We stayed at the Hotel Metro three years ago and must have been really happy there then as we did not hesitate to go back this July.
Location is absolutely perfect, being in the shadow of the Empire State Building and a block from 5th Avenue and Times Square and Broadway.
What I noticed this time is that the rooms are getting a little old and tired although they are kept spotlessly clean. We stayed on the 10th floor rear and noticed signs on the 11th and twelth (top) to apologise for any disturbance during renovation work. I guess from that that they are already starting to update the rooms floor by floor.
Staff are very friendly and reception are very welcoming and very helpful.
Breakfast is continental style buffet, help yourself and is helpfully open from 6.30 to 11.00.
I would not hesitate to go back there once the construction work at the back of the hotel is complete
****The Negative****
Building work has started on a site directly behind the hotel and we were woken most mornings at 7.00 am with loud construction noises. I can only imagine that this is going to go on for some months so be aware.
