We had a great stay at Hotel Metropolitan. It was walking distance to the beach and a bunch of bars and restaurants. The kitchenette was very convenient, and we appreciated having the toaster oven. Others have mentioned lukewarm showers, but ours were hot - no complaints there. However, as others have said, the walls are thin, so we could hear other guests and hallway/street noise fairly often, but this didn't really bother us. The bed was also VERY hard - I like firm mattresses, but this one took a couple of nights to get used to. Overall though we'd happily stay here again if we're ever in the area.
