Someone needs to step up their cleaning game. Hair in the refrigerator is gross... Cleaning corners matters... Stains on white sheets is gross... Also, the faucet should not shift when turning it on and off. Little things matter! But I do love the bed and pillows. And the staff is always great.

A well-planned hotel with convenient controls from the iPad located next to bed. Breakfast is great, but a bit expensive. Climate and lighting controls worked well. Free bottled water was nice, but a cup at the sink would be good for toothbrushing. The location is great for BART trains to SFO, Oakland, and Berkeley, as well as buses east to coast. The lounge is great for hanging out and recharging devices after checking out.

I honestly loved how easy it was to book through hotels. This hotel was welcoming, the staff was so good to me. I came in a lot earlier and I was able to get a room before check in and Lindsay was super nice. I went to the bar 2x while I was on my stay here, Sundae was really good, very good conversations along with Rebecca. The whole team was so good! The room was great. It’s small but just enough space. Though, i tried to get to the rooftop and my card wouldn’t let me up there. I would have thought it would be open. I guess not? But other than that. It’s been great! Wish i didn’t have to leave for another hotel. But super good!

This is not a place for grown ups. The rooms are void of basic amenities. You get the basic shampoo / body wash and conditioner. There are communal iron stations on level 6 and 12. No water in the room. You have to go to the 3rd floor. You are told nothing on check in. Staff are there but do the bare minimum. You check yourself in and activate your card yourself to access your room. Attempted to charge me for late check out when I was not informed that check out was at 11:30am. Also, who checks out so early? The rest of the Marriott brand checks out at noon or 12:30pm. Only positive is the super comfy bed.

I love the brand experience. Standard and funky accords the world. I would not stay in these rooms with another person though unless you are only using the room to sleep. It’s really small. Perfect for a solo not for a couple. Sad they had to be acquired by Marriott. Hope they are able to keep their unique style and not get flattened by corporate. Will def stay again in San Francisco and elsewhere. Great location.

Great breakfast with handcrafted coffees. Fruits, especially fresh berries SWEET and fresh! Room small but rather functional. Bed firm but that’s how I like it. Bedding with starched cotton duvet cover - wonderful! That’s what I’m used to from hotel bedding in Europe. Front desk super nice to store my luggage before my meeting and on the last day of my meeting, after early check out in the morning. Easy 11 minute walk to Moscone Convention Center. Now I’m going to watch for citizenM Hotels!

This hotel is perfect for solo travelers. I've stayed at citizenM many times before in different cities and it never disappoints. I wouldn't choose if I were traveling with my wife but when I'm traveling alone for business or anything else I love citizenM for the modern, quiet and comfortable room. It's tiny, but for solo travelers that's all you need. The only complaint I have is the blackout curtains was always broken in every room I've stayed so far. It always work going up and down, but it's always off the tracks on the side so it lets light pass through. It's a pity since it's such a good quality mechanism, but it's either not installed correctly or doesn't stand the abuse from customers.

The entire property is amazing. The staff however go above and beyond in every way. When i first checked in i was having difficulty understanding the tablet climate control in the room. The supervisor on duty took the time to come up to my room and walk me through the entire process.

This is but a single example of the amazing service they give. I was there for a week and everything from the common work area to the breakfast spread were above and beyond what i expected.

5/5 would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience as far as the property and its staff is concerned. Dropping one star only because the periphery has significant number of homeless people especially in the night which can at time feel unsafe.

Very friendly and supportive staff overall!

The hotel has a great location, close to BART stations and Muni stops, making it easy to get around the city. Supermarkets and shopping centers are also nearby, so shopping on foot was convenient.

The staff were very friendly and helpful during check-in and check-out. They even offered to store my luggage before I asked.

The room was clean, and I could control the air conditioning, TV, and housekeeping requests using a tablet, which was very convenient.

Loved this economical hotel. My only issue (which is possibly with Expedia and not the hotel) is that we paid for a “high floor” room but none was available. Will stay at CitizenM again but will book direct next time.

It’s great for a couple or an individual business trip because rooms are great but very small. Like an indoor cabin in a cruise . But super comfortable, trendy, modern with all the tech gadgets. Great location, Easy access to train station, fisherman’s trolley, union square is right behind . Security too.. I will definitely give it a 10/10 and would stay again

Atmosphere is very different from standard hotel. Very chill and laid back. Early check in was not an option despite hotel not seeming to be to busy.

Tax problem after prepaid booking, will try a $18.52 charge when you get there, subpar lobby, no body soap/wash in the shower, pretty stiff pillows and rough bedding.

The room was clean and the added features with the iPad was plus. I do caution guest that the rooms are small and suitable for 2 people. However the most disappointing thing was the parking. The hotel does not offer parking and the recommended garage was $46 a night and closed at 10pm. So if you do not want to risk parking on side of the road or getting towed the next available/closest garage was $70 a night.
