Rooms are always great. My husband and I like the size for just us 2. Only issue is they stopped leaving wash cloths/face towels in the rooms. You can ask and they will supply upon request. Well we slept there 2 nights and called multiple times, but were always told they were being washed and they would send them when they were done. Never got one. I don’t expect a lot because it’s small and affordable, but even the most basic motel has towels you can use to wash your face. This isn’t something that would stop us from booking again, but it’s the first and only disappointment we had experienced there in all of the times that we’ve went to their various properties.

Clean rooms and helpful staff! Easy check in and checkout, with the front desk staff being willing to hold our bags post-check out after our flight got delayed so we could continue exploring the city. The hotel is located in a safe area where I (23F) felt safe walking in at night with my boyfriend. Many restaurants within a short walking distance, and the Space Needle was visible from the hotel. I will say that compared to the Chicago CitizenM, this hotel’s gym was smaller. Also, it didn’t have its complimentary amenities accessible/advertised unless you asked for a specific item, upon which they’d provide it without showing what else they offer. There is also no restroom in the lobby, only two all gender restrooms in the basement where it is completely dark until the motion sensor lights turn on - even then, it’s a little spooky! Overall, I love Citizenm and this specific location. I wouldn’t recommend it for families or to someone my parents’ ages or older due to the room size (smaller!) and the modern, techy room for which a provided iPad controls all the lights, temperature, curtains, and other settings. Absolutely recommend it for young adults though.
