"The hotel was very cute with all of the decor. I loved the check in time which was at 2 o’clock.The room was perfect even though small.I loved the way the iPad connected to the lights and tv. I felt safe at CitizenM because no one could get up the elevator without a keycard and when they locked the doors outside you had to use your keycard to get in. The only thing was upon requesting our room to be cleaned it wasn’t. But other than that would recommend this hotel. "

"Beautiful hotel, great location, Starbucks in the lobby. Gorgeous room and bathroom. Only complaint is the air system. They have a very loud air system running all the time in the ceiling. Turning the fan off helped but could still hear it quite loud in the walls. To the point of hearing it over the tv/ needing ear plugs to sleep. Not sure why they need that / perhaps it doesn’t work right. Maybe it was just near our room. Everything else was great."
