We had such a great stay at the Moxy NYC Lower East Side! The hotel itself is amazing, and the views from the rooftop bar are absolutely beautiful.
The location was one of my favorite parts. It made getting around Manhattan so easy, especially with train stations nearby that can take you pretty much anywhere. You’re also close to so many popular and viral NYC spots you constantly see on TikTok. Little Italy and Chinatown are within walking distance, and even getting over to Brooklyn was only about a 20-minute drive for us with traffic. Overall, this location makes commuting and exploring the city extremely convenient.
I will say that the rooms are not insanely spacious, so if you’re traveling with a group, just keep that in mind. However, for a group that isn’t picky about sharing a tighter space, it works perfectly. There were three of us, and since we mainly used the room to rest, get ready, and head back out into the city, it was honestly great for what we needed.
We stayed here for my birthday, which made the trip even more special!
One thing I would mention is the rooftop bar. If you’re planning on going, there is a possibility that you may have to wait for a while, especially when they have private events going on. It seemed like priority was sometimes given to guests attending those events. In my opinion, the rooftop itself wasn’t necessarily worth a long wait, although the views are definitely beautiful.
What really made our stay stand out, though, was the staff. Everyone was incredibly nice, friendly, welcoming, and attentive. David Saavedra was amazing throughout our stay and went above and beyond to assist us. The bartenders were also wonderful!
I truly cannot say enough about how much I appreciated the hospitality here. I will gladly make the Moxy NYC Lower East Side my go-to hotel whenever I’m staying in New York City, and this experience honestly makes me want to stick with Moxy Hotels whenever I get the chance.
Overall, a five-star experience and such a memorable birthday stay! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
