I have stayed at this hotel brand in several different cities, and overall it has consistently been a very pleasant experience. The property is well maintained, the atmosphere is nice, and the staff are genuinely friendly and helpful. During this particular stay, however, there was one significant inconvenience. The fire alarm went off, and shortly after that the water was shut down for the entire morning. Unfortunately, this meant that the late checkout I had paid for, specifically to rest and shower comfortably before leaving, became essentially unusable.

Room was nice. Housekeeping was good. Nice lobby. Downsides: no early check in options. No outside food in the lobby. Fire alarms went off in the morning and it shut off water to my room so I couldn't shower.

While the room was nice and the location was good, this was over shadowed by the fire alarm going off over over an hour on the Saturday morning. Not only did it wake us up, we couldnt shower and go out for breakfast as the water was off. The hotel sent an apology email, no other reco.pense was offered.

Disliked: Amenities
Everything was good until the morning. The firealarms kept going off around 10am. Then mid showering the water went off, so unable to both shower/ rinse suds off. Toilet stopped flushing, no water to clean our teeth. The temperature in the room was too high also, even though we had put it on to the coldest setting. Disappointed that it ended badly

citizenM may have created the perfect hotel for work trips--a perfect use of limited space, tech upgrades (e.g., mood lighting and music), iPad controls, a massive bed, and plenty of storage; excellent and plenty of shared work space, and a 24/7 bar. Added to all of this they're in great locations for restaurants, local sights, and walking.

What a unique stay! This was my first time staying in a Citizen M hotel and it was cool. The rooms were unique and cozy (perfect for sleeping off jet lag) - though really compact (which was perfect for us). the staff was wonderful.

Very courteous and helpful staff, and convenient location. The room was small and lacked places to put things down. A small dresser would be a nice addition. Nice lounge in lobby.
