One of the best hotels I've ever stayed at! The location is ideal--just down the street from Times Square, directly across from the Gershwin Theater (perfect for Broadway fans), and with a subway stop just one building over. The hotel also provides luggage storage if you arrive before check-in or need it after check-out, which is a great convenience.
CitizenM is a modern, tech-savvy hotel with a vibrant yet dark, pop-culture vibe. Everything, from check-in to room controls, is streamlined and user-friendly. The rooms come equipped with an iPad that lets you control temperature, lighting, blinds, the TV, request housekeeping and more. The beds were spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean, with pillows that were firm yet fluffy. While the rooms are compact, they're designed perfectly for one to two people, with ample storage space, a closet, and mirrors. Truly, I have no complaints.
My boyfriend, dad, and I also enjoyed drinks at the hotel's two bars, both of which were fantastic. The rooftop bar offers stunning views, great drinks, and a relaxing atmosphere, closing at midnight, while the downstairs bar remains open until 2 a.m., with plenty of seating. Our bartender, Rosio, was exceptional--she made fantastic drinks and kept us engaged with friendly conversation, making our experience all the more memorable.
Overall, an outstanding experience--I'll definitely be returning to this hotel every time I visit New York!
