We had a wonderful stay at the Moxy in Charleston! The front desk staff made us feel right at home. They were incredibly friendly, professional, and went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect during stay. The vibe was fun and energetic, and the service matched that energy with warmth and attentiveness. Our overall experience was fantastic! We'll definitely be back!

So, sorry if this is long but bear with me on this one. First person I met was Sam at the front desk. Sam is simply the best checkin experience you will have. I travel often and I wish her enthusiasm and charm could be duplicated. When you arrive you will pull into the building carport with goes thur the building and met with a valet with a smile, did not get his name but her was great. After that you will go to the sixth floor and meet Sam, (if she is working, Should Geta raise),,,,, she will check you in and give you local options for dining as well as how to get where you want to go. After that go to the room and get settled. Room was cute and clean, simple decor with an intentionality for simplicity and style. The room was small but adequate. Bed confortable and bathroom well done with glass doors and tile, so crapy bathtub fiberglass shells. After checking in came back down to the front desk with is connected to a great lobby area full of various seating options and work areas with power outlets and a bar., Bar has power outlet and the bartend that I had was Kendra and to say she is a delight is understated. Quality crafted contains and a warm personality as a companion. I can't wait to come back here again soon.

My favorite thing about this hotel besides, their beautiful rooftop is the coffee shop that you can go to literally two minute walk away. Blum Coffee has your reasonably priced bottles of wine and terrific coffee, macha, chai and hot tea. Also, when I'm staying in this hotel for business matters the best place to work with Wifi for customers is also there. Staying at the Moxy Hotel is always a five star experience.

I had an excellent experience at the front desk thanks to Sam. She was incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and efficient, and she helped me quickly sort out an issue with my reservations. Sam made the entire process seamless and stress-free, and her positive attitude truly stood out. She is a wonderful representative of Marriott and made my stay even better. The rooms are on the smaller side, but they are very clean, and the bathroom is spacious. The hotel is located about a mile from the more popular parts of King Street, which was convenient and manageable. Thank you Sam for helping us start our trip out on a high note!

We had an amazing stay! The room was great, and the staff truly made the experience unforgettable. Charlene and Anna at the bar were absolutely amazing—they went above and beyond and made our stay 10x better. If they take care of you, you’ll get the full Moxy experience and truly feel at home. Highly recommend!

I had made the mistake of reading recent reviews & lowering my expectations. I had a lovely stay at this hotel at all points from the warm welcome with the valet when I arrived, the greeting as I checked in, the complimentary beverage from the bar, great night’s sleep, easy checkout, and a great send off when the valet returned my car to me. The room was perfect for my one night. The little touches mean everything from the art in the room (which I pulled one to put in my office- thanks, Moxy!), decor (loved the pastel lighting with one of the lamps by the bed, the cool Marset lamp, the pink hair dryer with attachment, the steamer, and even a dark washcloth to remove makeup! I enjoyed the minimalist approach and felt welcomed and relaxed during my stay. The decor was exquisite and elegant. I loved the pink holiday tree on the first floor and the seating on the 6th floor. Had my family been with me on this trip, one of them would have loved the pink lemonade and goldfish for snacking on the 6th floor, too. Speaking of all of the attention to detail- make sure you take time to use the phone in your room, especially for the bedtime stories option. Nicely done, Moxy! I’ll be back again. Oh - if you have trouble sleeping, consider bringing a white noise machine.

We stayed at the Moxy Hotel in Charleston for our 13-year anniversary and had an incredible experience. I called ahead to set up a surprise in the room for my husband, and the receptionist was genuinely excited to help and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfectly ready before we arrived. Not only did they do a beautiful setup with rose petals, champagne, and candlelight, but they also wrote a personalized note from Jen, which made it even more special. Everyone we interacted with was extremely kind and welcoming. The vibe of the hotel was immaculate — fun, modern, and thoughtfully designed. It was also a short, easy walk (about 15 minutes) to Uptown Social on King Street, surrounded by great restaurants and nightlife. They should absolutely make more hotels with this exact structure and energy. Highly recommend. The only thing I can recommend even though we were staying during an Arctic storm happening a few hours away the heater in the room does not do much to keep you warm. That being said we were in the corner window room so we understand why it was having a hard time keeping up

Stayed here for business while in Charleston and I can say that the location was just fantastic on meeting st. We preferred to go down the st to Blum Coffee and Wine Bar just because the space was huge inside and quite suitable for business meetings and gettibg free wifi while sipping on a latte or wine. Outlets and parking there are available. Moxys rooftop and interior decor is beautiful. 5 stars for this beloved hotel of ours.
