What is the MOXY Signature Twin Room like?
Guest room entrance door.
The door had a U-shaped lock.
The bathroom was on the left.
There was a full length mirror next to the bathroom.
There were many objects hanging on the wall.
A big pillar in front of the bathroom.
The room used grey and pink as an accent. The desk and chairs hanging on the wall made the room stylish.
The mattress for the bed was “Simmons.” There were 2 pillows prepared per person and I had a good nights sleep.
There was a table between the beds with a phone, alarm clock, tissue and a TV remote. There was also an outlet and a USB port which was convenient for charging electronic devices.

The room seen from the window.
I could see Sakaisuji, one of the main roads in Osaka. There was a fair amount of traffic on weekdays, but it was quiet on weekends. There was a pharmacy and a Lawson at the corner of the intersection. Some rooms do not have a window, so it may be suitable for those only staying to get some sleep.

Restaurants and shops in the hotel
I had breakfast at the “Moxy Bar & Lounge.”
You can sit anywhere, and even bring your food to the lobby and sit on the sofa. However, it was hard to eat at a low table.
Due to the Corona outbreak, what is normally a buffet style breakfast was served as a set. You can choose between an A set (panini) or a B set (western food). I ordered the B set. The price is normally 1300 yen, but it was 1000 yen for the time being.
There was a shop next to “Moxy Bar & Lounge” selling drinks, fruit, alcohol, snacks and so on.

Hotel Surroundings
The hotel is located in a business district, so there were many office workers on the streets on weekdays, but it was quiet on weekends. There were convenience stores and drug stores nearby which was convenient. Also, it’s easy to access from both Kitahama Station of Sakaisuji Line and Sakaisuji-Honmachi Station, so it would be easy to go to Umeda, Shinsaibashi, Universal Studios and Kaiyukan. Kitahama Station Exit 6 is the closest exsit, but Exit 5 is a commercial facility called Kitahama Tower, and there is a supermarket, drugstore, restaurant and gym in the basement.
There was a pharmacy and a Lawson on the main street.
There is a supermarket in the basement of Exit 5 at Kitahama Subway Station.

Staff and Guests
The staff were all very friendly and polite. The illustrations were drawn on the acrylic plate on the front, and the ink of the ballpoint pen for signing was purple.
I was staying on a weekend, so there were many businessmen and couples. I did not see any children. Originally, many foreign tourists staying here, but die to the Corona outbreak I did not see any guests form overseas.

Access
Since Kitahama Subway Station and Keihan Kitahama Station are connected underground, it is convenient to be able to move around without going out on a hot or cold day. There is an elevator at the nearest exit 6, so you can carry heavy luggage with you. Exit 5 has an escalator inside the Kitahama Tower. In addition, Sakaisuji Honmachi Station and Honmachi Station are connected underground, so it is convenient to move around. If you are going to Umeda or Namba, I think it’s close to Honmachi by walking the underpass from Honmachi. There are many restaurants that businessmen go to for lunch, so there are many choices for food. Sumitomo Mitsui Bank Osaka Central Branch on Kitahama, Resona Bank Osaka Head Office on the south side of the hotel, and Mitsubishi UFJ Bank Kawaramachi Branch across from the hotel, I thought it was truly a financial district.
Udon restaurant “Trutontan Honmachiro” near the hotel.

Summary
The guest room corridors was like those at a school and the fork and soup made of aluminum was interesting because it fit the playful concept of MOXY. However, since it is a Marriott group, Simmons’s bed, Corona’s new business style is in line with the Marriott group, and it is well protected. In the evening, the staff turned into DJs, playing their favorite music and turned the lobby into a music bar. I can imagine many foreign tourists enjoying them selves here while drinking sake.
