That should fit nicely, perhaps slightly on the smaller side.
I'm 5'5 and I ride a 15" Hardrock.

Posted this on your other thread as well.

How does the bike feel to you, that is what is important. Hopefully you didn't order a bike on-line without knowing wether or not it was going to fit.

Not to be a smart ass but if you already bought the bike it is kind of late to be asking opinions on fit.

I remember reading an article that suggested you have 2" of clearance on a mtb frame. That being said...listing your height alone is not really enough info to determine if a 15" frame is ok or not. What is the geometry of the bike? What is the standover height? What is your inseam lenght?
I'm 5'8" with a 32" inseam; I ride a bike with a 31" standover height.
