Great for being a tourist, not so great for work or training. I think for the price, The Moxy is a great value. It gives you a place to sleep and shower. The little touches of tech and function almost hit the mark. Almost.
Win's:
-USB ports on outlets.
-Bluetooth Soundbar under TV for music in the morning(or whenever)
-Great waterfall shower head
-Chromecast on TV
-Hooks on walls are a great compromise for not having a closet.
Fails:
-Bluetooth soundbar under the TV isn't linked to the TV. At least mine wasn't. How much does a 2' optical cable cost?
-Chromecast on the TV doesn't register as an activity so the TV shuts off due to inactivity. Meaning in the middle of whatever you were watching, the TV shuts off and you can't stop it.
-Bunkbed style setup. My room wasn't ready so I got moved to a queen room with a bunk. I figured no problem, I'm here for work. The problem is the bunk bed structure creaked non stop. Even when I was standing next to it. Made getting to sleep a minor challenge.
-NO FRIDGE. This is probably documented someplace and not the reason of a dropped star. But for someone that was unfortunately here for work, not having a place to store a cold drink was a rough experience.
All in all, I think the creaking was a one off. I doubt all the rooms do it. The chromecast issue isn't a problem if you aren't in the room. Neither is the no fridge. So the Moxy is a GREAT place to stay if you are vacationing. Just not so great if you are working. But it fit in the per diem rate, so... yeah.
