nice pool,eficient security,friendly front desk staff,large rooms .

I think if they sold Disney tickets it would be more convinient for hotel guests,and also reduce the breakfast price

coming to metropolitan was a very nice experience for me .When we come from a tiring flight the fist thing we want to do is take a shower and rest!! and the check in girl was so friendly and received me with a big smile that gave an immediate good impression of the hotel.She did the check in in 3 minutes and promptly showed me where my room was.Rooms are also large and comfortable.security also found my lost camera. I HIGHLY recommend this hotel !!!!

Nightlife Tip : the hotel is located near the best restaurants of Orlando:Tony Romas ,Ponderosa, Olive Garden and many others

the bed was fine and the internet in the lobby was fine. The hotel registration desk people were nice enough to me. Great price

hardly had any cell phone reception in my room. No internet access in the normal rooms.

I was expecting a real dump because i read all the reviews online about this hotel. But i didn't pay alot and i wasn't expecting alot either. It was fine. It served it's purpose and I didn't mind staying there at all. It's definitely not the quality of the Peabody hotel but then again i paid a THIRD of what the Peabody charges. I had a fine time. When the ice machine was broken (both were), the reception area was nice enough to fill my ice bucket.

Nightlife Tip : Howl at the Moon is an AWESOME piano bar and everything on I-Drive will get you SOMETHING you like. there's something for everyone.
