Melville has always attracted its fair share of tourists. Over and above its value as a tourist attraction and student hub, Melville makes a wonderful weekend getaway. If you’re looking for accommodation or a hotel in Melville, avoid the bigger hotels in the city, and rather dive into the many guest houses and B&Bs in the area! You won’t be sorry. If a guest house isn’t quite your speed, AirBnbs are always a lovely option.
