    Cool wall in the hotel restaurant.
    Jodi C.

    99.9% of the staff is amazing. Completely amazing !! Going the extra mile and friendly and kind. They have a beautiful camaraderie with each other. So fun to interact with them! The gal who does the lunch time bar keeping keeps her nose in the air and is clearly more important than anyone else on the planet. And it's important that everyone else knows they are beneath her. She will tidy the bar and straighten all the bottles and then go check the cabinets and be silent or snippy when a customer deigns ask for something. She brings the whole place down. She is the weakest link and I hope she either gets an attitude adjustment that sticks or she gets told to get a different job somewhere else where she doesn't interact with the public. The room is clean and comfy. The bed is comfy. The pillows are great. The color lights in the shower are fun. There is no hot water at the sink, but ample hot water in the shower. There is a lot of fun all over inside this hotel. I love the carpet map of DC outside the elevators too. :) And the fun dance videos in the elevator. That's fun too! We have enjoyed the foods we have gotten from the menu in the main level restaurant, I love the water dispenser for refilling our bottles. And the sushi is so good too! We are having a good trip here and look forward to future trips too!

    CitizenM hotels are more or less all a copy/paste of one another. I stayed at the Boston North Station hotel a few years back and the room was almost exactly the same. Not bad, but not unique from eachother. The benefit of the hotels being the same is that everything is pretty easy to navigate. Check-In/Out is done on a kiosk and everything in the room can be controlled via iPad. The overall layout of the room is maximized to efficiently fit everything in as small of a footprint as possible - bed with storage and safe underneath, desk & chair, extra bench for seating, toilet & shower, sink & mirror, cooling drawer for beverages, and a closet area to hang clothing. As a solo traveler staying for a short trip, I don't mind the set up, there is the perfect amount of space to spread out for just one, but I have reservations about accommodating a couple because someone would have to crawl across the other to get out of bed in the morning and I'm sure you can hear all bathroom noises through the glass partition. Things I particularly like about the room are probably the more "gimmicky" stuff like the cute plush in the room, TV personalized with your name on the home screen, and being able to adjust the colored lighting. The bed also feels huge and the blackout curtains are everything! Overall my stay went smoothly and I particularly appreciated the presence of security in the late evenings. I'll definitely consider a CitizenM hotel again for more short trips.

    They need a coffee pot in those bedrooms and a microwave because and they need to stay open longer than 11 o'clock at the bar we came in. We flew in from the West Coast expecting a five star hotel. The rooms are small as dorm rooms and there's nowhere for anyone to move around if you're too grown adults and plus size people cannot fit in those rooms.

    My first time ever staying at a CitizenM, and it was both interesting and eye-opening. Think of a CitizenM hotel like a cruise ship. The priority are the destinations, but the ship offers nice amenities as well. The rooms are small and narrow, much like on a ship. An iPad controls everything from the AC to the ambiance and TV. The shower has frosted glass. The window is HUGE. The bed is even bigger. The location is very close to "The Mall" area of Washington DC. The staff (ambassadors) were so kind and helpful. And our room was totally clean. The only negative I had with the room is that it was set to 64 and felt closer to 75. It did get cold at night, but in the middle of the day it struggled to cool down. That being said, for the price and offerings, we were quite impressed with CitizenM and will stay at another in the future.

    Can never go wrong with Citizens M. Positioned perfectly a half a block away from the train station. 11 minutes away from DCA by train. And 10mins away from city center. Definitely my first choice when coming to DC.

    Our base for the next few days.

    CitizenM was a very hip hotel that we stayed for a few days in Washington D.C. It was ideally located where you could walk to the nearby Metro station around the block and about a 15-minute walk to the Wharf. The interior design of the hotel was very hip with a Gotham feel straight out of the Dark Knight comics almost from the 1980s. From the rooftop cocktail bar with gorgeous views of the U.S. Capitol to the lobby bar and library, the hotel is a good place to start your day, have an evening drink, or a nightcap. Our room was compact but had a lot of amenities that I enjoyed immensely from their infotainment tablet that allowed you to change the color of the lights based on the mood settings and set up different music for if you're settling down to go to sleep or waking up. The tablet operates everything in the room. I enjoyed strategically opening up the privacy and blackout blinds in the morning and then closing in the evening. I really liked the shape and design of the standing shower and toilet. It was glass-walled and there was a curtain partition should you want privacy. To access the shower, you first opened the glass door that led to where the toilet was located before opening another glass door that led you into the shower. The water pressure was great. The only two complaints I have come from trying to operate the elevator with the room key card and how the bed was positioned in our room. It took me until the third day I was staying at the hotel to figure out where to position the key card over the scanner in the elevator so I could select the floor we wanted to go up without being stalled on the lobby. Apparently, we were just some of the guests who had difficulties using their key cards for the elevator. The hotel should provide visual instructions on where to position the card and how long before pushing the appropriate floor button, as that may help. Granted you may still have people who can't do it, but every little helps. While the bed was comfortable, because it was positioned wall to wall in the room next to the window, depending on who was closest to the window would need to crawl practically on top of the other person if they needed to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. Don't get me wrong, the hotel did a great job utilizing the space within our hotel room but that is one challenge I didn't anticipate when we did stay there. But overall, the hotel stay was solid, and would stay there again the next time we are in D.C., especially, if we see more shows at the Anthem in the Wharf.

    This was a fair prices, clean and unique hotel We stayed here for my boyfriend's birthday and we enjoyed every minute. It's in a safe location so you can walk around at night to this really good pizza shop around the corner. I'm going to keep this place in my back pocket as this was a really nice and clean stay!

    For our seven night stay in DC, we chose Citizen M as the price was on the lower end (these days, under $200 a night is "cheap"), and it was in an excellent location -- close to everything, but not in the middle of all the hubbub (although there really isn't any hubbub in DC). The downside, however, was that it was one of those "micro" rooms, but if you want a somewhat affordable price, you have to sacrifice size. (To maximize the small space, the "bathroom" was one of those shower stall/toilet combos, although there was at least a division between the toilet and shower, which is not always the case.) Citizen M is trying to cater to younger people, as is evident from the decor and iPad-controlled lights/window blinds/TV/air conditioner in the room. While the decor was funky and the lighting was pretty cool (using the iPad, you could change the color of the lighting in the "bathroom"), as someone over the age of 40, I value cleanliness and peace and quiet over cool lights and technology. At first Citizen M seemed to pass the noise test (excluding the bells from the nearby church waking us up every morning at 7am), but on the penultimate night, there was a so much noise which didn't stop until about 2am. All evening long, we could hear a constant rumble of talking and music, punctuated with what sounded like explosions from an action movie, making it difficult to fall asleep. The noise became even louder around 12:30am, and we went to investigate where it could have been coming from, even going outside to try and determine the source. However, we could not figure out where the noise was coming from -- it did not appear to be coming from another room or from a nearby building. We complained, and an employee walked around the hotel and checked other floors for the source of the noise, but she couldn't figure it out either. It was a complete mystery, and we wondered if it were coming from a completely different part of the hotel and due to the way the vents were designed, we had the unfortunate luck of having all the noise funnelled directly into OUR room. The noise finally stopped around 2am. Another issue we had was the lack of air conditioning. Either the AC in the hotel sucked or the AC was malfunctioning in our room, because it was sweltering and I was drenched in sweat every night. However, the staff claimed the AC was working. Between the heat and the noise, I did not have once restful night. I was going to give Citizen M four stars, and even though they deserve two stars due to the noise and lack of air conditioning, I'll give it three stars, as aside from the heat and noise, it was a pretty decent hotel. In addition to the excellent location, they had a nice rooftop bar; they offered a decent breakfast buffet (although at $20, it was expensive); they had a comfortable lounge and plenty of seating if you wanted to relax; and the staff was excellent. It's a shame that the AC wasn't working and the noise that one night was absolutely unbearable. A decent hotel, but with some major flaws. (Also, the shower leaked a bit into our room.)

The brick exterior coupled with the large white-walled interior provided the perfect "blank canvas" to backdrop our event. We hosted nearly 100 people and had plenty of room for a live band and bar. The reason this review earned three stars was because of venue management. An important aspect of North Hall is that they will not let you do any setup prior to the event unless you pay per hour. As an example: our event started at 5pm and we had to pay 500$ more to start setup at 3pm. The real issue arose when we were informed that we could not leave anything in a closet or kitchen in order to make the "day-of" prep easier. Management allowed absolutely nothing from entering or remaining in the space despite there being no event prior to our reception. On a positive note, the two hour setup window provided a testament to how amazing our vendors were; they created a beautiful space with no help from North Hall. The management induced plenty of undue stress by being unclear of what permits were needed for the event. They went on to remind us with little time to prepare. This issue manifested itself one week prior to our wedding day, where our wedding coordinator, my wife, and myself scrambled to get permits for food, alcohol, etc. Overall, North Hall is truly lovely, but future customers should be aware that this venue is fortified by the bureaucracy of Washington D.C. Much like your local trip to the DMV, illogical policies and the lack of regard for the individual reign supreme. Weddings are stressful and emotional, no one should have to deal with the inefficiencies of government and the shortcomings of bureaucrats on their special day.

We chose the North Hall because of the brick exterior, urban feel and large space -- big enough for 200 people. Weddings can be expensive and after an exhausted search we found that the North Hall was the best option. We are so glad we chose to host our wedding reception here! I would recommend this place for any business or social function. A few side notes: The parking was not a problem and the staff was extremely helpful. The bill is in some what of an a la cart format so try to get ALL the fees up front. Be sure to stick to the allotted timeframe so you don't have extra rental hour fees. Go with the bulb lighting!
