Guest Review of the Metropolitan Hotel Vancouver
May 24, 2011
We stayed with a group one night pre-cruise at this hotel. Our entire
group was very happy with the hotel! We were greeted promptly and our
luggage taken from us as soon as our cab pulled up to the hotel. All
employees were polite, well informed and professional.
Our room was on the 14th floor. Hotel and room were spotless. The
bathroom is large with a separate tub and shower and had plenty of
Molton Brown amenities - shampoo, conditioner, nail file, body lotion,
seamoss bath gel, mending kit and shower cap and magnifying mirror and
hair dryer. The closet was large and there was a mini-bar and coffee
maker in the room.
Our room had a king bed, juliet balcony, desk, 2 chairs, 2 night stands
and a table and floor lamp. T.V. was not a flat screen. flat screen.
Room had an actual doorbell, which was great for us as others in our
group went room to room visiting. We really did not have a view from the
room - our view overlooked a hotel/mall across the street and it's pool.
It is a 4 block walk to the Canada Place cruise ship pier and there are
a lot of restaurants within walking distance. There is a pool and small
gym onsite.
Check out was a breeze and the hotel called cabs for us to the ship
pier.
Only issue we had was that the Museum around the corner had some type of
outdoor concert going on and we could clearly hear the music in the room
- even the reverberation of the bass. The front desk told us that the
music would end at 11 PM and they were right - at the stroke of 11 the
music totally stopped. Hotel has no responsibility for this, but I'd
request as far from the museum side of the hotel as possible if I stayed
there in the future.
All in all this is outstanding choice if you are visiting Vancouver,
especially pre or post cruise. Just book early, because they are usualy
sold out when the ships are in town!
Room Tip: Request a room as far from the Museum side of the.

We stayed here for several days, booked as a package with our hotel
through Expedia. I don't know the exact price we paid for the hotel
portion, but it seemed quite inexpensive compared to other hotels booked
separately.
The staff were friendly, courteous, and helpful. Doormen were always
there to open the doors for us and a staff member often rushed over to
press the elevator button for us before we reached the elevators. The
decor seems a bit older, but the place is very well maintained and
clean.
The rooms were nice. Note that if you choose a room with two beds, these
are *twin/single* beds. We were aware of this when booking. The beds
were comfortable. The bathroom had a large tub and separate
glass-enclosed shower. The towels were large and fluffy.
The location was great, directly across the street from the Pacific
mall, less than a block from the skytrain station, and about 5-7 minutes
walk to the Vancouver Convention Centre and the waterfront.
I have no complaints about this hotel. It was an enjoyable stay.

Every staff member within the entire hotel was pleasant, professional,
efficient and courteous. The services and 'small things' like free
wireless made my stay extremely pleasant. I've been in a number of
hotels on business in the past 3 months and this was by far the best
experience I've had.
Room Tip: Ask the front desk staff - they're super!

This trip, not on business, I enjoyed another stay at The Met. It's so
comfortable being a boutique hotel and is close to all the great
downtown shopping. Enjoyed a beautiful brunch at Diva and even indulged
in some of the Asian inspired dishes now on the menu. The green papaya
salad made a great appetizer to my crab and spinach omelet. Odd
combination to order... I know, but I couldn't resist!

We used the SkyTrain to go downtown from the airport and it is only
about a 100 paces away from the City Centre terminal. We were greeted by
the doorman and the front counter check in was quick and friendly. We
had a King bed on the 7th floor and it was large and super clean. The
bathroom had to be seen as it was very large and spotless.
There are tons of restaurants within walking distance and it became a
chore to decide which one to eat at.
We got a discounted rate and thought they would give us a lousy room.
Boy were we wrong! Highly recommend!
Used the parking garage as well and the elevator to the lobby was
appreciated. They have free internet and printer on the third floor.
Definitely will stay here again!
