Moxy Columbia Downtown

10/10 Excellent
"I had an amazing stay at The Moxy. The location is perfect, with plenty of restaurants, bars, and dessert spots within walking distance, or you can just hang out at the hotel bar or grab food from the taco bus. The staff was great, the rooms were clean, the beds were comfy, and I had a nice view. You do have to pay for valet parking, but it's totally worth it."
