Great location, Basic Needs Met

Wonderful location for many museums in DC, Fairly spartan rooms, but with a modern feel. If all one needs is a place to sleep, this is great option. Do not expect frills, but it works for many.

Overall it was a pretty good stay. I liked the iPad that controlled the lights and curtains and tv. My biggest complaint is that the bed was too firm so I didn't get a great night's sleep.

Minimalist type accommodations. Probably perfect for millennials. Interesting unique decor. What’s with the stuffed doll type throw pillow? Kind of creepy. Where would kids sleep? Infants & toddlers can sleep in the drawer under the bed but what about the older kids?

Amazing!

Stayed here for a little weekend getaway and it was the perfect. Seamless check in, very nice room with incredible features and extremely cozy. It was also walking distance from every major museum or land mark we wanted to see. And if you wanted to go a little farther? Just go down the street to the Metro station or take an Uber, or if you’re feeling adventurous, just hop on a scooter or bike and head to your destination as everything is close.

It was a very unique, eclectic hotel. A lot of fun things to see, even in the room! The view from our window of the Capitol was amazing! The room was very clean and the bed was super comfy..very relaxing after a full day of walking! We only got bottled drinks from the cooler, but noticed that the bar staff wasn't as overly pleasant as they were to people sitting at the bar. We did order food one night and it was pretty good for a late night in! The desk staff was more than accomodating and helpful with so many things. We got to check in early since our room was ready, and we were able to keep our luggage there after we checked out so we could explore a little more before our flight! We would definitely stay here again!

This property is unlike any I have stayed at before, the room is basically controlled by an IPad, which took a minute to get used to but was very convenient. The only negative was the bathroom set up

CitizenM is clean, stylish, and overall a great stay. However, it’s not pet-friendly and has strict policies even for service animals. Also, the room had a strong scent that was a bit overwhelming for me.

They emailed me the day before to let me know they don’t have parking. It was outside of my cancellation window so i was not able to find a new hotel that has onsite parking. Other than that, it had an eccentric atmosphere, the rooms were very modern, they come with a tablet that controls the lights/devices.
