Logistics are bad. Parking situation on the booking was confusing and no load/unload zone by the lobby door to go in and ask. Pulled into a pay lot across the street with a meter maid making rounds so I sat there and tried to call the lobby for assistance. No on site phone number and the off site call center kept me on hold for 30+ minutes. Finally I just paid the $40 for the lot and went to check in, only to be told by staff in the lobby not to park there due to constant break ins. Had to pay another $45 to park in their contracted lot that is accessed via the alley. They have a bunch of iPads in the lobby to check in, and overly decorated “hang space”, and only one person on site. It’s obviously built by tech bros for tech bros and was more of a reminder of how crappy things are when you try to replace human service industry workers with tech. Overall the experience was giving post-venture-capital-dystopia. The few humans who do work there were delightful, had a nice chat with the bartender in the lobby bar and they kept the place spotless.

The room is tiny but for the price, it's good. The lobby looks nice and stylish, but the room looks okay. The room I stay at has a smell, not horrible or anything but it's there. Soaps and lotion smell bad in my opinion, don't know who approve those to be used. The "closet" is tiny, right by the door (you can open the door and hang your clothes from outside kind of small). There's storage under the bed. There's an iPad to control everything- curtains, lights, TV; but it can be lagging sometimes. Surrounding areas are nice, convenient, walkable to many places. If you just need a decent affordable place to sleep and shower at night, this hotel maybe for you. Housekeeping "threw away" two of my shopping bags with stuff OBVIOUSLY in it (no, my bags were not in the trash can). The manager said if it's on the floor, near the door or near the trash can, Housekeeping would think it's trash and throw it away(???). I said my shopping bags were NOT in the trash can, and you can clearly see my stuff in the bags. Manager said they're not allowed to go through guest's belonging (??) then why would you throw your guest's belonging away? male manager worked that one night made no sense at all (1/8/26). He offered to refund me the shirt price, but I have other stuffs. But whatever. I was NOT happy with this explanation at all. It feels like he tried to put the blame on me. I needed to extended another night but I decided to go to a different hotel down the street instead.

Got in after hours and was worried that we would have a hard time getting in. no problem for the self check in, and bar was still open when we go there. For a last minute booking and a 1st time getaway this was fun and intimate. i was nervous the smaller untraditional style would shock my partner, but they were stunned and looked at it as an experience. the only downside was the fact the bathroom "shower/toilet" area had no fan... you could hear everything you or your partner were doing in there. the big bed was so cozy and great for watching the views of sunrise/sunset. the Ipad was my fav ft all at your finger tips. I love a smart room/ lighting and this was great.

The property is clean and have good style. Most things are controlled by electronics (an ipad in room to control TV, temperature, curtain) but it's lagging. Housekeeping threw away two of my shopping paper bags with things in it (it's VERY OBVIOUS). Manager said sorry but if I left it on the floor NEAR the door/trash can, Housekeeping would think it's trash. I said my things were NOT in the trash can and it's VERY OBVIOUS that there are things inside those two bags, and then the manager guy said Housekeeping cannot look into guest's belonging (???) - then why did they threw it out if it's guest's belongings? The manager made no sense. They offered to pay for a shirt that's in one of my bags, mind you the other bag also have other things I just bought. I could have made a big deal out of it but I decided not to. Whatever. You can hear most things going on in the hallway from inside the room e.g: next door close or open, walking talking sound, cleaning room next door. I don't enjoy that, but not hate that too much either. Room is tiny. Closet is right next to the door and very small; width+depth is about the size of a carryon luggage laying flat. It's cheaper than other hotels around so I guess that makes up for the tiny size. I was gonna extend another night but decided to spend the night at another hotel a block away that's way better. Overall, not bad but not great. If you're looking for affordable options, this might be for you.

Me and my partner were super excited even before we arrived at CitizenM in Seattle. The room was perfectly as described and pictured; clean, modern, and cozy! The staffs were super helpful at the self check-in. The hotel was right in downtown Seattle, with lots of places to explore. The experience here was spectacular and we would definitely book here again the next time we visit!
