The Metcalfe is a beautiful hotel. Very clean and room was spacious and updated. We had to switch rooms due to a fan not working. Unfortunately, while the fan worked in the new room, it was still quite warm. I would recommend this hotel except for those weeks where they are switching from ac to heat. Not comfortable at all.

Clean, well located. Polite staff.
Room was very clean. Cleaning staff and front desk staff were friendly and efficient. Check in was fast. Breakfast in hotel restaurant was good / efficient service (a Monday AM after 9am.) Restaurant seemed popular and busy- not a quiet place in the evening. Grocery, convenience store and coffee shops nearby. Major city attactions very near by.
