Great location in Merida Centro. Walking distance to wide selection of restaurants, stores, and historic plazas. The hotel has character and architectural appeal but is in need of some repairs and updating. My husband and I had booked a premium room with 2 queen beds, but upon arrival were given a small room with one full bed. We spent an uncomfortable first night but were able to change rooms the next day. The hotel and restaurant staff were friendly and accomodating.

The property was more run down than the photos show on the website. The room was pretty but dirty. One of our rokms didnt have ac, clean towels or a working shower. The staff were nice and the restaurant was very nice and served us by the pool. The hotel is in an excellent location however. Overall we would stay again.

Just okay

Great customer service and location but condition of the room and bathroom was very poor. Cannot control AC temperature asked for a portable fan. Shower head broken water coming out everywhere. Not much toiletries just shampoo and bar soap. No tissue paper, vanity set, no hand or face towel. No safe box, had to carry around a huge wood key chain for room key, bigger than my cross body bag Pictures very nice but not the way the room is.

Arrived at 4:30 pm the room was not ready. When we finally got in the room the last century tv did not work, the fridge was also on its last leg. There were no glasses in the room. One of the lamps had a short, I disconnected it.. let’s forget about the seemingly clean floor until you walked barefoot on it. I would pass on this hotel

Great hotel for historians, one of Merida's oldest hotels. Nice restaurant and pool. Walking distance to a few nice parks and restaurants. Air conditioning was unable to cool off the room, even at high cool setting, which is the main reason for the one star rating. If AC doesn't work, that automatically results in one star. No free off-site parking as described in hotel listing. The only parking option was off-site public parking for MXN 50 pesos. There is no on-site parking available, not even for a fee, contrary to listing details.
