It’s an old construction, beautiful, that needs some repairs … also, they need to add new towels … to make us feel more comfortable or just bring your own like I did for myself ! Other than that, it makes you feel safe and the staff is very helpful in case any problems! I will stay again for sure!!!

Gave us a room which was very far and we were traveling with an elder . Elevator did not work and our room was in the 4th floor. The personal very kind , specially the young guy. Don’t know who assigns the rooms but it was very unwise give us a room so far, and the room a/c did not work properly.

The only saviour is Erick Arriaga,recent front desk recruit. The others seem disinterested in their work . The parking lot does not appear to be cleaned. Trash all over. 3 star rating is too generous. No restaurants within the block and the hotel serves.mediocre breakfast.

Misleading "amenities" no laundry, wifi bad
Five star lobby. Two star rooms. Falsely advertise laundry on the page - they don't have laundry. I booked this room SOLELY to do my laundry as I was staying in a hostel previously - and would've gone somewhere else had I known. They told me "we have a laundry pick-up service that operates some days, if they're available." Had to spend a whole day walking to the laundromat and back to the hotel with bags of clothes, missed the museum I wanted to see. Wifi was broken. No microwave even though I paid extra for a fridge. How was I supposed to warm up food? Would love a refund as they have misleading information on the hotel page.

Our home away from home in Merida.
This is really a lovely hotel with a good location. Kind of central to all the good spots of interest. Good parking situation too. Like everywhere they are having staff shortages but the staff they do have work really really hard to keep everyone happy.

Nice hotel with friendly staff and great location within walking distance of square and restaurants. Staff very accommodating as our checkout time was 12:00 but our bus didn’t leave till 2:47 so they kept our luggage and let us use facilities until we had to leave.

I really wanted to enjoy this hotel but I wouldn't stay here again. My toilet didn't flush, so I had to constantly fiddle with it to fill with water and reflush. It was kind of yuck. The shower was dirty when I checked in so I had to clean it with wipes I packed. It's a little bit out of the way from decent food and entertainment but not too far. The bed was SUPER comfy though. Satin bedding was not changed which included the pillow cases which is not sanitary. The rest of the cotton bedding had been changed and smelled clean and fresh. The turn down was great! Customer service was excellent and the pool/garden is gorgeous!

MOST HORRIBLE HOTEL I HAVE EVER STAYED AT, DO NOT STAY HERE!!!The reception staff were lovely is the only thing nice I can say , the foyer was clean but the rooms look clean yet the bedside lights were covered in dust, no towels, shower curtain was mouldy, states has room service, they don’t, states has a spa, they don’t, states have a swim up bar and two restaurants, they don’t its a cafe at best that is only open 7-3and the restaurant staff are very rude, don’t give you change just expect it as their tip. Awful overpriced hotel. The only exception is the receptionist Sophia whom is lovely, friendly and helpful. WORST HOTEL I HAVE EVER STAYED AT AND UNBELIEVABLY OVERPRICED,DO NOT STAY HERE

The building is beautiful and well maintained. Clean except for pool which is also cold. By the pool is an odor like sewer, not overwhelming but constant. Water in bathroom sink has sulfurous odor. They give you 2 small water bottles per day. Must pay for more. Can get twice size for same price at Oxxo. Restaurant only open until 3pm. Food quality poor. Bar not well stocked, not even decent chelada. About 3 blocks from restaurants. Closest block to hotel a little sketch. Linen quality poor. Young desk clerk helpful and friendly. Others not so much. Left early. Refund for unused days not forthcoming. Entire operation seems like they need the money.
