My golf travel league of 24 golfers was booked at The Metropolitan for an overnight stay on Friday, May 10th. We have ben going on this outing for a number of years and have always stayed at a Comfort Inn in Zanesville, Oh. It was ok, nothing special, but we were there for the golf anyhow. I'm not sure why... More

To be honest, I did not expect this hotel to be as amazing as it was. I stayed for a period of 2 days. The first day that I arrived, the staff were super friendly and helped me check in late at night. The rooms were super clean and modern!

We had stopped coming when this was the Longberger hotel. We heard that it was remodeled and what a difference! Very clean, updated rooms and great customer service. There is a very nice bar/restaurant with outdoor seating. Would definitely recommend for price, location, and value. Didn't try ( or wasn't told about) continental breakfast so can't comment on that. Only... More

I just spent a weekend at an convention at the Metropolitan. There were about 75 women there for the convention, plus a number of other guests in the hotel. The staff was helpful and attentive. The food was better than normal convention fare. The layout of the hotel was perfect for a small convention. The only downside I was was... More

Seldom does one stay at a hotel where you feel like family. This hotel has been recently renovated and there is definitely a pride amongst the staff. I found it to be very clean. The room was spacious and inviting. The refrigerator was a plus. Excellent WIFI. The bones of the bathroom seem to be the originals but the upgrades... More

The Metro is a nice place to stay, especially for the price. The staff was very friendly and the rooms were clean. They offered complimentary breakfast in the restaurant, Element. It was okay. The room's kitchen was full of cupboards but there wasn't anything in them. It would have been nice to have at least some dish detergent because the... More
