Every two years we head to Metropolis to see family. We've been going back to this HIE for the past 12 or so. Usually, 10-15 rooms are booked by our family when we arrive. I can't say enough about the staff. Very friendly, each year we've been, and willing to accommodate early/late arrivals, extra towels, etc. It is a standard hotel room, nothing frilly, but then again, why would you need that in Metropolis? The breakfast is very good. They are quick to replace items that are out. Cinnamon buns are exceptionally good! However, this past summer, their new pancake machine was not working!!! We were really bummed at that. My kids are talking about coming back in two years just to try it! The only other downside is that they often put too much chlorine in the pool. You need to shower immediately after getting out if you don't want to itch for hours. However, that did not stop us from using it three days in a row. Also, open the rear sliding doors if it gets too steamy. I'd recommend Yesterday's BBQ on 10th street. Also very friendly and accommodating. Down near Superman Square, which is a must see too, is Farley's cafeteria. Most of their food is homemade. Not much atmosphere, but you can get some good home-cooked grub.
