The Metro Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff were wonderful. We had the double bed room on the front of the building. Thank goodness because the only way to get cool air was to have the windows open which made the noise level very loud through the night. The location was perfect, surrounded by great coffee and restaurants, and walking to surrounding neighborhoods full of things to do. If you stay, highly recommend getting a larger room with good window access."
