I can’t wait to go back to NOLA and stay at The Melody. The location was excellent. Not in the middle of everything but close enough to be convenient and reasonably priced.

Overall my stay was great except for the check in process. I've stayed at many hotels and if the room is ready earlier than the 4pm check in time they will normally just allow you in. This property (Centric Hyatt) tried to charge us $50 to check in rooms that are already paid for and available. Then to appease us they said if we came back in another hour or so they would basically do us a "favor" and only charge $25. Seems like nickel and diming to me.
