The Hotel Melrose

I booked the hotel based on the photos - liked the decor - and the fact it is located downtown. I named the hotel "the robot hotel", because there are no humans present, no front desk, etc. You do everything digitally, and use your phone to register, open all doors - in/out/room, and text or call for any needed assistance. I'm not gonna lie, I was annoyed that there are no luggage carts and there are steps to get into the property. I was already assigned to a room, first floor, which I hate - although it was a good thing as I had a large bag (two week trip to different temperature areas), and there is no elevator to the second floor. My in-room safe did not work, and I wasted time on the phone with the customer service person before giving that up. There is no ice machine, although they do leave a small bag of ice in the fridge at check in. The Melrose is cute, clean, hip, well -located, there is a fun outdoor patio area, a bar attached, and there is parking in a pay lot next door. Truthfully, it was a fun experiment, but give me a human on site.

Great if you don't mind a no contact check in, smaller rooms but in a great area Grand Junction within walking distance of a lot. Really great rooms that feel much different than your typical corporate chain hotel. Sadly I was not able to visit the attached cocktail lounge that looked excellent.

Excellent experience at The Melrose. Love the design, the bed was super comfy, the amenities are top notch and it’s right next to everything downtown.

This is a small but very cute boutique hotel. It is decorated very dark and moody. Has a really cute little bar with a great bar staff. It was hopping there. There aren’t any staff at the hotel. You check in online and that is where you get your digital keys on your phone. Comfy bed, room has everything you need! We enjoyed this hotel!
