Why you Should Never Stay at Citizen M

Hotel has no parking. There is no valet. They tell you that there are garages in the "neighborhood." There is no place to park to unload passengers not to mention luggage. Not mentioned on the website is the fact that the room is eight feet wide. Yes, eight feet wide. The head and foot of the bed touch the side walls of the room and one side of the bed is pressed up against the window wall. Must be interesting to watch how the housekeeping staff makes the bed. The bathroom is strange. The sink and vanity are located in the room which I guess is handy should you wake up in the middle of the night and have an uncontrollable need to wash your hands. The soap at the sink says "Soap" on the dispenser. However, when you get to the shower the "soap" says "Shampoo" with a version for AM and a separate version for PM. First time I have taken a shower using "Shampoo". A colleague, whose mobile number I did not have, was also staying in the hotel. There is no way to call another guest in the hotel. Only the one person at the front desk can make calls to guest rooms. The check-in experience is just that an experience. No one at the Front Desk to welcome you to the hotel. You have to check yourself in at a kiosk, populate forms, scan your passport or the front and back, insert your credit card, print your own room key - every step requires a different screen. At check out getting a printed copy of the folio seems to be a very strange request.

The room had condensation from the AC on the ceiling and the AC was leaking all day and night. The floor was always wet. The ester damaged some of my electronics and possibly ruined them. I asked twice for you guys to move me rooms and you guys would always say yes and never ended up moving me rooms. I was there 5 days dealing with all of this. We would have to use our own towel to dry the floor because no one would come to clean up either.

A Must Stay !!!

Excellent location with close proximity to other hotel restaurants and bars. Close to the well-known 6th street downtown. Hotel was tech modern with self-check in/out process and managing room amenities with i-pad controller.

Interior of hotel was quirky, fun interesting. Rooms are very small. Your partner will have to crawl over you to get out of bed. Beds were comfortable rooms were clean.Outside of the hotel sidewalks are absolutely filthy, but the whole city is that way. For the most part staff was awesome, especially Jimmy who went above and beyond. A young man with no name tag dark hair was rude the entire time. Hotel is in a great location. Just be forewarned, the rooms are like half the size of a typical hotel room. But they are cozy.

This was the weirdest place I have ever stayed at. The room is like staying in a tiny camper. The bed is wedged in and if you are super tall you are not fitting in the bed. The controls to everything are on an iPad. Which is cool but very confusing. The whole hotel is very high tech. The shower and toilet are all in one. Let’s just say that if you are going to stay with someone in the same room, make sure that you really like one another and are comfortable with each other. There is no privacy at all. Especially when going to the bathroom!

Great stay!

Had a wonderful stay! The check in at the kiosk is not a big deal there are people there to help you. The room was great! Comfy bed and super clean. It’s not a standard size hotel room but I like that. It was very modern, I’ll take that over a huge old room. The people working here are super sweet and there is cool art everywhere and great drinks. The only recommendation I have is bring ear plugs. The area is loud at night because it’s right by 6th.

Good location; awful fitness center.

Good location. Rooms are small, as advertised, but functional. Good for one person. But for a hotel that has 300+ rooms, the so called fitness center is pathetic. Max capacity is 10. Equipment is either dated or in use. Very limited.
