I will be there in a month so will report back on the hotel. I purposefully booked the larger room b/c, yes, Moxys are generally crap and I'm only staying in them if (a) everything else Marriott/Hyatt/Hilton is very expensive (happened couple of times in London) or (b) it's the only Marriott and there is no Hilton/Hyatt. Scandinavia and Norway especially is pretty bad when it comes to the supply of the big three hotels. Norway has 0 Hiltons, 2 Marriotts and 2 Hyatts (through SLH). I'm in Bergen at least once a year (or at least I was pre-Covid). If you have Hyatt points or can transfer then Opus 16 in Bergen is pretty nice but availability can be tricky. From non-big three hotels (again all pre-Covid) I really liked Thon Rosenkrantz and Clairon Admiral. FWIW, if you're sightseeing AirBnB that is not so central might not be crazy b/c there is really not much to do in Bergen (max 2 days) but there is really nice nature outside. So I'd do AirBnB in one of the suburbs where you can park the rental car and just go from there. Public transit in Bergen is excellent via busses and tram so it's relatively easy to get to downtown w/o a car.
