Hotel Metro - New York City, USA 

Great value and location
Posted: Sat, Jun 13 2009
Great location, 1/2 block from subway, close to Times Square, around the corner from Empire State building, and 1 block from Macy's and shopping. The double bed room we had was small but clean and we didn't want to spend time in the room except to sleep. I would definitely upgrade to the queen sized bed. We are used to a king, so the double felt small. Bathroom was shower only, but sufficient and again CLEAN. The staff was very helpful. The doorman is a great source of info for restaurants locals frequent. We LOVED the rooftop bar area, we took our Starbucks up and and hang out until it closed. The view of the Empire State building is amazing. They also serve lunch and dinner at the bar from the Metro Grill (not associated with the breakfast service) downstairs. The continental breakfast was suffcient for us, nothing fancy but the basics were fine: Toast, bagels, sweet rolls, oatmeal packets, dry cereal, granola, plain and flavored yogurt, peanut butter, cheese, fresh fruit bowl, bananas, oranges and apples. The dining room, open 6-11, is large and comfortable, but gets crowded. I loved all the different nationalities, lots of European and Asian visitors. We liked to try a different restaurant each night and ate in the Metro Grill one night--it was good pub fare. If you're looking for value and location, the Metro Hotel is a great choice.

Very nice hotel

I spent a week with my daughter for her sixteenth birthday in New York and we had an amazing time. The hotel was nicer than we thought it would be, the room was appealing and was very clean. The continental breakfast was great; we were also able to have coffee or tea any time of the day. The staff was also very kind. The only negative comment for us is that due the fact we went in February the weather was cold on some days, so it?s a bit of a walk to the theatre district. Otherwise the hotel is great! I would definitely stay there again.

Quiet, but tiny room with maintenance issues.

Room was clean, but really tiny. The AC/Heat was a "through the wall" unit that has slid back an inch or two into the room, allowing a continuing blast of cold air to enter. I put towels around it, and that helped enough for me to keep the room, but it should have been fixed before I got there. There were quite a few other maintenance issues - a soap dish that tipped over and wouldn't hold soap, etc. The location in the Garment District is in an area described in a NY restaurant guide as a culinary wasteland, and my walk around the area confirmed that. Not the usual collection of great NY food options.

Good NYC value

Great location. The rooms are small as are the bathrooms.
