Green Hotel

Hotel Metro was well ahead of the “green” initiative when we opened the doors in 1998. Our guests receive environmentally-friendly stays with bamboo planking and cork public area flooring, gray-beige guest room carpeting made from recycled fibers, all-cotton sheets and architectural features made from reconstituted forest products and recycled glass.

Our green initiative is not only focused on the building, but guests’ and employees’ daily operations. Metro offers our guests use of our six Hampton Malibu Cruiser bicycles and eco-friendly amenities.
