Great location, hotel needs improvement though.

Liked:The website is indirectly misleading. It talks about being first to get bathrooms, phone, etc. but it is currently not up to minimal expectations at all. The water for showers was never more than luke warm. Tub drainage is slow. Some electrical outlets didn’t work. Rooms very small. Took a long time to clean up water in the entry way, which was a safety hazard. Elevator is very slow. Pictures on the website show food and drink but there is no restaurant, not even coffee. There are other small issues I won’t include. Really, it’s great to advertise the historical nature of the building and the great location across from the plaza. But it needs major improvements to be a quality and up to date hotel.

Lipstick on a Pig!

Liked:Melia Hotels have long enjoyed a reputation for outstanding service, 5-star accommodations, and highly rated facilities. When choosing a hotel to stay in Ponce, we decided to stay at this hotel because it was a Melia hotel, and we felt that would mean that at the very least our stay would be satisfactory. Sadly, that was not the case. Honestly, I have never stayed in a worse hotel. The common areas are beautiful, but the rooms leave much to be desired. We did write to corporate, but they told us that this Melia hotel was independently owned. As a customer, how would you know the difference. Unfortunately, all this response did was destroy our trust in the Melia hotel brand; therefore, we will never stay at a Melia property again. Upon arrival, we were given a room that was not only dirty, but that also had structural damage. When we brought this to the reception’s attention, we were told that the hotel was full, and they could not put us in another room. I told them that there was no way that we would stay in the room and that is when we were told that they would see what they could do. During this time, I went on the website to see what the different room options were. While navigating through the site, I saw that I would have been able to book a deluxe king. I told that to the clerk and that is when he said that he could move us to a deluxe queen at no extra charge. We accepted, and the room was better than the first one, but it was far from stellar. We got no WiFi in the room; the sheets and blankets were stained, there was no hot water when I showered, and the light fixture was flashed continually. Additionally, we had been given a towel in the previous room which instead of asking us for it, they came into our room and took it while we were out. The second day we were there, I got to speak to the manager. I showed her the pictures of the room we had originally been assigned to, and she was aghast. At the time, she did offer us a king suite, which my husband turned down because he did not want to move again. Without a doubt, the hotel needs renovation, but I am still at a loss as to how they could have ever thought that it would be alright to put a paying client into such a room. In Ponce, there is the Fox Hotel and the Ponce Casino Hotel in the square if you want some options, and there is always a vacation rental!

A Perfect Gem of a Hotel: look no further than: this is the one for you if you value charm and history and class

Liked:This is a real jewel of a hotel, and I have stayed in hotels on at least 4 continents. This 1895 era hotel exudes loads of charm and class, and the employees are gracious and polite and helpful. The rooms are simple but classic and have all you need. The pool is lovely and the semi-outdoor courtyard patio is amazing. Called Lemón Courtyard, it is gorgeous and tastefully decorated in white and yellow and is open to the sky in the middle and covered on two sides. The hotel historically had a gorgeous restaurant but now it is not in use as such but more as a reminder of past elegance with dark wooden tables and decor. There are plenty of restaurants in the area, several within walking distance, especially good is Mesons and Velons by Dominguez (I may be getting the name a bit wrong.). You will love the Dorado (Mahi-Mahi with Risotto which I enjoyed on two occasions. where they have a small lovely stage for night club performances. The upstairs hallway in the hotel is filled with striking black and white portraits of famous people from long ago who stayed at the beautiful Hotel Meliá. There are also several beautiful boutiques with fashion clothing and even a cigar shop. I am not a smoker but those inclined can smoke their Cubanos in the Lemón Courtyard.
