    Funky and great use of space Wasn’t there long enough!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Staff were very friendly and so accommodating. Very genuine people who care. Enjoyed my time.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The location and the hotel pool, lounge and kitchen area were fantastic. The room was advertised (both on booking.com and the Marriott website) for 3 people. The description indicated a King Bed and a Murphy bed. There were no pictures or description of the Murphy bed. We assumed it was a typical Murphy that pulled out into the floor. It turned out that the Murphy bed was a bunk bed over the King Bed. It was not long enough to fit a person who was 5’ 6”. The ladder to get up kept slipping and was unstable. It had thin, metal rods and was very difficult to climb. It was uncomfortable and dangerous, even if it had been a child. There is also a leak in the shower that drips all night due to the AC setup. I went over all of this with the administrator, who was dismissive…and only after several conversations gave us $170 off the room, which didn’t make a dent in the $750/night stay. NO PICTURES, NO DESCRIPTION, DANGEROUS sleeping setup, and unfortunate, because the hotel facilities and location were excellent.

    The rooms were tiny and the bathroom was a lil awkward.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Will come back!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Aggressive and intimidating staff member

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    This hotel basically sits on a freeway. Are you here is the roar of the cars. Also, the design of the bathroom is such that you cannot sit on the toilet and have the shower door closed. Also, there’s no headboard just two pillows propped up against the wall that fall on your head while you’re sleeping. There is also no dresser or closet. This is way overpriced for what it is.

    Moxy had all the great amenities we were looking for in a hotel. Great location, friendly staff, and clean rooms. Can’t wait to come back.

    Great place

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Short walking distance to everything we wanted to do in the Funk Zone and at the beach. No freeway noise or train noise in the rooms we booked. Friendly staff. No mini-fridge in the rooms.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    I enjoyed the location and how everything was within walking distance. The staff was amazing, and the bartender made the best drinks I had that day. The room was perfect and the type of room i look for when i am looking to book a room. Best part was check out being at noon. n/a.

    Nuestra estadía en el Hotel Moxy fue excelente. Nos encantó el ambiente del lugar; el cuarto estaba muy limpio, organizado y cómodo. Además, el hotel está excelentemente ubicado, a corta distancia de todo y especialmente del Funk Zone, con una gran variedad de cafés, restaurantes, breweries y wine tasting bars. Sin duda, lo que más destacamos fue la actitud y la atención del personal: siempre amables, atentos y con muy buena disposición. ¡Definitivamente lo recomendaríamos y volveríamos!

    Love this place. Will definitely be back. Close to many cool things.

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    Very good

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    Staff was more than accommodating, Room was clean and comfortable, spent time in the eclectic lobby playing games with other quests.

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    For us this hotel was all about the location, perfect for spending time in the Funk Zone. We enjoyed the heated pool, and our (albeit small) patio for a glass of wine at sunset. The rooms are small but decorated cute, the staff is friendly and attentive.

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    Great property, rooms are a little quirky but facility is great overall and the location is perfect.

  • Engine customer May 2025

    Thedesk staff was incredibly rude. My colleagues and I were sitting for a chat in the lobby and the front desk person literally kicked us out and said that the public spaces closed at 11pm. I've never hear dof such a thing.

  • Engine customer May 2025

    Great cool boutique hotel. Very clean. It is next to the freeway but I found the cars passing soothing.

  • Engine customer Apr 2025

    The staff was incredibly friendly and professional, making check-in a breeze. I loved the unique vibe of the hotel. The check-in area is a bar and the lobby doubles as a game room. There’s also a commercial fridge, microwave, and complimentary coffee, tea, and even dog treats for all guests, which I thought was a nice touch. Overall, Moxy was a great choice for my stay and if I ever visit Santa Barbara again, I'm definitely staying here.
