I loved my stay at CitizenM. If you need a lot of space maybe it's not a good option but in our case was totally perfect and the location was awesome as well. I would be back if in Seattle

Clean, modern and friendly. It's almost a "capsule" hotel, like Moxy properties. For a single individual or a couple, it's all you need and the SLU location is great.

Cool hotel in Seattle
Self check in was easy but it would have been nice to have been welcomed by a hotel representative in the process. The room was nice, bed super cozy. Fun to be able to control the “mood” of the room via iPad. Hotel is close to restaurants, coffee shops and the Space Needle.
