One of the two rooms we rented had no door to the bathroom (only a termite-eaten door frame). Also, the bathroom sink handles were not shutting-off the flow of water so we had to use the shutoff valves under the sink instead. We had a very late arrival, otherwise we would have left and looked for another hotel. The staff was not friendly or forthcoming (made us feel unimportant to their business). The second room was ok (just average). The use of fragance inside the rooms and very poor ventilation was somewhat unpleasant.

This centrally located hotel was my home for four days in Merida. The room was no frills but it was good, the bathroom/shower was large. The staff were kind and friendly and you could tell they were happy to be there. Short walk to Parque San Juan, a little more to Plaza Grande.. Merida centro at its cultural best. Thanks for a great visit.

The only windows in these rooms are in the bathroom and let out into the interior of the hotel. Meaning when you walk to your room your walk through scent of mixed people poo. Then they had to nerve to say “no smoking” just because I have dreadlocks. A joint would have covered the poo smell that lingered the whole stay.

The rooms we got were clean (sheets and bathrooms). Installations need lots of improvements, updates. One of the rooms lacked of window so it was claustrophobic. Is convening location for those looking to be close to the ADO bus station.

Staff was good, place was okay. Pool needs attention, rooms need a floor mat for after shower, otherwise I'd have fully enjoyed. I didn't like house keeping NOT cleaning room but took my towels AND NOT replacing back, we called reception and no towels we had use beed sheets to dry. Love the place but would think twice to choose again. Sorry!
