All of the staff were wonderful and very accommodating! However, there did not appear to be many guests. Quite convenient location and perhaps would have more guests if updated? We were disappointed that there was only breakfast / lunch service and no longer evening dinner service. (As a first time visitor to Merida) my opinion is it's a beautiful property that probably could be returned to its former glory if updated and well maintained.

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!!!

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.
