Has anyone stayed at Citizen M at Gare de Lyon? Looking to see if it is a good location decent hotel for the price. Just seeing mix reviews online.

I have not stayed there, but do know that others have have had good results with other Citizen M hotels. It's a chain so consider that, but generally most people like Citizen M hotels. I don't know where you saw the mixed reviews, but if you look at Google results, they are rated 4.4. I hardly ever pay attention to the one star reviews, as those are usually about something specific that set someone off.
ETA: Here is a post from this forum that mentions it, but keep in mind it's from 5-6 years back. https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/france-reviews/hotel-near-gare-de-lyon

Staying at Gare de Lyon is convenient because you are right on the 1 and 14 lines, and also just across the river from the Left Bank (with buses or just walking over).
I haven't stayed at the Citizen M but I have a friend who did and she liked it. Sorry not to be able to offer more detail.

I have stayed at the Citizen M at GDL a few times. I always try to get a room there when I have business in Paris. (I usually arrive at GDL).
The beds are very good. By far the best beds I have encountered anywhere in Paris. And a good bed and a bathroom is basically all I need. I have no need for the 25 pillows that I always end up stacking in a corner somewhere...
