My stay at Melrose Place Boutique Hotel was overall good, with a welcoming atmosphere and lovely facilities. The only downside was the initial presence of bugs when I arrived since the windows were left open, which could be a concern for some guests. However, once the AC was on and the windows closed, the issue was resolved.
