My wife, daughter and I recently had the pleasure of staying in Hotel Mela in NYC near Times Square, a convenient location. The hotel is managed by Desires Hotels and it shows. Right away friendly, competent staff took our luggage and efficiently checked us into our rooms. The rooms are large by "Big" Apple standards and elegantly appointed. Each room... more

Although this place was fairly new and nice, I found that they will try to take advantage of you and rip you off if they can get away with it. After checking out, I found that they had added almost $200 to my bill - which I did not owe. It took three phone calls to finally fix their mistake... more
