What Moxy does have instead of a lounge is reasonably priced "help yourself" type food which can be microwaved (soups, sandwiches, noodles, etc.) as well as a home-made style "pot luck" dish of the day.

the room was tiny but i didn't expect much given that this is a moxy in nyc....you get a token for a free drink at the bar....the menu at the hotel has been created by a cousin of mine so while i may be biased, the food was really good....
the atmosphere in the hotel is pretty lively & the lobby area turns into a bar at night with a dj playing some good tunes (i think the dj is only there a few days a week)....
i typically stay at either the four points or the millennium hilton when i need to be in this area but if the price is right then i wouldn't hesitate to stay at the moxy downtown again....

but the last time i was in nyc during freezing temperatures & my client's office was less than a minute away from the moxy as compared to a 5-7 minute walk from the hilton....so i picked the moxy....
also, it depends on whether you are looking for marriott or hilton credit....the moxy would also be often cheaper than the hilton....so i guess all these factors come into consideration....

Just stayed at this Moxy over the weekend. Location was great, close to the World Trade Center and awesome restaurants in West Village. The 3rd floor lobby is pretty cool, with a lot of locals working over a cup of coffee during the day and people having a drink at the bar and playing the games (shuffleboard and skeeball) at night. The room itself was small, but that was expected for NYC. I liked the little touches around the room (buttons to open/close shade, different light strength, USB charger ports). We also had a great view of the Brooklyn Bridge. I liked the style of the bathroom and it was very practical.

the location for both properties is great but the midtown property is more touristy....its far enough from times square so that you are not surrounded by a zoo of people but close enough to get the feel of the area....

Spent one night burning off a soon to expire cat 1-4 certificate. Did not go in with very high expectations, but ended up rather liking the hotel. Thought the Moxy bar/living room/game area was pleasant (not an annoying hip scene). The hotel had issues creating room keys, so had to wait a while... but they comped some drinks... so enjoyed the wait. Had room 704 which had no view to speak of (bit disappointing as a Platinum guest), but it was at the end of the hall, so was a little larger. Room still small, but pleasant design with a few high end touches. Certainly not a Ritz-Carlton bed, but still reasonabley comfortable. Pretty nice bathroom with decent toiletries and towels, but poor shower pressure 
Only problem with with the room was poor sound insulation. Room doors all click shut loudly and you will hear your neighbors coming and going. Exterior windows also did not seem very good... there was constant construction noise Late into the Night. Did not have a problem hearing neighbors through walls, but with TV and B&O speakers mounted directly on the wall would not be surprised if this is a problem with some rooms or neighbors.
I think I would consider returning here in the future... the poor sound insulation does give me pause however.

I stayed here beginning of Nov before the party and it was fine except for the fact that when I first checked in I managed to wind up in a room that had not had it's window shade installed. I was told they'd call me to place me in a different room and after an hour plus and a few disappointing tries on the phone (hold, no answer x 3) I had to march down and crankily demand the new room in person (they told me they thought I was going to come down, which was not what had been previously communicated at all)
bar also was not in operation at that point.
