The Melrose

The location is ideal!!

I wish I had known to ask for any room but 2C. Having to leave my room, lock it, or put pants and shoes on in the middle of the night to go the bathroom was frustrating. I wouldn’t stay there again if I got that room.

Cute and quaint and very comfortable bed!

Bannister on the left side of the stairway needs tightening. feels like it could become easily dislodged.

Super clean. Nicely finished room. Liking the funkiness of the old floors.

The location was fantastic - a walk to the beach and to everything in town. Accessibillity was great.

Not much. The water (eventually) did get hot and although the bath towels were small, there were 3 of them. (I'm trying to find positives here!).

A pokey little room with NO facilities in the room whatsoever. Not even a bedside light - you had to get out of bed to turn off the light and then stumble back. (Oh ... wait a sec ... there was an empty 'fridge too...). Not something I suspect the owners can do anything about - but the water pressure in the sink was poor. It seemed to take FOREVER for the hot water to run hot ... mind you, when it did, it was hot! The one thing they COULD change is the way the plug in the sink worked - or in this case, didn't. (This was Room 2B - go and check it!!) As far as "communal" facilities are concerned, the only thing I tried to use was the coffee maker. Not successful. After gurgling for what seemed like 5 minutes, the system identified an unusual water pressure, instructed me to perform a clearance & then run a clearing brew! There were no other instructions - and of course no-one to ask. I gave up. I was VERY disappointed as the tap water frankly tasted weird ... and it was a 10 minute walk to the nearest café to buy a morning brew.

The room was very small including the shower ....... the toilet bowl was so close to the shower a large person would not be able to use it. The floor was very slanted and there was a step into the bedroom you would not notice. The bed was only a full size bed for two people. The coffee machine had an error code and could not be used.

Very clean. I had asked for a lower level room at the last minute and they accommodated my needs. It is an old house but was well furnished.
