this hotel was very convenient for our needs. We were there to see the basic DC sites, and we were less than a block – two partial blocks – to a major metro with three or four lines. We were about a 5 to 7 minute walk to the Air&Space Museum, and then the mall from there. The room was small, but the bed was comfortable, and we slept well. The staff was very helpful and congenial. I’m more traditional in my taste, but the decor was fun and modern. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I have no complaints.

Not a typical hotel, fun, artful and well designed
We had a wonderful time. My wife had visited DC for business and stayed at the hotel two prior visits and raved about the unique and artful property. It was my first visit and couldn't agree more. It was as advertised. We really appreciated the thoughtful design and branding across the entire hotel, especially the fun immersive details in the compact room, the bed and bedding was incredibly comfortable, and made it a fun experience. We loved the convenient location to the Mall, Capitol Hill and the Warf as well. Will be back in the future.

My check-in experience was smooth, the accommodations were perfect for my particular travel experience, and to be very honest, the feel of the hotel makes me want to return again and stay with citizenM, especially because I didn't get a chance to try the sushi bar and hotel bar/restaurant while there. I had an excellent experience and would recommend for solo travelers or a couple looking for a weekend getaway.

Unique property. Perfect for us low maintenance, light luggage travelers. Small, clean room was fine, but if you're sleeping two (or more) someone has to climb over as the bed is against the window. Efficient self check in. Wish there was free coffee in the lobby in the morning!

Pros: - Bed up against large window. - Comfortable bed, pillows, sheets. - Free water jugs you can take to your room. - Has a bar with food until 11PM. - Convenient location for National Mall. Cons: - Regardless if you set the AC to low, medium, high, or auto, it doesn't change airflow. Airflow is VERY light and completely silent. If you set to 64 degrees (lowest it can go), it will take hours to get to like 70 degrees min. It will never get anywhere close to 64. - Bathroom door would not close. - Cheap plastic floor fake wood peeling off.

We had an excellent time at the property. The only issue was the streaming to the chrome cast wasn’t working for our room. Minor inconvenience for an otherwise great trip!
