Had a great staycation at The Metcalfe

The team was incredibly kind and left special surprises for my friend for her birthday which was very appreciated. We had an issue with plumbing in our first room which was efficiently dealt with and we were moved rooms without a fuss. Beautiful setting, convenient to walk around downtown. Breakfast at cocotte was delicious. Would definitely stay here again.

The hotel overall fulfilled all my expectations. Check in was fast and effient. The room was spotlesly clean and house keeping was efficient and not intrusive. The doorman noted me stumbling, came out and escorted me to my room. I did not sample the food enough to comment on it
