Alora Hotel Mérida
I only stayed there for one night and really light the location and spacious rooms. It’s really close to most important attractions and historical areas, within short walks. That was the main reason I chose it and didn’t regret it. There’s also inside parking available at a cost, or you can park ...

Parador de Mérida
The property looks wonderful, but staying there was a mixed bag. The beds and pillows were uncomfortable; the layout is confusing and the coffee unacceptable. I wish that I enjoyed my stay there more than I actually did.

Akla Hotel Mérida
Parking is about 300 yds away, although you can unload your suitcases in a tight spot in front of the building just before the hotel. The rooms don’t have phone service to front desk. Only one trash can in bathroom, none in the room.
