Good stay in great location

Very comfortable room with view of the public library. Quiet even though overlooking the front street. Reception and valet were very helpful. Great location for walking around the city. Would stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Staff were excellent. Location was perfect for touring the city. Room was clean. Bed was comfortable. Feather pillows constantly poked us. They need an upgrade. We did not like our windows opening to an inner atrium and having no outer windows. We were in a jr suite and air conditioning never got as cool as I would like in the bedroom. I also did not like the request to tip the staff in the elevator and with the room card. I perceive that the hotel is not paying their staff enough, and after paying a hefty rate for a room, they think I should also subsidize the employees wages by way of a tip, instead of the Metcalfe paying good wages to their excellent staff from the income they make on the room rates I paid.

The hotel overall fulfilled all my expectations. Check in was fast and effient. The room was spotlesly clean and house keeping was efficient and not intrusive. The doorman noted me stumbling, came out and escorted me to my room. I did not sample the food enough to comment on it
