Moxy San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

The position is absolutely central: the hotel is located in the GASLAMP quarter, the heart of San Diego downtown. The common spaces are comfortable and wide, richly and elegantly furnished with many large sofas; there is a bar 24/24 hours open at the entrance where you can get hot water for the night or whatever you need. Many elevators, very quickly, serve the floor. The hotel doesn’t have free parking but it has a valet parking service, a little bit expensive (65 dollars per day) but really comfortable with staff made by kind and polite guys. The room is large enough to receive two big luggages: it is furnished newly and is very clean; also the bathroom is new. The illumination has been thought accurately. But the added value for the hotel is the staff: during our stay (one night), we had a problem with the flight company, who cancelled our flight for New York just 7 hours before the departure. This situation caused many problems we have forced to find a speedy solution to: the staff helped us to manage the contact with the flight company and printed us all the documents requested for the new flight, which later have been decisive at the security control with the officer at the airport of San Diego. In particular, from the staff of the hotel, Maddy helped us without esitation.

property was cute, lots of restaurants, close to Petco stadium and night life around. HOWEVER, be aware there was A LOT of bums around. Hotel was very cute and Modern & Staff was great! Also Free welcome drink for each guest!

This was our second time staying there and it was even better than the first time! Luis, the manager checked us in and made us feel so welcome. He noticed it was my birthday month and gave me an extra two complementary drinks. The staff is wonderful. We found a little hidden gem in the hotel this time.

I already knew about Moxy hotels from my previous stay at the one in Times Square. I was here at this location for less than 24 hours and that (or the weekend) is the length of stay the Moxy is ideal for. There is only 3 hangers in the room an almost no bathroom counter space so it's definitely a room for yourself or a person you're extremely comfortable with! You also won't find an iron/ironing board in your room as the Moxy has its own room for this. You also won't find a shower cap, a luggage table, or even lotion! My room was very simplistic but modern, clean, and comfortable. I dropped my black sweatshirt on the floor and when I picked it up, not a trace of dirt or dust on it. Also, the shower tiles looked brand new they were so clean! A few cons were that the hot water takes forever in the shower (so long that I considered not taking one!) The deposit/incidental charge is $20 a night but they took $27!? Also, they do conserve energy by having the lights go out after about 10 minutes of no movement in the room. I was in the bathroom so no big deal. Just wave your arm and they come back on! LOL I did appreciate the security in the fact that you have to use your room key to use the elevator. I walked into the lobby late night towards the bar to redeem my free drink and was bombarded by the security asking me if I was a guest?! I showed him my room key and free drink coupon and he quickly eased up an welcomed me back. The bar is a happening spot with games like Jenga to play. The lobby was always clean and there is even a hidden speakeasy bar that I heard good things about. Moxy will continue to be high on my list when choosing hotel stays in the future!

The vibe is hip and relaxed yet still has very attentive service from the doormen to the receptionist and the bar staff. I thought the free drink at check in is a cool way to acclimate to the hotel. Check out the hand written messages on the mirrors inside the elevators. Let your curiosity guide you!😉
