Solid value in a very good location
I usually am in NY on business, but took my daughter for a night to see Manhattan. We got a very good price on the Mela and the location, just a block off Times Square, was perfect. The hotel is compact: small lobby, small elevators, compact rooms. It's clean and recently renovated, though there are some threadbare edges, worn paint, etc. Comfortable bed, free WiFi. Staff were cheerful and informal. The location is close enough to the Times Square subway station and the Port Authority that you can save a bit on transportation from any airport and around the city. It's not an amazing hotel but it seems well run, it's clean and (for the location) quiet, and a very good value for Midtown as long as you don't require really big room for a family.

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.

horrible experience
my room was no bigger than a closet, when you open the door you literally fell on the bed. the staff was sub standard. i felt like i was in a jail cell when i had to stay in my room. the only good thing was the location.

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.
