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.

Merida was OK, with a lot of things closed randomly. A bigger issue was our room, on a busy road and no soundproofing. It was also dated and a bit rough. This place has little charm except for the staff.

This is a charming colonial hotel located in Centro/St Lucia. We also stayed here in 2023. The staff was responsive when we communicated via WhatsApp both before and during our stay. After 3 days of great pressure and hot water, there was no hot water for a day, but these things happen in old historic buildings. Bathroom updates are needed and housekeeping could be a bit more thorough, but we like the place for a few nights’ stay. Recommended.
