I stayed at African Pride Melrose Arch from 10/23/24 - 10/28/24. This was actually my 3rd time staying at this hotel. I can honestly say it one of my favorite. Although my favorite manager (Pinkie) was not there, it still was an amazing stay. Bella, was so gracious, warm and friendly at check-in and check-out. Answered all questions that I had. The renovated Aduna Bistro was wonderful. GuGu and Andy were accommodating with seating. Q, provided phenomenal guest service while taking meal request and making sure that I was ok with the meal and not missing a beat to make sure that I was ok. As stated before, this is an awesome hotel in my opinion and will continue to be a favorite. See you nexr year African Pride Melrose Arch. - Mr. Adams

Other than location, you're not getting value
Even when staying at a hotel a quarter of the price, parking is free. And yet you have to pay for parking at the African Pride. Also, the rooms are not sound proof. You will also have to endure two hours of noise as house keeping cleans and talks in rooms around you. You can get a breakfast pack, but coffee is not included like it would have been if you went to the breakfast area in the morning.

Very nice place to stay. It would be good if they could look into moving the current smoking area. It is very close to the outdoor dining patio and smoke blows to that ate while you are eating. A few area are in need of refurbish. I really love the location.m, and the very warm welcoming staff.
