My wife and I stayed at the MET 11th February 2012. We entered the hotel to find a very modern quality Lobby. Upon checkin at the desk the staff member dealing with us smirked as he told us we were in room 605.
When we arrived on the 6th floor there was a smell that you would expect to find in an old seaside bed and breakfast.
The room was very outdated. In an old hotel such as this it can be expected that there would be some original features but this was too old. My wife immediately pointed out the mould and dead flies on the flase bathroom roof (photo supplied) The net curtains were very dirty and the window frames were in a state. (photo supplied)
In an attempt to get on with it we stayed in the room. The heat in the room was unbearable the whole night. The heating in the room was not turned on but being in what appears to be the loft space its very hot. My wife did not sleep for most of the night, sitting in a chair next to the sash window that only opens 2 inches wide. The room expierience was the worst my wife and I have ever suffered and this room makes a mockery of the 4star hotel rating.
In the morning we were eager to leave the room. We did enjoy a superb breakfast in the modern ground floor of the hotel. The staff were friendly and helpfull. The food was the best I have expierienced in a hotel. It is a huge shame that the rest of the expierience was so bad as I believe there are actually some nice rooms as the leaflets picture..
Customers need to be warned prior to being allocated the substandard rooms in the loft.
