Central East Austin Hotels, Austin

"Citizen M Austin pics look super cool online- modern/retro tasteful decor- but, in reality everything is way too small- especially the rooms. We felt like we opened the door to a tiny super modern, cruise ship stateroom or hotel in Japan. It was hard for 2 people to move around the king room. The pillows were set up so one person would need to climb over the other to get out of bed- odd! The shower/toilet is a glass stall in the middle of the small room/ no privacy or space whatsoever. The sink is squished in the middle of the bedroom/ no place to do hair/makeup if that’s your thing. The rooftop bar/pool area looked great in the photos- but was too small and closed by 8:30 pm - the rooms are all controlled by a tabletop iPad, which we didn’t know, so we had a hard time getting lights on/off, shades up/down,.. but laughed about it all afterwards. The staff was friendly, everything was clean, plenty of amenities and things to keep you occupied, if needed. The location was great- close to a lot of great bars/restaurants and parking. We found a street parking spot right outside hotel and paid $15 to park. All in all, if you know all of this ahead of time and are good with it- that’s great! We would’ve liked a little more space and thoughtful room design. "
