Every inch of the hotel was immaculate and the buffet breakfast was scrumptious. Staff was very knowledgeable. The M in CitizenM stands for Marriot. Yet CitizenM is not yet linked to Marriot's Rewards program. An ambassador explained the situation to me and also answered my question as to why room rates were lower on independent hotel booking sites (they have great data mining). My aging eyes appreciated the adjustable lights and I liked that they had a Peloton bike in the fitness room. I also appreciated the comprehensive toiletry items available (shower cap, comb, toothbrush and toothpaste, nail file and sewing kit). My only complaint is that I missed them when I checked in since they were on the opposite side of the table. Also, signs for the Express Elevator should be larger.

Review from a younger boomer

It was a great first experience staying at a citizenM. Personally, it’s a little difficult to get adjusted to as someone in their 60s. It wasn’t so much the electronics as the size for me, but I could see elderly people having a difficult time adjusting to such a room. The hotel was amazing.

It was very self sufficient which made it feel a bit cold, for example it was essentially self check in. The roof top bar was nice but odd to get seated at. Overall it worked for our purposes, but was a strange property. Great location though near the T and walkable to Fenway!

I absolutely HATED that there was no parking at the property itself!! D: That really, really sucked!! I also think that this hotel is for VERY fancy people, which is fine and good, but I also felt like I didn't belong because of being just a regular (Midewestern) type person. And there was no free breakfast, which was ABOMINABLE!! Also: I didn't like the TV situation AT ALL because what do you mean you can really only control the TV through a mini iPad?! And also, why did it turn off in the middle of the night?! I need my white noise!!! Additionally: The bathroom expirence was very, very weird, but I made it work. It just sooooo wasn't for me...I really disliked that the shower and toilet were together, but the vanity was separate. The only saving grace of this place is the fact the that it's super close to the MGM at Fenway Theater, which is deadass the only reason why I booked it to begin with!! Overall, I did not really like this place at all due to personal preferences and feeling extremely out of place because of the bougie-ness of what was inside!! For the reasons listed above, I will not be returning to this hotel the next time I'm in Boston.
