Excellent weekend getaway!

We loved it! The room was fun with being able to control everything on the IPAD especially the colors in the bathroom/shower. At first we thought was little small, but the space is so well used and really perfect for just my husband and I. Good thing the kids didn't come, or they would have wanted to play with all the blinds and lights. Love the lobby and restaurant area and the decor is fun and a lot to keep you busy looking at. We checked in very late after Phillies game at Nats field and the gentleman that was down there was extremely helpful with us checking in on the self-serve kiosks. I was very pleased and price was amazing! Beds were super comfy too :) I was a little bummed there was no parking available for the hotel-but there is parking garages near by and we left the vehicle there and rented scooters to view the city-definitely should do, it was a lot of fun and we covered a lot of ground in a day!

Great choice & will come back again if I’m traveling with one other person. Since this hotel only has single king sized beds, it’s not great for families…which is evident in some of the non family friendly hotel decor. I did however enjoy staying at this unique hotel as it really stands out such as: -Great quiet location 3min walk to Metro. Starbucks, McD’s was walkable. Safe area to stay. Very clean & new -They provided free filtered iced water in glass bottles that you can grab. If you brought your own bottle you can fill it up at a chilled filtered water/sparkling station. -While the room is small they provide space for storage in an under the bed drawer that fit my entire carry on luggage opened in it. We enjoyed using the iPad to control the room from blackout shades, lighting & temp control. There was also an option to screen cast via their QR code so you can watch your streaming services without needing to sign into them & remembering to sign out before you leave. The King bed was comfortable & had a great view of the Capital building when looking out the window. -checking in & out was easy. They had an attendant but it was all done on an iPad & you even make your own key card. It was really easy & one thing that I’ve never seen before is they ask you on screen of your floor preferences. I chose higher floor with a view. Checkout was also super easy. They had multiple attendants checking luggage to hold for guests who check out but have plans to travel later.

Stayed here for Beyonce weekend and it was so cozy and comfortable. The woman in the lobby was super helpful and complimented my hair😁Fantastic & simple first experience with CitizeNM, although it took me a minute to figure out how the hot water worked in the shower😅I also loved the sunrise ambient noise alarm, it was so peaceful to wake up to!

Most everyone was friendly, the iPads in the rooms were useful when my own mobile wasn’t around me. I enjoyed the common areas too. It was on the “trendy” side for a simple person as myself, but I got used to it very fast. I would not hesitate to book a room from this company again. They people were great, made my visit to DC that much more enjoyable

Great Location! Nice place to stay!

I was really curious about the bed and how hotel services could make up something that was built-in. I was sure there must be a way that it slid away from the wall. But there wasn't and when leaving we passed a room that was being made up and found the maid crawling on the bed to get the bottom sheet on! There was no issue with a top sheet because there wasn't one. Just a comforter which was too hot for my husband. The hotel was quite nice but seems to be designed for the younger set or single travelers and not for older folks that may need to get up during the night to use the bathroom. Several times my husband had to crawl over me to get in and out of bed. Perhaps a queen size bed placed vertically to the window with room to move on each side would be better for some. I would also liked to have had washcloths to use. The shampoo/soap/conditioner were nice and left my hair feeling soft. We could have used a sign on the elevator explaining how to use your room card to work the elevator. Other guests explained it for us. The location was perfect and the area was quiet except for faint music playing somewhere at night. A short walk to the metro made our stay better than expected. We loved the compact design of the room which is all that is needed on a busy trip to DC. Just a place to shower and sleep. And the room darkeneing blinds are just that. I couldn't believe how late it was when I woke up!!! I would definitely stay here again. Especially now that I know how things work.
