Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The breakfast food selection was good. The room size was average (not big, not small) Good location, close to the city center, walkable.
Negative: The thermostat for the room AC unit was malfunctioning. The first night, the room temperature wasn't comfortable. It was not possible to set the thermostat to the appropriate temperature. The second night, the AC thermostat worked ok after I let the front desk know about the AC issue. The carpeted areas in the room need an upgrade. The window glass (inside face) wasn't clean.
Summary: My stay was good, but not a excellent as I was expecting for a Melia hotel.
