Wish me luck....
Need to be in MXP region early on 4th September; so I've booked a night for the 3rd.. At 75 I think it's very good value.
(Fully expecting to have to rebook elsewhere, but thought it was worth "taking a chance")

Saw this on Marriott website:

Moxy Milan Italy
A hat tip to protox88 for posting this info (see below) in the promotional codes thread. Thought I'd start a new thread for this property as we've got some FTers staying at it soon & post the info here. Plus they'll be able to do their trip reports in this property specific thread, which will make it easier for those doing a search.
"Just FYI - the promo code 'PRO' works for Moxy Milan Airport - for stays until Oct 31st (inclusive). Standard Queen Room, Guest room, 1 Queen goes from 67 EUR to 55 EUR."
The rate rules say: "Opening Promotion MOXY Hotels, includes wireless Internet", although under room details it says that wireless internet is complimentary anyway.
The property is a Category 2. Has 10 suites.
It's supposedly walking distance to Terminal 2 at the airport, and there's a free 24-hr shuttle from Terminal 1.
Pets are allowed up to 22 pounds (no idea if there is a surcharge).
Cheers.

@ a Cat 2 solid value. Wonder how long this will hold- looking at Italy maybe next summer.

Looking forward to seeing what the "Moxy Concept" is like - perhaps this hotel will change my view (although the geography is challenging for anything other than an "airport stay")

I don't think I'd recommend any of the main stream Marriotts in Northern Italy for a vacation...

When stayed at the Sheraton MXP (now I have more option), I went to Milan daily by train. Hope Moxy is as good as Sheraton MXP.

I think you mean access to the city? If so, no worry. The airport express train takes you to Cadorna Station. Walking distance to city center from there.

Personally I think airport hotels are better for overnight airport stay for either late arrival or early flight. Love the Sheraton MXP for that purpose as it is attached to the terminal.

I would certainly not stay at (remote) MXP for visiting Milan.
I usually stay at the very good Crowne Plaza Milan City, which is next a metro station, and very convenient.

Journey time from MXP to Cadorna 30 minutes.
BTW, at Cadorna, there 2 metro lines and a bunch of trams for connecting to where ever.
Next time, I think I will give Moxy a try.

Greetings!
Been here 30 mins, first thoughts/impressions...
I arrived into T1 MXP
No obvious signs for the shuttle (hardly a surprise, T1 shopping area is being renovated), but as I was picking up a hire car, Avis here I come...
Followed the signs for T2 - just follow the signs - keep the faith!
Moxy is on your left as you enter the T2
The hotel has NO PARKING, I dumped my car in the P5 parking area over the street from the hotel (no idea of cost, guess I'll find out tomorrow)
All (4) staff spoke excellent English ^
Friendly check in, thanks for being a platinum member - hotel opened on time, Noon Monday
No mention of Plat arrival gift (I'm not that bothered), breakfast was explained as a "grab & go" concept - again "you have not booked a breakfast rate"
Lobby/breakfast area is bright & attractive - 4 areas..from "loud & vibrant" to "quiet zone"
Amused by the communal breakfast table - definitely a Scandinavian influence
Room was small & functional - better than you'd get in an Ibis; but you get the idea..
Time to head to the bar for a glass of most excellent Moretti Birra...
