Palihotel Melrose

My stay at this hotel was marred by several discomforts that need attention. Firstly, there was constant music from the lobby/restaurant starting at 8 AM and lasting until 7 or 8 PM. This, coupled with the paper-thin walls, made it easy to hear other guests sneezing, coughing, and even having clear conversations. The room’s dark green color further dampened my stay, creating a depressing and gloomy atmosphere. Additionally, the absence of controlled air conditioning in the rooms was a major inconvenience. The central AC system, being out of my control, left me unable to adjust the room temperature to my comfort. The room design also lacked practicality. A tiny “bar chair” served as a nightstand next to the bed, which was both impractical and ineffective. Moreover, the lack of charging outlets near the bed was a noticeable oversight. The hotel’s location on the main street introduced further disturbances. Constant noise from passing traffic, honking, and a visible homeless encampment from my room’s balcony were distressing. To add to these issues, the Wi-Fi connection was unstable and kept disconnecting, which was particularly problematic for me. Attached is a picture illustrating some of these concerns. Overall, these aspects significantly detracted from my experience, and I hope the hotel management will address these issues for future guests.

The rooms are too dark but comfy bed and pillows. it is very loud all day, especially if you're facing the street. During the day, the room service ladies are too loud. The ear plugs dont help.There is no microwave or extra space in the fridge to not have to leave your room. The restroom door is glass, and there is a skylight, so you can't keep the light from coming in, and having a completely dark room parking was the WORST. There is no direct access. You have to exit the hotel and walk around to an alley to get in. No phone for direct contact to reception. Everything is through your phone, like the website for guests. The only good thing was the girl and guy from reception they were very nice and helpful and another guy nicely dressed, probably the manager he was also nice. Also, it's a good thing there is a mini market across the street literally steps away.
