The facilities were decent, although the laundry and room service options could use some enhancement. Additionally, the games room was underwhelming and didn't quite live up to expectations.

My stay at The Metcalfe was enjoyable overall. The beautiful lobby created a warm welcome, and I was impressed by the staff's friendliness, especially Shirley, who made great restaurant recommendations. The room was comfortable, but I found the bathroom did not meet my expectations for a spa-inspired experience. Additionally, the distance from the parking garage to the hotel was a bit inconvenient, but it didn't detract too much from an otherwise pleasant stay. 🌟

I had a fantastic stay at The Metcalfe. The location was unbeatable, just steps away from Parliament and many great restaurants. The staff, especially Shirley, were incredibly friendly and provided excellent recommendations. My room was an Executive King Suite and was spotlessly clean and quiet. However, the parking situation was a bit tricky and I felt the price was on the higher side since it didn't include breakfast.
