Low cost, basic with breakfast included. Old place close to everything. More expensive places with trendier, upscale atmospheres are everywhere. Cleaning staff is much more efficient than high-end places I've stayed.This place will get you a longer stay at a very reasonable price if your not picky about everything. Ive been here before and I'll definitely return.

Lovely staff and good location
Good value old fashioned hotel. Comfy beds and great air conditioning. The breakfast was tasty and changed every day we were there, but consisted of some sort of scrambled egg dish and a side of beans, rice or pasta. On our last day there the breakfast included meat throughout and when I told the lady I didn't eat meat she made me a fresh batch of plain scrambled eggs which was so kind. There was also delicious cake, nesquik and cornflakes plus bread and jam. All the staff we met were just so lovely and kind!
The pool is great and because it's a decent size it remains cool and refreshing all day.
It is quite outdated and the shower isn't great but would still stay here again if we came back to Mérida.

The hotel needs an urgent update, the bed sheets, towels provided are old and falling apart. The washer and dryer do not always work, you pay for it and they don’t reimburse the money when they break down. What makes worth the stay is the people who works there, they are underpay but always willing to help and greet you with a smile.

I liked a lot the fact that it is very quiet in spite of it being downtown where thousands of people transit daily. The staff is super professional and polite. The pool is beautiful and is cleaned daily. The room is very fresh and clean. The bed is very comfortable. And best of all the price is budget friendly for a solo traveler.
