The bed was comfortable and the hotel is close to everything and the Subway was super close in the 42st. It’s a nice place to stay if you only planing to be outside for long time because rooms are not that spacious.

It’s located on a great spot in nyc and it’s very well priced! I enjoyed my stay and would recommend!
Location is perfect for a good time in Times Square. The staff are very welcoming and the service for towels and cleanliness was very prompt and perfect. I wish there were separate containers for recycling and trash in the rooms.
This is an ideal hotel for a solo traveler. Rooms are very small obviously, but provide decent enough storage space for your bags and clothing. My only complaint was that the room smelled horribly of stinky feet. They really need to shampoo the carpets or use something to absorb that smell. The elevator situation was a bit of a pain because you had to take two (one to the lobby and one to your room) and it was difficult to tell when the second one was coming, but at least it felt safe. One day on my way out (and in a rush) I asked the front desk for a new roll of TP and they just handed it to me over the counter, so I had to go all the way back up to drop it off, which was inconvenient and kind of embarrassing. I had originally tried calling down from my room but the phone in my room didn’t work. Anyway, I’d stay there again but only as a solo traveler and I think if I get another room that smells like that I’d ask to move.
We stayed four nights and the room was as advertised. It’s small and it’s tight but it’s well priced and you’re right off 42nd and 9th so it’s in a great spot to get around Manhattan.
There wasn’t anything significantly wrong, just a few minor things. There was some minor mold around the edge of the shower, our sink struggled to drain and while the thermostat was set to 68 the temperature never got below 70.
It was $149 a night on hotels.com and with the resort fee and spike for the weekend rates, it ended up costing about $211 a night.
We basically used it for sleeping and showering and overall it was good.
Terribly poor execution of CitizenM concept at slightly lower price. Dark, dank, scary location at night, misleading pictures, no amenities except an unattractive bar. Totally disappointing
