“Comfortable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

I've stayed here a number of times, every time I travel to Merida. The staff is very pleasant and accommodating. The breakfast buffet is superb with many traditional Yucatecan dishes - you can ask for huitlachoche quesadillas at the egg station. The rooms are clean and nicely appointed with flat screen TVs, free wireless internet. The pool is lovely with the exercise room looking out towards it. In front, the Arboleda outdoor restaurant buffet has cook to order stations and the seating area allows you to relax under large trees with live music. The weather is perfect for outdoor eating. There is a small mall across the street, convenience store on the corner. Other fine restaurants such as La Pigua are walking distance as are McDonalds, Walmart, Chedauri (grocery) along the famous Paseo Montejo lined with colonial mansions. The next traffic circle down has a huge bas relief Mayan sculpture that is iconic for Merida (that is also where McD and the grocery are).

“Moved For The Better to Holiday Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

We started our trip at another hotel near the Holiday Inn Merida but discovered quickly that the pool was situated such that it never got one ray of sunshine and that the air conditioner in the room was moody. After a few days we decided to relocate down the street to the Holiday Inn. Their pool is fantastic, the room was spacious and with more aminities than the other, more expensive hotel and the large fantastic fitness center faces the pool. The staff was very helpful and gladly spoke English if necessary. The Holiday Inn Merida is in a perfect location but without the noise of other nearby hotels. The hotel is very tranquil just like the Yucatan. Great value.

“Very nice hotel in a good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2011

I've stayed here a few times in the past and have had no issues at all, while there. The hotel is located near some very nice restaurants and the staff is always helpful, as well as courteous.

“Fantastic!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2011

person found this review helpful

Just arrived at this hotel while on a tour of Mexico and this has to be my favourite hotel so far. The staff have been friendly and helpful which is a welcome change from what I've experienced of Mexico in general. The rooms are very spacious with huge canopy beds, large TV, safe, iron, coffee making and a very nice bathroom. The pool area is lovely too and a welcome break from the heat. The room service menu has a good variety of international and Mexican cuisine at reasonable prices. Haven't had the breakfast yet but it is a buffet so should be similar to the other holiday inn recently stayed in, and that was really good. Location is quite a walk from the main centre though but not too much of a problem as i'm only here one night. All in all a really great hotel.
