CitizenM is a simple but comfortable hotel in the area. The area is safe and close to many attractions. The rooms are cozy but has everything you need. It is bright, clean, quiet and comfortable.
Clean hotel and friendly staff. The rooms were tiny! The parking was terrible. We paid for 12 hours of parking for $40 and still got a $70 ticket. The staff were kind but unhelpful with the situation.
Fantastic customer service from the staff helping me to check in. Rooms are efficient and not large, but no skimping on the comfort and general luxuriousness. Personal fave was the School of Life books on the shelf above my bed and the solfeggio frequencies connected to a colorscape to help me wind down. The breakfast buffet is outrageously great.
Very futuristic and modern themed hotel that has a great view of downtown Seattle. Surprised my wife with a trip here and she absolutely loved all of the artsy things about the hotel. The staff was great and it was a friendly, safe, and chill environment overall. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting. However, they don’t have parking, so we used the Spot Hero parking app to book a place to park for the time of the stay across the street from the hotel and that worked out great👍

I booked the wrong night by accident via hotels.com. Immediately called to change to the correct night with both hotels.com and Citizen M and was told by both entities I would only be charged for one night. On the night of arrival I also confirmed with Citizen M that this was indeed true and the front desk staff told me there was only one night charged. However hotels.com charged for both. Attempted to rectify this and hotels.com said they had tried to contact Citizen m for several weeks and couldn’t get a hold of them. So all in all very disappointed in Citizen m’s ability to provide help - also this isn’t the first time hotels.com has done shady stuff. My rec would be to avoid both. Hotel rooms were basic but lots of scuffs.
