Holiday Inn Express Mérida By Ihg

“Most Excellent!”

This was my first stay at this property, and I will make this my go-to hotel in Merida! I was there for 16 days... It is basic in its appearance, but I assure you that the rooms are great! The staff are equally great! And even though this hotel is situated along a main street, I never heard a sound in my room. It was truly one of the quietest hotels I've ever stayed in. But more than all of that - this being a Holiday Inn Express, you may be reluctant because of the quality of the "free" breakfast. NOT THE CASE HERE! Their breakfast bar is fresh scrambled eggs (not prepackaged). Three types of Fresh Cut Fruits every morning. Real plates and real silverware - and the staff clears your table! The hotel also offers a Jura coffee machine that is available near the lobby, 24 hours a day. The hotel is ideally located within a short walking distance of the Zocolo - the main plaza in Merida. Along the walk are two colonial churches, numerous shops, a park, the Cathedral, and the Govorner's Palace, as well as numerous restaurants. Also, if you rent a car, there is free parking in a public lot. The only caveat is that it is 1 1/2 blocks away. But the hotel staff is always available to retrieve the car for you. The rooms are high tech in the way they are set up with the key. The keycard is blank (for security reasons). You will need to use it to go up on the elevator. When you enter your room, make sure the door is closed tight or an alert will sound letting you know). Also, as you enter the room, you will see a slot on the wall, near the door, with a bright blue flashing light. Slide your keycard in the slot, and all of the lights come on. You can adjust them from there. Here is the other caveat: when you leave the room, and remove he keycard from the slot, after you close the door, all of the power in the room goes out - so if you are charging devices, they will stop charging.

“Average Holiday Inn with very kind staff”

The hotel and services are a Holiday Inn Express average. This hotel has a small but nice swimming pool. The difference was made by the graciousness and kindness of the Staff. Poor breakfast. Average parking place and fitness room
