They need to advertise better that the room is a tiny, non-conventional room. It reminded me of a cruise ship cabin with the bed squeeze between two walls and a window. The worst part was them refusing to refund me once I told them I need to check out and find a real hotel room with a bit of space to host a guest or two. I'll be happy to remove this rating if they give me my refund, I'm not holding my breath though. Anyone Expedia or I have spoken to in their reservations department seem greedily beholden to their policy of no refunds. So far I've paid for three nights at more than $1200 for this place, and was only in the cabin for 5 minutes. Not cool.

As a solo traveler, I will probably use CitizenM again if I’m flying somewhere that’s expensive. Otherwise, I will probably use another option. Especially if the stay is longer than a weekend. The hotel is very nice. It is clean, the staff is very helpful, and the technology-forward approach is very cool (but admittedly in an anti-social way). I stayed here because I have an inordinate fear of bed bugs, and I read the reviews that said CitizenM takes the necessary precautions, which I deeply appreciate. You can tell that the room is clean as a whistle the second you walk in. I will say, I didn’t care about how tiny the room was, I actually kind of liked that it felt like a bedroom and I kind of wish my own bedroom could have a mounted tv like that, haha. However, I did not like that I didn’t have ready access to drinking water. I had to patronize the nearby CVS and 7/11 multiple times just to get new bottles (which I hate doing) because I didn’t think to bring my hydroflask. This goes hand-in-hand with my dislike of the lobby’s “CanteenM” idea, as I would far prefer a vending machine (or even as an addition would be just fine!). Overall, I’m not complaining. I got sleep. It was clean. I took a shower. Ate food in my room. I even used the gym. Whole nine yards. I just wish there was just one or two QOL changes like adding a vending machine (it can be a hipster, healthy vending machine since that’s your aesthetic, but a vending machine nonetheless).

Small room, but good price! I’ll look around more for an alternative hotel since the room didn’t have a microwave or a real refrigerator, which for me is a part of my daily routine for tea and dairy products for my breakfasts. There was an annoying flashing white light from the smoke alarm over the bed, but when I asked about it, the front desk just commented, “Yeah that’s a common complaint…” WHAT? But good location in downtown Austin.

Several problems . No internet for the first day which meant that keys didn't work,cash only at the bar. This also resulted in the curtains going up automatically the next day very early in the morning, cash only at the bar etc. The room is very very small and the price isn't low enough to justify it. Fuse blew when using a curling iron. No parking. Hotel can't be called form outside the hotel, you only get a robot. It's a good loctation , nut over priced for what you get.
