the Metro Hotel is no swank, bubble bath, conditioner, shampoo, chocolate on the pillow, blow-dryer in the drawer, 20 towels, pay-per view, hotel stationary, free tea, kind of place.
Nope.
It's basic.
Slightly worn around the edges.
BUT,
for a full size bed, in a safe convenient area, complimentary oranges at the front desk, with a long-term door clerk, back patio, off away from the street noise, with a private bathroom/shower, 13 inch TV, FREE wifi, soap, heating, water glasses, three towels, extra blankets, fluffy pillows, and near a plethora of affordable cafes and restaurants -
kind of place,
All for only around $60 (with tax - it's around $70)
You cannot go wrong.
My mom is visiting from England, and this place has been amazing and quaint. I don't have to stress how she's going to find her way downtown. I'm close-by to her. She's surrounded by many of my favorite places. And most importantly I know she's safe and not spending half of her vacation money on a place to stay.
The bed was a little hard for my liking, but I was so enamored by the quiet, small room, that I was even tempted to book myself in here sometime.
Seriously. (I have a suitcase packed and everything)
Just be sure to book quickly. The weekends fill up fast, and the room rates go up, according to the size of the bed in each room.
