Moxy Oakland Uptown

Fair stay, but wouldn’t go...

Liked: Comfortable bed and nice to have blackout curtains. Slept well there.
Disliked: No tables or counters in the room. The one table-like surface had an angle to it and everything would slide off. In the bathroom had to stack all my stuff on the toilet. Rooms extremely small. Location did not feel safe at all; vast homelessness and many destroyed vehicles on the block. Security guard was helpful.

Funky vibe hotel in a...

Liked: I liked the decor and style, good vibe. I liked the beds and it was pretty quiet for a street view room. I didn't use it, but appreciated that there was a mini refrigerator in the room.
Disliked: I thought the staff could be more professional and accommodating. For instance, I asked for early check-in on my res. notes, but when I got there nothing was ready. That's fine, but I asked her to call us when one was ready and she said she was giving out rooms first come, first served, so we had to stick around. Also, there is a bar right there in her shared space. We asked for a drink and she said it didn't open until later. However, there was a small snack area in the lobby where we noticed beers, grabbed one and said "can we sit at the bar and have this?" When she said yes, we asked for a glass and she handed me a plastic cup. A glass cup would have been nicer.

Very good

I like the Moxy hotels...

Liked: I really liked the person working the evening of 7/19/25, she was very helpful when I had issues with the shower in my room. I like this place, I've stayed here before, its hip, close to where I go for music, has a bar and the rooms are spotless. I'm giving them a "good" rating because of the points listed above.
Disliked: I booked a Bayview room and I had a city blight view, there is no Bayview at this hotel it is a listing error, I requested an early check in 6 days before my arrival and never heard from the property, Upon check-in I was not given my two free drink tickets that has been included in every Moxy stay I have had previously, once I checked in my shower did not work at all, so I had to move rooms, my television did not get all the channels so I could not watch a sporting event Sunday morning that was part of my intended itinerary... other guest were compensated for this issue I was not, the bar closed early due to lack of personnel on Saturday and Sunday night, like 8:00 early... I only like to stay places with a bar so I can relax a bit outside of my room before I turn in for the night... in the one years' time since my last stay here the property looks a little tired and the common areas could use a good clean and a spruce up... I love Oakland but it's a challenging city and on my previous stays the Moxy offered a needed respite from the chaos and hustle of the city, not so much this time around.

Superb

Very good

Pleasant

Liked: The staff was wonderful and friendly!
Disliked: The room was small. The air conditioner started making this screeching noise early in the morning on Friday and did it every time it came on. It would have been nice to have a complimentary breakfast in the morning since there wasn't a lot to choose from in the area. Maybe a microwave?
