Metropolis Hotels with Wi-Fi

Drive by in a hurry, not bad rest environment. The room was clean, the bed was good to sleep, and the breakfast was great! The service staff is warm.

NO INTERNET NOR REPLY FROM ASST. GM Hotel advertises WiFi, but as it turned out, not in the room. Tried several times to activate the WiFi, but no luck. Tried calling the front desk, but the room telephone did not work. Pushed cables in nice and tight, but the phone still would not work. Went downstairs to the front desk and the attendant gave me a code to use in place of my last name/room combo. Went back to the room, still no WiFi access, even with the code. Tried the phone again, no luck. Went back downstairs. Attendant tried the desktops in the lobby. They worked, and she just walked away saying there's nothing she could do. I ended up going out to a local restaurant to use their WiFi. Should not need to do this. Sent a note two days later to the assistant GM. John L. sent me an email with questions; I answered in a reply. Five days later, and still no word from John L. Would have given only one star, but seeing the hotel was clean, raised it to two. Bottom line, I should NOT need to go elsewhere to use the internet. Holiday Inn Express advertises internet, they should provide it.

This was our first visit to Metropolis. The drive from Nashville is just over 2 hours and an easy one. Having never been here before, we didn't quite know what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised. The Harrah's Metropolis is an older hotel that has undergone renovations. It has a nice large entrance and porte-cochere to check in, get a cart, and unload. There is plenty of free parking in two lots. Rooms are large, clean and have air dryers, large TVs, coffee maker, safe, Wi-Fi, and José Eber toiletries. Hallway carpets have seen better days, but they keep the hotel clean as a whistle. Bridges Landing restaurant is on site and there is a sandwich shop in the ******. Best to make reservations for Bridges. The is a small sundries shop for essentials and souvenirs. No pool or spa on site. The town has plenty of fast food options. Best restaurants off site are Corovino Italian and Fat Edd's for roadhouse fare. Both are walking distance from the hotel. The ****** is a decent size with plenty of slots and table games. There is no Laurel Lounge and they do not provide comps for drink tickets. Servers are attentive, though, and walking around with water, soft drinks. There is a bar with sports on for those who want a break from gaming. Staff are all friendly and helpful. You must scan you ID to enter the ******: they enforce this. Town of Metropolis is a slice of Americana. Since it's the home of Superman, the town Square proudly has giant statue of the Man of Steel, which is a great photo opportunity. The town also has a statue of Lois Lane and the Daily Planet globe. Don't miss the Super Museum. Overall, our weekend getaway was a success. We are planning to come back in the fall for golf at Kentucky Dam GC (maybe the weather will cooperate then.)
