6.7
Not a bad deal for the price but hotel was old. Grounds were nice and the hotel had a tennis court as well as s pool. Rooms were large but in need of upgrades. Overall a good deal for the price. The location was good.. very close to Orlando attractions and restaurants

Best Value for Money

Room is big & comfortable
6.3
maintenance of the property is poor. room services should be improved as there is no feedback for the customer's requirement. located near to many restaurants & shuttle bus provided to the amusement parks included disney, seaworld & universal studio. wi-fi accessible in public area is poor & slow. atmosphere of the hotel is good.

Everything was good, except the cleanliness of the rooms.. I was about to fall asleep, when I felt something crawling on my arm, I looked to see what it was, and it was a ROACH!!!! Please, do not visit this hotel, it's NOT clean, it smells like smoke, and dirty carpet.. All around, grotesque!

This hotel was previously two seperate hotels. One a basic budget motel and the other a slightly more up-Market(radisson). Although supposedly merged as one resort you still check in seperately and it still feels very much divided. However in saying this you get what you pay for!! The Orlando metropolitan is a buget motel style hotel with large comfortable well equipped rooms. It has a good range of amenities including a fridge and iron in the room. They have good wheelchair accessible rooms with adapted bathrooms. Our toilet did not work on arrival but maintainance very promptly and efficiently came and fixed it. The staff were always pleasant and helpful and the room was cleaned daily. The decor is very dated but this is only cosmetic. The metropolitan has everything needed for an active fun filled holiday in Orlando. Afterall who wants to spend a lot of time in their room when there is so much to see and do in Florida. The location is excellant and has ample free parking.
Restaurant Tip: Good range of restaurants near to hotel. Ponderosa and olive tree. I would not go back to tona tomas as the toilets were filthy when we were their on a busy valentines night

Metropolitan Resort

Great location meant we could park up car and walk to nearby bars and resteraunts. Front desk staff very helpful.

The Metropolitan Hotel, located on International drive is ideally placed especially for visitors to Universal and Seaworld with a shuttle service from the hotel.I found all the staff to be friendly and the front desk staff were very helpful when my keycard would not work, they fixed it in a Jiffy Although they provide Wi-Fi access in the lobby the range was limited and perhaps consideration could be given to extending it to the rooms which would have reduced the need for regular trips to the lobby. The free continental breakfast was basic but adequate but unless you arrived soon after 7am there was soon not much left. This was provided in a downstairs room but provided no facilities to sit to eat. The rooms could best be described as tired but it suited my purposes as all I needed was somewhere to sleep whilst I was house hunting. However whilst in the lobby I had a conversation with a Brazilian lady who was on a fortnights vacation and she was online to her travel agent to get a move as she found her room dirty. It suited my purpose especially at the price but I would not recommend for 14 nights, although upon checking in I was offred an upgrade at a fee to change rooms to the newer block of the hotel. I did not see inside but assume they are of a better standard.
Nightlife Tip: Millers sports bar was within walking distance and provided good value food and drinks

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

I will be looking to stay there next year if we get the same deal as this year,we really enjoyed our stay, the hotel is clean and the staff are real helpful and the hotel is in a great place on international drive.
Restaurant Tip: Fish bones opposite the Whyndam hotel (sand lake road)we never had a bad meal.
Anissa S. Solo travelers United States of America, October 31, 2008
Okay for the price

the bed was fine and the internet in the lobby was fine. The hotel registration desk people were nice enough to me. Great price
6.3
I was expecting much 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.
Peter Z. Solo travelers Germany, October 21, 2008
o.k. for the price

Nice pool area; quiet although next to I-drive and I-4; restaurants within walking distance; Orange County congress center 30 min on foot; fairly clean; Starbucks coffee in the lounge.
