citizenM is a bad hotel disguised by fancy marketing. The rooms are generic, prefabricated little hellholes with a toilet directly in the middle of your bedroom. There could be no privacy. My tiny room is how I imagined Winston's room in Orwell's "1984", but with cheap modern materials: lots of plastic, and the sort of imitation wood you might find on the side of a 1987 Oldsmobile station wagon. I will never again stay at this hotel nor with this brand.

The lone bright spot: the barista made an excellent cappuccino.
