Wyndham Merida

This review is from my experience as an American who booked this hotel through hotels.com and stayed 5 nights. Pros: We had great wifi our entire stay. Water was hot, and there’s a switch you have to push to turn the water heater on. Room was clean upon arriving. Bed was very comfortable. The room included a working safe to store valuables. Thermostat was great and we could control our temperature in our room well. The hotel is in a really nice location. It’s right next to the historic downtown but not directly in it. This is great because it means you can actually get sleep (the main historic area can get a little loud at night near the bars). The pool and courtyard are beautiful. They have a spa, knock-off Starbucks, and restaurant in the hotel. The hotel has modern rooms while the front entrance is a repurposed historic mansion! Very neat. Cons: Tipping culture in Merida is big and it carries over into the hotel. At times it feels the staff are only nice to get tips. Expect to tip for daily room cleaning and when they first show you around your room. There was a slight sewer odor in the courtyard area. Not sure where it was coming from. Not all rooms are created equal. Some face the courtyard while others face the backside of walls. All in all, this was a very enjoyable stay. The cons are very small (to me) and if I visit Merida again I will definitely stay here.

Close to paseo de Montejo. Staff was super helpful. A small fridge and a microwave in the room wouldnt hurt. We had one/two small issues with safe ... don't use it.

Very quite, great getaway for 2 people. Shopping within walking distance.
