Hotel Metropolitano

This hotel was probably quite nice in the 1970s but it has fallen significantly. Problems included: * When we called in advance, they assured us they had hot water. They did not. * The rooms are supposedly equipped with lock boxes for valuables. The first one did not work. They brought another, and the key broke in the lock when I tried to open it. They said they would bring another but it never showed up so we were left without a lock box. * The included breakfast was weak. Unripe watermelon followed by adequate scrambled eggs. * The location is good and bad. It's in the city center, but the center is somewhat decrepit with homeless people sleeping in the park. * Four remotes are required to operate the television. An employee explained how to use each. In the end, the television signal kept fading in and out and we gave up. On the plus side, the air conditioning was very strong.
