Well maintained and clean hotel, close to all the sights, and with free parking right in front of the hotel. The parking is a bit hit or miss -- very tight when we arrived, but plentiful later on in the day. There seems to be much more free street parking around the hotel if the street is packed. The staff were very friendly and gave us excellent advice on what to see, prices, where to eat and anything else we had questions about. The only downside is that the hotel bill was settled automatically in dollars, with the card used to hold the reservation (no choice of using another card), not in euros as Expedia states, and the exchange rate was terrible, at least 10% above the daily rate. This seems to be a more general problem in Merida, where at a local restaurant we got charged a similar predatory exchange rate and not given a choice of paying in euros.
