Motel 6 Hotels in Metropolis

Hotel is convenient and comfortable. But I really want to commend the Day Manager (name unrecalled). On the morning of our departure, some inconsiderate guests had removed the luggage carts to their rooms (hate it when that happens, does not allow sharing). So no luggage carts available, and nowhere to find them. So, the Manager helped us carry our luggage to the car and load. He was most helpful and courteous. He was apologetic for the absence of the carts, but not his fault.

Welcome to our Super 8 Metropolis hotel conveniently located off I-24 and just two miles from Harrahs Metropolis casino. Close to downtown our hotel makes an ideal home base for exploring the official hometown of Superman.

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.)
