"Dutch hotel group CitizenM's Seattle property became its first West Coast location in 2020. With options for completely contactless service and total control of room amenities (lights, heat, blinds) via the app, it risks a soulless feel, but the company's focus on low-budget rooms with high-end touches still includes the service and the building. The rooms here are minimalist but modern and comfortable, designed for someone planning to spend their time exploring the city, co-working on the living room–like main floor, or meeting friends in the lively lobby of this central hotel, which feels cool and interesting. The tiny rooms pack in a surprising amount of features: enormous beds, strong showers, and blackout blinds. The minimalism of the decor fits the audience that prefers comfort over space or trinkets." - Jessica Voelker, Naomi Tomky
