We wanted the experience of staying at a property that had the feeling of why we were in Mérida. This hotel fulfilled that feeling. I believe it was built in 1911 and converted to a hotel 50 years ago. The location is great and the staff was very helpful. I would definitely stay there again.

Not what we expected
The first room was not good. Large gaps in the windows caused the street traffic to be unbearable in the evenjng snd night. Our room was on thd corner with 2 sets of windows. Then there was construction on the street.after indistkng we were moved up to a different room on the 6th floor. A bit better but the AC was more like a fan and very loud.

An ols classic buikding with several beautiful inner patios and a decent restaurant (solid, but don't expect wonders). However, the building is old. No hot water before 6am, and a terrible stench coming out in whiffs out of the A/C at night. "Terrible", because it woke us up. We began a new family joke series about the place being hainted by a ghost of someone who ate too many yucatecan bean with chaya. You'll get it when you experience it :)))

This hotel does not provide the basics. No hot water, no hand towels, no glass to drink out of in room, no safe in room or at front desk, no tissues. No kettle or coffee maker. The toilet seat was broken and the toilet slow. Three hangers. The elevators are ancient and there is very poor lighting in the halls at night. Gloomy. The food and staff in the restaurant were great. The rooms are much in need of renovation. There are some great outdoor restaurants in the park across the street.

Location was outstanding. We parked our car steps away from the entrance. The hotel is located near the best restaurants and a short walk from the main square.
