We had a short 1-night stay at the Melrose Arch between flights and had a wonderful time here. We didn't use the room service but the service at reception was very friendly and quick. The location was great because it is located in Melrose Arch - a small and safe community/mall with shopping, restaurants, and bars around. Because we were... More

Also had a nice big bath and rain shower, which was very welcome after an 11 hour flight! Food was also very good - lots of selection at breakfast,... More

This is an excellent hotel with an atmosphere that is funky and quirky. Rooms are well-appointed, but they reflect unusual decoration and edgy design. Perhaps the average traveler won't feel exactly "at home." That said, all service is out standing and the location is secure. There are good restaurants and shops in the surrounding gated complex.
