Hotel Mela Times Square

Muy bueno!

This hotel is disgusting. The rooms are tiny, which is understanding considering the location. When I walked into our room, I thought it hadn’t been cleaned yet, but to my surprise THAT was their “clean”. The bathroom had hair all over it, the walls had random yellow staining which looked like urine. The floors were dirty and so were the doors. The bed was made up with one deflated pillow only and you had to ask for more. You basically get a sheet on the bed and one more to cover yourself with. No mattress cover, fitted sheet, or a comforter. Don’t stay here for your own health…

We forgot to take one of our luggages when we checked out. The Mela hotel staff (Alan and a Wei) helped us to find our luggage as it was. We had a gaming console in it and it was returned. We are very grateful for the hotel’s help!

We just returned a couple of days ago from our 5 night stay at Hotel Mela. In truth, we didn't arrive with super high expectations after reading some iffy reviews, but I can say without a doubt that our expectations, or lack thereof, were exceeded. You really can't beat the location of this hotel, particularly if you're looking to be right in the center of the action in NYC. While we read that several other guests noted unclean rooms and an unpleasant smell, or room was spotless and besides a slight underlying musty odor (which I think can be expected in such an old hotel) there were no issues. Staff was friendly and cleaners did a great job cleaning the room each morning and making the bed. The room we received was spacious, with a lounge area and a separate bedroom and ensuite bathroom. The only thing I think they could improve is having a thicker 'comforter' on the beds. There was just a double sheet and no comforter ( not sure if this is just temporary). This wasn't a huge deal, as we were able to adjust the heat in the room accordingly, but if you are someone that likes to sleep under a thicker blanket, perhaps bring your own along! Overall, this hotel was everything we hoped for and more and played a huge role in a truly brilliant trip!
