Loved my stay at citizenM in San Francisco! The room was small but super cosy – perfect for relaxing after a long day out. The bed was so comfy, I slept like a baby. The staff were all really nice and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Would definitely stay here again, no doubt.
