Tiny micro rooms. The garbage can only held a quart size bag. If you wanted any housekeeping service you had to request it 24 hr in advance or no new towels or garbage removal after 4 days. Took 1/2 hr to figure out light system. Lights all on or all off. Couldn’t turn a light on for the bathroom at night. Not close to attractions and museums. 7 minute by car, 35 walking. Cute hotel but truely an example of form over function. Terrible water pressure. Towels were huge but felt like sand paper.

Definitely not the typical hotel. The rooms are super small literally king bed touched 3 walls literal have to climb over my wife to get out of the bed. This could be my fault for not seeing it in the pictures better but the bathroom is super small as well no room to be in the room to relax. It is definitely just sleeping area. Service was hard to come by you would have to go find someone. The room is controlled by an iPad that would shut everything down and off if you pushed the wrong button. The tiny fridge did not work and they automatically do not clean your room you will have to request it on the iPad. If you are planning on just one person probably would not be to bad but if more than just one I would book elsewhere.

The rooms are well designed but very very small. Make sure you are with someone you’re comfortable sharing everything with. The bathroom is a pod containing toilet and shower, with the sink in the room, so not much privacy.

The hotel room was shockingly small. Faint sewer ordor in room from floor vent in bathroom. Shower wall leaked, but was addressed promptly. Hotel was clean, buffet breakfst was very good. Staff were professional, attentive and polite. Location was great, well within walking distance to museums, waterfront, Capitol Hill and monuments.

Would definitely book again.
CitizenM was a hidden surprise. I had never heard of them but booked because they had a high rating and reasonable cost. The bed was the most comfortable ever. Spent a lot of time relaxing in the lobby with snacks and drinks. All staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We were in a great location in DC within walking distance of several museums and monuments.

Really excellent hotel. Warm staff, clean comfy rooms with nothing you don’t need and no grungy carpet, convenient to walk everywhere. It is becoming more expensive but still worth it.

Staying at this hotel was such a wonderful experience that I extended my stay for 3 extra days! The hotel is centrally located to everything in D.C. There is a Nero station less than a 5 minute walk that will get you anywhere. The rooms were compact but still had every amenity you could want. The huge king size beds were a dream! The decor was adorable and “homey.” I was even greeted by ballon’s, a personal card, and snacks when I entered my room. Every single staff I dealt with from front desk, to restaurant was so kind and helpful. Every space was impeccably clean as well. Just can’t say enough about this hotel chain. Will be looking for one on my next travel.

a modern approach to hotel stays. not good or bad but different so as i compare the stays with other hotels i feel like its more of a younger person thing. i do like self help but i also like the personal engagement in a traditional hotel. it did feel hip and cool. rooms felt like Japan ie tiny and almost too smart.
