My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were a little tired and in need of redecoration, with views of the next building's wall, and lacking chairs. However, the service was friendly and helpful overall, except for one small hiccup with the front desk manager. The location was incredibly central, surrounded by cafes, restaurants, shops, and historic sites, making it very convenient. The dining experience had its drawbacks, but the breakfast was good with special considerations for health safety. The facilities were decent, offering what was necessary for a comfortable stay.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms initially shown to us overlooked the square, which we felt would be noisy on a Friday night. However, the beauty of the rooms and common areas, especially with views over La Plaza, left a lasting impression.

The hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms in the old part on the 3rd floor were quite tired for a 5-star hotel but maintained a high standard in authentic Spanish style, providing a comfortable and clean stay. The service was exceptional, with staff being extremely helpful, friendly, and welcoming. The location, next to the plaza in the heart of the historic center, was ideal for exploring all the major attractions. The dining experience offered good quality, variety, and attentive service. Overall, a solid option with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were beautifully decorated and comfortable, offering a lovely view over the central Plaza of Merida. However, they were a bit outdated with no TV upgrades since the 90s and poor signal reception. The service was excellent, with attentive and kind staff who even waived off our dinner charges. The hotel's location in the heart of Merida was perfect for exploring the city but was a bit warm for sleeping at night. The dining experience was delightful, with a wide range of choices, although some items were overpriced. The facilities were adequate, but there were some limitations in the room amenities.
