Great location. Great service.
The location was perfect and the customer service provided by the staff was excellent. While my room was small it was clean and comfortable. The only complaint I had was the wi-fi was extremely slow (was only important because I was on a business trip). Overall my experience was fantastic and I would definitely stay here again.

Great find for NYC
Mela doesn't have any frills - no gym, not much of a lobby, weak WiFi, the rooms are small (its NYC). However it is clean and elegant. My tiny rooms was nicely furnished and very comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Put all of this together with an outstanding location and it makes for an outstanding value. I would definitely come back to Mela and would recommend it to anyone.

Time-saving tip:
Short walk from hotel
Starbucks with real WiFi is one block over. Just walk through the lobby of the Mellinium hotel across the street and take a left on 45th street. That is where I went to get work done. The WiFi in my hotel room basically didn't exist.

Dirty
This hotel is filthy. It appears that they have not cleaned the carpeting in years, there was dust on the lamp and all over the bathroom, and when i arrived at my first room and pulled back the sheets, there was hair all over the sheets. So i moved to another room. The sheets were clean, but the rest of the room was dirty as well. This certainly is NOT a 4-star hotel.

Pleasant surprise
Didn't know what to expect of this one. Had never heard of Mela. Was heading to NYC on business. I try to avoid Times Square but needed to be in midtown and this was the best I could find. Really nice place. Clean, comfortable, easy. Would definitely return.

Time Square Perfection
We needed to be in Time Square and this was the perfect place at the right price. Not a big monolithic hotel. Simple but complete, it had everything we needed and the staff were wonderful.

Great Deal for NY
Location is half a block from the square. Very clean. and upscale room. Limited space, but typical NY hotel room. Forgot my wake up call was the only problem, and I was there for business on this trip.
