Location is great but rooms are like JAIL compared to other hotels close by . Pictures don’t match what you see with both eyes! Staff were kind and helpful expect the lady who did my check in. She wasn’t helpful at all. I’m glad I did not book entire 10 nights at Melia …. After 3 nights I booked at walking distance hotels the Bailey and it was excellent.
