It's not right in the middle of downtown, and the parking can be a little daunting. However, the property is super cute and charming, and the staff are friendly. Considering the other lodging options in the area, this hotel is a very good value and I wouldn't be surprised if we stay there again in the future.

Very unique, lovingly and thoughtfully restored old building. Sound insulation not good but customers are nice and quiet. Office is closed 11am to 3 pm. Wish they can figure out a way of checking in on line and depositing luggage inside before 3 pm.

I love love love the Metro hotel This was the first time I stayed in one of the air strings, and I have to say, as fun as it initially was an excited I was to stay there, when we got back the smell from the toilet/plumbing was so bad I could barely sleep. And we couldn’t open the window so we had to sleep with the door open, which felt a little odd. But I would definitely go back. I just wouldn’t stay in one of the air streams.

Cute hotel with a good proximity to restaurants. Well decorated and offers very tasty coffee. We had a problem with the AC but the staff addressed it quickly and even came back to check if it was working after it was fixed. We really appreciated that.

This is a great boutique hotel. So many creative and artsy touches made it fun to stay there. Super convenient parking and short walk to downtown. Be sure to get the $10 for all you can eat crepe breakfast. Also great coffee, pastries and hard boiled eggs. This place is special.

Nice spot!

Very cute spot in a charming old building pretty darn close to downtown center. Run a little more like a hostel (front door has a code and the kitchen is open to utilize when the cafe isn’t open) kitschy little room that was very cute. Note the in-room coffee isn’t free though! Overall a great stay for the 1 night I was there

Loved this property. Highly recommend.

Metro is a beautiful, eclectic property that takes excellent care of their guests. The grounds create such a peaceful and calming space. The pet chickens are adorable and were fun to observe. The French-themed breakfast and design is a delight and has a warmth and welcoming to it that really sets a person in a great mood. The staff were thorough and responsive even though we really had no significant issues or concerns. The room was very comfortable and felt more like a home than a hotel room. Even though it sits on a busy road, it was quiet. It was an easy walk or drive to everything we needed in town.
