8/10 Very Good

Difficult to rate. Comfortable beds!
This is hotel is difficult to rate for so many reasons! First the beds were 5 star! Three of us all slept wonderfully! Our room was spacious & we loved the storage areas. There is a large pool on the roof and nice views, but no shade and only 3 chairs & a lounger. After that there are several things that bring it down to a 3 rating: the building is old and stuffy, to cover the smell there are excessive “plug-in air fresheners” everywhere! We unplugged ours in our room as soon as we arrived! Once we opened up the bathroom and let things air out a bit it wasn’t over powering. The bathroom doors shouldn’t be closed up between guests! There was musty smell until we allowed air flow. We were fortunate to get a room with an outside window. This building had a previous life as an office building or other purpose. There are many rooms that have a window to the hallway and I don’t think to the outside. We did not eat at the restaurant. We explored other eateries in the area.
The hotel is a great location on popular Paseo de Montejo. Lots of history here, mansions to visit, restaurants to try, very walkable and safe. We have been to Merida before, so this is why we chose this hotel for the location and the discounted price. If you have a car, there is easy access to the parking garage and the elevator. The elevator numbers however are one number different than your floor; another quirk. There are several Kavia brand hotels in Mérida. Would I stay here again? Not sure.
