The Metropolitan is very well located in a secure and clean area. The train is quite near too in case you need to go to Los Angeles or nearby surroundings . You can go by foot to the beach, it's just around 5 blocks. You have good restaurants around like the Thai District just in the other corner (That one is really good). The suites - I was in the Queen studio, the bed is comfortable, and the room has a lot of light.
For the people with light sleep probably the steps from above, or the music coming from the "drink and paint sessiones" downstairs could be a problem, but in my case, I was even tempted to attend one painting class, it seems they were having a lot of fun.
In any case, I had a really good stay at the Hotel Metropolitan.
Thanks!
