Horrible smell, finally I had to move to another hotel. I could not even spend the first night. I could not stand the horrible smell of foods that was inside the building and also getting into my room. Also I was not glad with the bed sheets and the bedspread was stained. It was quite a negative impression to see the place having read the rating that is stated in your page. It was not even near to be acceptable the situation, plus considering that it is winter an very cold.

Perfect place to stay for a couple days. Located in a fairly quiet part of the neighborhood, about a 30 minute Uber ride to Times Square!

Stayed 2 nights at Melva Inn and upon arrival i rang the buzzer and no one answered i was outside for almost an hour at 2 am in the morning after a long flight with my 14 year old daughter. I had to call 911 then the police came help me they tried to call the owner of Melva Inn which she answered and was on the phone with the police for a while. i felt so disrespected by her. She did apoligised to me at all. She just i sent you email with th key code. When i finally got to the attic room and connect to the wi-fi i realised she had sent me an email containing the door code at the last miute.

Neighbour hood was great and not too noisy at night. The building was really cool and the room was great for what we needed, the bed was fairly hard so not to my taste but otherwise I had a great experience.
