Got in after hours and was worried that we would have a hard time getting in. no problem for the self check in, and bar was still open when we go there. For a last minute booking and a 1st time getaway this was fun and intimate. i was nervous the smaller untraditional style would shock my partner, but they were stunned and looked at it as an experience. the only downside was the fact the bathroom "shower/toilet" area had no fan... you could hear everything you or your partner were doing in there. the big bed was so cozy and great for watching the views of sunrise/sunset. the Ipad was my fav ft all at your finger tips. I love a smart room/ lighting and this was great.

The property is clean and have good style. Most things are controlled by electronics (an ipad in room to control TV, temperature, curtain) but it's lagging. Housekeeping threw away two of my shopping paper bags with things in it (it's VERY OBVIOUS). Manager said sorry but if I left it on the floor NEAR the door/trash can, Housekeeping would think it's trash. I said my things were NOT in the trash can and it's VERY OBVIOUS that there are things inside those two bags, and then the manager guy said Housekeeping cannot look into guest's belonging (???) - then why did they threw it out if it's guest's belongings? The manager made no sense. They offered to pay for a shirt that's in one of my bags, mind you the other bag also have other things I just bought. I could have made a big deal out of it but I decided not to. Whatever. You can hear most things going on in the hallway from inside the room e.g: next door close or open, walking talking sound, cleaning room next door. I don't enjoy that, but not hate that too much either. Room is tiny. Closet is right next to the door and very small; width+depth is about the size of a carryon luggage laying flat. It's cheaper than other hotels around so I guess that makes up for the tiny size. I was gonna extend another night but decided to spend the night at another hotel a block away that's way better. Overall, not bad but not great. If you're looking for affordable options, this might be for you.

Me and my partner were super excited even before we arrived at CitizenM in Seattle. The room was perfectly as described and pictured; clean, modern, and cozy! The staffs were super helpful at the self check-in. The hotel was right in downtown Seattle, with lots of places to explore. The experience here was spectacular and we would definitely book here again the next time we visit!

We booked CitizenM because we were very impressed by the Washington D.C. location from before. But our stay at this one left us very disappointed. The pillows were too high, so they hurt my neck and the hotel did not have any alternative. The WiFi was terrible — it often disconnected, was very weak, or just didn’t work. The TV in our room was faulty and would randomly turn on by itself and disturb our sleep. Our stay was so bad that we wanted to check out early and stay at another hotel. Also, after the Marriott acquisition, the prices have gone up while quality declined. Our bed does not feel as comfortable as the last time we stayed at CitizenM. Customer service is non-existent. We will never, ever stay at a CitizenM ever again.
