The hotel as a whole is very nice. We got a king room. Loved that it had hard flooring and no carpet. However the only thing in the room other then the TV was the bed. No wardrobe just 3 clothes hangers hung on the wall. No clock. No microwave no coffee maker. No refrigerator . Most disappointing was no place at all to sit other then the toilet. So if you like to walk in and just lay down this room will work. But if you'd like a chair to relax in you will need to go down to the lobby. Very uncomfortable just sitting on the bed.

The hotel as a whole is nicely kept. But we were very disappointed in the king room. There are no chairs at all. The only thing besides a tv is the bed. The only place to actually sit is the toilet. No refrigerator no microwave no coffee pot. No clock. No wardrobe just 3 clothes hangers hanging on the wall. If all you want is to walk in and lay down then this will work. But if you want to actually relax....Walk over to the Hotel Indigo. Also $34 a night for parking. No breakfast.

The hotel was great. Our room was very clean and well decorated. The hotel building looked really cool and modern. the hotel bar was fun and had great options for drinks. The staff was very nice and we loved talking to the bartender. We didn't get to try the restaurant but the menu looked great. The one thing I would say is that the room was a little smaller than we were expecting and didn't have a table, It did not bother us though and should not keep you from staying here. The room was very cozy, comfortable, clean, and very unique. Moxy is very close to the capital, great restaurants, and fun things to do. My wife and I would highly recommend this property.

Cheap drinks

Your complementary drink consisted of seltzer with essence of cranberry. How about soda with real juice, and a top shelf vodka. Such a great hotel and such lousy service and lousy drink. I won't return. There's plenty of awesome hotels in Madison, WI.

Super cool space, so close to everything including downtown. Small rooms- but you have everything you need and everything is new, clean and comfortable. The restaurant in the hotel was amazing with an even better wine and drink menu(the food was excellent). Such a great stay!!
