I stayed at the Melrose with a girlfriend over a long winter weekend. It is perfectly situated so that although in a quiet street you are within walking distance (5-10Mins) of Central New York and allit has to offer. The staff were friendly though not falsly so and were happy to help with restaurant bookings and directions. I had a double room which had a mini HIFI, large TV Fridge, En suite etc. It was a good size for the two of us, clean and non smoking. I recomend this hotel for short weekend breaks and will be staying there again.

The value of staying at the Melrose

I would stay at the Barbizon every business trip (3-4 times a year for a week per visit). What attracted me to the Baribizon was the location (close to the park), the neighborhood, and the gym. I usually would take advantage of off season pricng or deals as a week visit can add up.
When the hotel was changed to the Melrose I was very happy with the changes, in particular, the Library. But what I also saw was the price jump $100-$150. a night and the gym cost rise to $18. It made me really look at the value of staying at the Melrose.
Suddenly the window units that hissed and knocked when you had the heat on, the sterile room decor with the military beds, the slow elevators, and the lack of good restaurants in the neighborhood didn't add up for the extra cost.
I have since moved across the park to a hotel on 72nd. and Broadway. I have found the service to be excellent, the beds alot more comfortable, and the neighborhood and restaurants to be incredible. I always enjoyed my visits at the Melrose and became friends with several employees, but, as I mentioned, I don't see the costs of staying there worth it.
Good luck with everything.
