2. Shuffling sideways to get into bed on both sides and barely anywhere to put a bag bigger than one carry on bag meant we were very glad to be moving to another room.

5. The hotel is nice and clean, rooms are not huge but you are comfortable, and in a city like NY you barely spend time in the hotel.

6. Regis, Hotel W, Regent, Waldorf Astoria and others in New York over 25 years, but I have never stayed at a more over rated (four star) dump than Hotel Mela where the king bed had barely three feet of perimeter of space around it with no room size disclosure but amazing trick photography and many other faults including a 45 minute wait for 'immediate' ice service.
