Not only was the entrance unsafe the parking was 20 minutes away without an association that allows clients to park in associated lots. Just terrible to make a single mom and child drive around to three different lots they offered that were all full and had to go 20 min away and take an uber for extra. Many more convenient places to stay .

Ultra modern hotel, with self check in / out stations, very convenient, with great modern decor and extremely friendly staff. Common areas are very well maintained and have plenty of coop working and living spaces. For anyone who is not familiar with CitizenM, the rooms are very cozy and limited on space, gives cruise ship stateroom feels. Electric blinds and curtains and smart lights and TV that cann all be controlled from the iPad provided in each room. Highly recommend this hotel, location very walkable and is just a few steps away from the 1 bus line and the subway / train station on Massachusetts / Newbury and all the restaurants it has to offer.

Cannot say enough good things!!!! 10/10 experience

First - the staff at the check in reception area were so nice. The whole check in and check out process are automated and self-guided on a kiosk. It was really fast and easy. The Newport street view rooms in this hotel are INSANE. We were so impressed by the cleanliness, newness, and full update / hip vibes of the hotel lobby (2nd floor) and of our room. The king room we were in was REALLY small but the space was configured so well that it didn’t matter. The breakfast buffet downstairs is one of the best for hotel breakfasts. Coffee bar and service staff are awesome! The food was great. Lots of good protein and carb options for all kinds of eaters. Actually my only complaint is that I called the hotel to ask for information about parking options. The automated service (not a real person) told me that I should check the faq on the website as options near the hotel would be provided. The website told me “there’s no parking”. 😩
