A very pleasant stay at Metcalfe Hotel with excellent service. This was our second visit, and we especially enjoy the beautiful restaurant and café in the hotel. The modern lobby is a delight and perfect for spending time. This stay also surprised us with a thoughtful turndown service that made the evening feel special.
