Hotel Metropolitan

8/10 Good

"The staff was great, really helpful, and friendly. They also helped us book a car to the airport. The hotel was clean and nice and we stayed at the Mets apartments down the road, which are pretty nice and were clean. The Air Conditioning isn't very strong but does work if you leave it on all day. The main thing is that the hotel and apartments are in a great location right next to all the shopping and very near some good restaurants so it's easy to walk everywhere. I'd definitely stay here again and recommend it to others if they want to stay right in the city and walk to everything."
