Like many 1930s mountains properties, the Metropole has much charm - stained glass windows, furniture in keeping. But a musty smell pervading. The old carpet?
My bedroom was a good size (double), big enough to also fit a 2-seater lounge. The bed was good! All the built-ins were rough around the edges, the whole room needed a re-paint (flaking on the ceiling above the bed was a concern). A microwave would be a welcome addition. Good little fridge.
The games room, library, reading room, all the lovely quiet little nooks and crannies would have elevated my review to very good...until the lift failed. I am 68 and was on the third floor. Worst of all was when I tried to get help with my luggage as I was leaving - no one available to answer my call. Nor anyone at the desk at 7:30 am. I was upset! That left me in a dangerous position.
The shower was great once but not not twice. Second time it was cold. I waited & waited, then washed in less than lukewarm water. No hair conditioner left me with hair that took an inordinate, and painful, time to unknot.
Overall, I liked the room but it was a real mixed bag.
