if you love art deco and boutique hotels, but are not put off by deferred maintenance, you may find the Metropolitan fun. I fell in love with the building and the area here it is located, with all the neat restaurants; strolling is fun. Street party noise and racing autos on a Saturday night kept us from sleep....Sunday night was much much quieter; we slept! Our room, #206 was on the street side. It's a charming room with great, QUIET air condioning. Beautiful, big TV with lots of regular TV, Netflix, etc. Nice kitchenette. Bathroom needed a deep clean where wall tile was concerned and tiled floors corners, as well. Beds and bedding were excellent. Host, Tracy was always available to help with all we needed; which, I am sorry to say, included an unbearable odor from the bathroom sink. We will not be back, but we are older, and sleep may be more of a priority for us. Maybe the rooms toward the back would be quiet....Ask.
