The Hotel Melrose

Clean and quaint. Loved the bar. Confusing at the entrance but figured it out.

I'm spending five months in hotels this year and this was the only one I've had a problem checking into. If the bartender wasn't there I would not have got in. I checked all day for a message with instructions. Every other hotel send messages even though you don't need it. This place you need it. So you have to send a picture of your driver's license and all credit card details to a guy in India. The guy took a break so I couldn't get through, but I was told the fob would work. It didn't so I was locked out. The bartender called the guy and couldn't get through either. Every other hotel without a front desk sent me codes or instructions without sending all my credit card data and ID to India. Plus they actually sent messages before I got there. Anyway. Big room, soft bed, ear plugs given so not sure about staying there on weekend.

Weird how there’s no front desk, but once you get over that hurdle, the bar is good and the bartenders were friendly.

Nice and clean

The check-in process, however, was frustrating. They send a text with a link, but I didn’t receive it until right before check-in. Worse, you cannot actually tap and open links inside a text message the way you can in email. I had to copy the entire text into another app just to extract the link. Anyone who doesn’t know that workaround would be stuck. A front-desk person or even an email with the same information would have solved this. There is no staff on site and no check-in desk. That would have been useful to know before booking. For the price paid, I expected someone to be present—especially because there is a bar. I spoke with someone on the phone who was very nice and helped get the text resent, but a physical presence still matters for safety and peace of mind. I would not stay here as a single traveler. The property has personality, but the self-check-in system and lack of on-site staff make it feel less secure than it should.

Beautiful update to a historic building! I enjoyed the decor and amenities of our room. The system for virtual check-in/check-out works very well and the bar staff are extremely accommodating.

Charming and exceptional decor in a historic building, comfortable quality beds, we were very satisfied. The location was great we walked to a funky breakfast/bike shop joint down the street, we loved the vibe.

Being off Main Street is fabulous. Lovely to walk and things going on. Art music good food Very well done area: community uses as well as tourist We were close to bar but really not a problem

Good location and clean. Indoor common area not impressive and bar closed. Only public paid parking so must get up to feed meters in morning. Check in digitally is a real pain after a long drive. Humans please. Still, nice room.

Attractive and convenient. Probably too expensive for the level of amenities.

Amazing room, plenty of room, Bartender was very helpful on checking. Never receive a text or communication that our room was ready as property instructed, Bartender assisted us with checkin.

Slept great with ear plugs. Comfortable bed. Bar area was loud near my room. Nice they have ear plugs in the room. The check in went ok but was a bit of a hassle.

This hotel is really cool. Right downtown, neat decor, nice appointments, comfy beds. Loved the little touches. Only dumb thing is the parking lot is paid, which in grand junction is comical.

Charming and hip!

Good

The whole vibe. The bar was intimate and wonderful. Staff were very helpful. Downtown location was very fun.
