METRORail red line runs along Main Street, which helps. Houston's gay bars are mostly in Montrose, a few kilometres south-west, so plan on a taxi or ride-hailing for nights out. Downtown itself is quiet outside office hours and event nights.

Features

Gay-friendly (straight venue) Air conditioning Card payments accepted WiFi Year-round

I came into town for a meeting and a small getaway, and wow… I truly enjoyed my stay at The Moxy. The customer service was AMAZINGGGG from the moment I arrived, especially after such a long day of traveling. A special shoutout to Sam…. Girlie your energy is unmatched! Absolutely loved your hair and your hospitality made the experience even better. Customer service like yours makes people want to come back. Also shout out to the DJ for setting the vibe, and the complimentary drink was definitely a bonus and super appreciated. Thank you for an amazing stay in H-Town. I will definitely be back next trip!

Had I read the reviews, we would saved ourselves the trouble. Small rooms, loud all night long, the club next door, the train/bus, walls are paper thin, you can hear EVERYTHING. Only thing we liked was the location but lots of homeless people and parking is not easy, you're between two buildings.

We had a great stay at Moxy Hotels. The atmosphere was modern, fun, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The highlight of the experience was definitely Giselle at the bar. She provided outstanding customer service, had an amazing personality, and made everyone feel comfortable and taken care of. Her drinks were excellent, and her energy really added to the overall vibe of the hotel. The staff overall was friendly, the hotel was clean, and the experience exceeded expectations. Giselle truly stood out and made our visit memorable. We will definitely be back. 5 stars.

Awesome place to mingle, relax, and have a few drinks. The atmosphere and people there are wonderful. Their bartender Gigi is awesome and amazing. Very knowledgeable when it comes to making drinks and making sure the drink is what you expected. It to be. So if you’re ever in Moxies or decide to stop and have a drink. Ask for Gigi, you will not regret it.
