We did a staycation in the city for my boyfriend’s birthday and the CitizenM hotel was perfect! The decor everywhere is nicely done. The rooms were nice, clean and modern. We loved the view. The beds and pillows were so comfy! We didn’t do the buffet but it looked very good with plenty of options to choose from!

nice and very modern hotel, parking is terrible, you have to walk about a half a mile, there is not even a spot to drop off and get the suitcases out. No laundry service. rooms are very small but clean.

An efficient space that caters to young folks

Very new and clean. Easily the best part is knowing how clean the place is. The check in process is done by yourself and is technically messy with some unclear steps and things you can and can't do in the app vs the kiosk in the lobby. You can flag down the staff to help but it feels impersonal. Breakfast is buffet style basics with nothing to set it apart or cause me to pay 20 bucks for it again. The atmosphere is very trendy and the lobby and community spaces are all packed with students and people working remotely. Definitely not a fun place to try and relax solo, with all the stares. I'll go a more traditional route next time, as I think I'm aging out of the demo for this chain. Overall, a good value for a solo traveler.
