Melanesia Holidays from AU$1,371

A/C working fine, all cl4an and good

Location was great - rooms ok in size but if I had paid the top dollar for the 4 nights and not the special price I wouldn’t have been as happy.

Neighbor noise was passed through easily.

The presence of a pool is misleading. Small and literally zero pool deck around it. Also wedged in between three buildings and a giant window to the lobby. Literally a fishbowl with no where to relax in the sun. LA is known for the sunshine. Dealbreaker. Otherwise cute-ish hotel. Old.

We are always impressed with how clean and well maintained the property is. The restaurants can be a little hit or miss…MRKT is excellent, FARM was dismal and disappointing. Johnny Rockets and Capriottis sandwiches were delicious. Trattoria 57 was an expensive letdown. I don’t think anyone enjoyed their selection, everything was over salted or bland. We enjoyed the casino and left with a little extra cash. It doesn’t smell like an ashtray and is quiet in a pleasant way. I had to take a star away because the pool was under maintenance again and couldn’t be opened early even though Las Vegas was having a heat wave with temps in the mid 90s. We went to Mandalay Bay because they opened their water attractions early. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back next year.
