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.

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.

Nunca hubo servicio de limpieza, no hubo tanta comunicación de parte de recepción hacia nosotros. No habían ventanas me sentía muy encerrada, el aire acondicionado un poco viejo no sabía cómo usarlo y nadie me explico, no hay elevadores. Dentro de lo que cabe bien pero falta mucho servicio al cliente.

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.
