Very beautiful, updated, nice people, and clean rooms i stayed just recently november 2008 and i have to say that it was the prettiest hotel it had so much character to it and the managers michelle and jeremy i think were so nice and helpful. this place is nothing bad at all or dirty. i think it is a wonderful place grand junction. if i had to complain about anything would be that it was a little cold just because i guess i didnt listen on how to turn on the heater but other than that its great! they provide food for you to make and the other guests are extremely nice. well thanks for the wonderful stay and great company!

Very poor We stayed here in 2002 on a mountain biking vacation. It's the roughest hostel/hotel I've ever stayed in. The rooms were of a poor standard. One the second day, somebody thoughtfully left a turd in the corridor outside the rooms. A mystery dog got the blame, but we certainly didn't see any dogs. However, we could keep our bikes in the rooms and we were only a minute's walk from the Rockslide brewpub! Hopefully, they refurbished the hotel since then.

Great i called and made a reservation -- the woman was very nice. i guess her family runs the place or something. this web page actually isnt theirs that they set up so the prices are different. the private room is actually $55.65 usa currency but made no difference. they are a hotel/hostel so they do things a little different from other hotels i have been to. i got there around 9 and the place has security systems and i felt safe! they were especially nice to me -- they had coffee in the morning and a big kitchen that everyone can use. they provide free food to guests -- they just have to make it themselves, which was cool. the room was very homelike and beautiful. there back patio had lots of flowers and kind guests. they do not allow alcohol or drugs and i could tell right away they actually cared who came in and out of the hotel! i had a blast in grand junction and they made my stay very nice!

I stayed here for two -- eehhhh, one night, Nov. 2005 and had a great time but -- I called ahead to book a bed in a dorm and gave my credit card number. My train from denver had a delay of eight hours so i called again to say i would not arrive before midnight. The lady said it would not give a problem. When i arrived they didn't open the door so i sat down behind the building outside in a chair! After an hour i went for a short walk and found a greyhound bus station where it was warm. In the morning i went to the hostel and they apologized for the mistake. I was pissed and told them so. After a short sleep i had a great time with the other guests (mostly longterm, all types of mostly men), weather was nice, nice garden in the back, coffee. Grand Junction is really The wild west, and if you come from europe, here you will find a little piece of the real american way of life!

I phoned the Melrose and made a reservation, leaving my credit card information with the clerk who took my reservation. My wife and I arrived at the Melrose at 7 p.m., tired from a mountain bike ride. The front door was locked, but the lobby was full of ladies who I would describe as dressed for the "evening," if you get my drift. The clerk told us that that he had given our room away because he thought we were going to arrive an hour earlier. Standing in the seedy lobby made us glad we weren't staying at the Melrose, but every other room in town was sold out and we had to drive a half hour to find a room. I would recommend not staying at the Melrose.
