Fantastic experience as far as the property and its staff is concerned. Dropping one star only because the periphery has significant number of homeless people especially in the night which can at time feel unsafe. Very friendly and supportive staff overall!

The hotel has a great location, close to BART stations and Muni stops, making it easy to get around the city. Supermarkets and shopping centers are also nearby, so shopping on foot was convenient. The staff were very friendly and helpful during check-in and check-out. They even offered to store my luggage before I asked. The room was clean, and I could control the air conditioning, TV, and housekeeping requests using a tablet, which was very convenient.

Loved this economical hotel. My only issue (which is possibly with Expedia and not the hotel) is that we paid for a “high floor” room but none was available. Will stay at CitizenM again but will book direct next time.
