Very comfortable stay. I really appreciated the innovation with tying all of the room's control's to the iPad. Would highly recommend this hotel and would re-book if I pass through again.

This hotel was amazing! The staff were always helpful and gave great suggestions on where to eat and what to see! The bed was comfy and the room was very modern and exactly what you need if you don’t plan on being in the room beyond sleeping and bathing! I will definitely be staying at CitizenM properties in future travels!

Super friendly staff, clean and modern room. Beautiful lobby area with plenty of seating and work areas. Breakfast buffet was great with plenty of options, and my chilled Americano hit the spot every morning. Will be staying here again, and plan on staying at the Miami location next month.

Citizen M was great! We chose it because it was a good deal but we were blown away by the hotel. It has all the essentials but is but super clean and chic. The lounge area/ bar was nice and the staff was so friendly! Will definitely be staying at CitizenM again.
