Just like everyone else is saying-it's an old hotel. Tiny rooms, old windows, old decor, but clean. Really nice lobby, but I wasn't comfortable using the elevator-can barely fit two people. The new pool is a nice add on, but they should start updating their rooms. We only stayed there for one night-don't think we could do much longer is such a small room! Plus, the nightlife is next to none, police are everywhere and alot of boarded up buildings, makes me wonder how safe it is?

We're staying here and are very impressed. The hotel itself is very charming with its old Spanish style. There's a nicely sized pool, rooftop terrace with continental breakfast. and free internet. Location is great right by the central plaza. Parking is available for $3/day just down the street. Definitely a find.

Good hotel, has quite a bit of character, is in the best location in town - totally met the expectations.

Good quality rooms, showers, etc. Nice restaurant on premises. Very good value for money. Reception desk is very responsive and goes above and beyond in finding information you need.

Minor downside is that the parking is in the back, and you have to drag your luggage pretty far back to the entrance - and since you have to turn in the key to the parking attendant, leaving much stuff in the vehicle is not an option. They do not have the porters, so we were a little stuck with our many bags - but the manager was nice enough to help us get our bags in.

Overall, good experience. We stayed for just one night, and would stay again if we are back to ponce.

Ponce rocks and Melia is incredible. If you like small, old fashioned places with Spanish revival style architecture stay here. sure there is a little peeling paint, but that's all part of the charm. the rooms are spacious with very high ceilings, most with small balconies. the prices are more than reasonable. you get free, unlimited internet usage, a pool, free continental breakfast, and you are right there on the plaza next to the Parque de Bombas and the Cathedral. it was a highlight of our trip.
