Hotel had a modern stream lined experience. Though the room was smaller than normal, it was perfect because it offered modern amenities at an affordable price. It was also, a perfect sized space for needing a comfortable space to rest our heads after exploring DC all day.

What a unique and artsy property! We absolutely loved this hotel! It is clean, decorated well and just a whole vibe! We were a quick 5 minute walk from the Bible museum, a 10 minute walk to the wharf which has tons of resteraunts and things to see and a 6 minute cab ride from union station. They have a great breakfast buffet (a little pricey but worth it) a bar that’s open and also serves delicious snacks to hang out and chill! The rooms are a very contemporary IKEA style vibe and everything is controlled off of an iPad in the room which is super cool 😎 We had a great experience and look forward to coming back!!

Great location, ok price, but the rooms are like small cruise ship cabins! I wouldn't plan a stay over a couple of nights unless you are into claustrophobia.

Great location. No parking, but we found parking in front of the hotel that was free without restrictions. The rooms are tiny - which is the citizen brand. We somehow missed it. The bed is perched against the window and walls, no way to walk around it. With two people, one has to crawl over the other to get out. That said, the price for DC and the location is moderate. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Breakfast for $25 was delicious. We would stay again for 1 night.

Absolutely wonderful experience! From the moment we walked through the front door, we were greeted with a warm welcome by the young lady assisting with check-in. She was friendly, professional, and made us feel right at home. The self-check-in process was incredibly fast and easy—it took about two minutes to get our room keys. Once we got to our room, we were completely amazed. The room was modern, thoughtfully designed, and packed with features that made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The highlight of our stay was the bed. We honestly slept better than we have at any hotel we’ve ever stayed in. It was the best night’s sleep we’ve had while traveling, and that alone would make us want to come back. Overall, this was an outstanding experience from start to finish. We highly recommend citizenM.

The staff are professional and friendly. In particular, Whitney was a huge help with securing an Uber for me despite all of the road closures. I needed to get to my start point to have the honor of running in the final segment of Relay for America. Whitney went way above and beyond. Outstanding.

Overall nice clean place with comfortable bed that was close to Washington Mall. Bed was little low to floor. Fridge/ cooler in drawer was questionable but did it's job. Shower curtain was not low to floor and allowed excess water to escape the uniquely designed bathroom.

After a work trip to Washington, DC I took some PTO days to see some of the sights. This hotel was absolutely perfect for sightseeing. Just a five minute walk to the Smithsonian Air & Space museum, and a walkable distance from the International Spy Museum as well. The hotel was very clean, the staff were very friendly, and the rooms very modern. Perfect for solo or couples needing a cozy place to stay after DC adventures. The full room automation with lights (brightness and colors), AC, TV, and curtains on an iPad was pretty cool. Food at the downstairs bar was a decent price for the quality and quantity. The couple of times I went to the roof for pictures of the US Capital building the sushi restaurant was packed! I usually don’t sleep very well when traveling and I was very pleasantly surprised how comfortable the bed and pillows were and how well I slept. If I were to travel back to DC and have the opportunity to take some time off I would absolutely stay here again.
