We stayed at te Hotel Metro in Sept 09 on our first trip to NYC. The location of the hotel is ideal with all in walking distance. The view from the roof top area is fab and gives you a feeling on being right in the middle of NYC.
We were normally out of the Hotel by 07:00 am in the mornings and returning around 22:00 hrs and therefore did not really use the facilities. The only negative I would say was the attitude of the staff manning reception. However, saying that the doorman was an absolute star - ask him anything and you were greeted with a smile and he could answer any question posed to him. Certainly a wealth of knowledge.
We walked from the top to the bottom of Manhattan and saw everything. One word of advice if you wish to go up the Statue of Liberty you need to booked well in advance before your visit as we found just turning up - fully booked out.
There are fantastic places to eat but our favour was Virgils just off Times Square and would highly recommend the food and service.
We will definately be going back to NYC one day as felt so comfortable and the people so friendly.
