My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Metro for four nights recently, from Monday 5th to Friday 9th April. The Location of the hotel is undeniabley great, just a 2 minute walk from 5th Avenue, empire state building etc etc, this is the hotels major selling point i believe. In terms of the hotel it is very average indeed, i guess in NYC you have to pay top whack to get a decent room. The room we were allocated was on the 8th Floor was tucked into the corner and was the smallest hotel room we have ever had. I appreciate that in one of the worlds most populated cities space is at a premium, but the room was a broomcupboard, no word of a lie. The shower room was equally pokey with no air ventilation unit and no window that could be opened thus making it very hot indeed. In actual fact both windows could not be opened and given the fact that New York was experiecing a mini heat wave with temperatures nearly 30 degrees it made sleeping difficult. We found the staff unhappy/bored looking and not the most approachable. All in all im glad that we didn't spend much time in the hotel due to the great weather, as it is very average indeed ( 4 out of 10)
