Unlikely a need for another good review, but for this hotel stay, it'll be worth the time to write. Very clean, good people, comfortable bed and convient. Close to the ship terminal. You really don't need a car, but if you do I have one, I've added some tips for your stay to keep your cost down. Service was on mark. The pool requires a visit as well as the strong jets in the spa. The gym is generously packed with equipment. You have access to many cable channels, not that you will need it. Internet is included. You will need a jack, but they will provide it if you don't have one. I suggest to bring a long one so you can surf from anywhere in the room. There is no Wifi. There is still a lot of construction in the city as they are preparing for the 2010 olympics, but if you are an early riser, you will not have a problem.
WONDERFUL hotel

We stayed here for one night when returning from an Alaskan cruise, and our only regret was that we weren't staying for more nights.
Very elegant hotel, well-maintained, lots of nice features (pool, fitness center, business center, etc.), etc. We had a "luxury suite", which was absolutely beautiful - king-size bed, large, well-eqipped bathroom, small galley kitchen area, high-end toiletries & furnishings, etc.
They were also very accomodating for a very early check-in on real short notice. They said the only problem was that they would have to give us a room in the back side of the hotel - that ended up having a great view also.
Great location - within walking distance of Gastown, just off Robson St., very close to the art museum, cruise ship terminal, lots of restaurant & shopping choices.
We did not have eat in the restaurant, as it appeared to be very $$$ and we were still stuffed from the cruise.
We would definitely stay at this hotel again and would highly recommend it to others!

This is a wonderful hotel. The location is very convenient, there is a bus stop just steps away, and many sites are within walking distance. The staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful. The rooms are well appointed and spacious and the balcony, even without much of a view, is a nice addition allowing one to get out in the fresh air without leaving the hotel. The separate, glass enclosed shower is the best hotel shower I have ever experienced! I will stay here again.
Nice Quiet Smaller Hotel and Good Value

The Metropolitan is a great location and a very nice hotel. The staff and concierge were extremely helpful and very attentive but not so attentive that they are pests. The restaurant in the hotel was rated very high although we did not go there for dinner as there are hundreds of great restaurants in Vancouver and we wanted to get out and around. Location is perfect, just 5 minutes from the high end shopping district and we walked just about anywhere. Taxi fares are about $ bucks to just about anywhere you are going to go in the city. Pool is indoors and not that large but the hot tub is nice after long days of walking. Exercise room is pretty good although you might want to bring your own heart rate monitor as some machines were older and the sensors were worn a bit. In short, I would highly recommend staying at this hotel as the rooms were comfortable, the bathrooms were nice and large, Tv is flat screen and we had free internet with the Travel agency package.
