hotel to explore the city
Perfect location at Times Square, fifth avenue, grand central terminal nearby. You don't need a taxi or metro to go to the empire state building, top of the rock or central park. Clean but rather small standard rooms (normal in New York and bigger than expected), ok for 2 people. No restaurant or bar in the hotel, but given the location that wasn't a problem. Luggage room available. A very good hotel and if we visit New York again we will stay at Mela. Only two negative remarks: poor free wifi (we could not skype) and when you have a room at the street you hear the "zoooom" of the airco of the other buildings.
