Hotel Metropolitan

Hotel Metropolitan

8/10 Good
"Didn't realize we were stay 2 block's away from the actual hotel, It was a little hike with little direction. Room was nice, however there were NO heating or AC controls found. The unit had someone else above, and were quite noisy at times, Sounded like they were moving furniture and wearing high heals. Side street where the entrance was, was un-lighted and dark at night. On check out front desk staff were dismissive and unwilling to seem to answer questions about our bill. They were just this is what you owe, never asked how things were, just more pay us an go. Would I stay there again, probably not."
