The room was quite clean and well ventilated; I didn't feel the need to use the AC most of the time. The common areas are beautifully decorated. I didn't use the pool or eat the breakfast, which is a separate charge, so I have no comment on them. I found the drinking water situation a little bit annoying. It's not provided in the rooms, so you have to fill one of the provided cups -- cups rather pitchers or bottles, mind you -- from a dispenser in the lobby. Otherwise, I was quite satisfied with my stay.

A Perfect Stay! I had an amazing experience. Everything about this hotel was exceptional—beautifully designed rooms, excellent amenities, and an unbeatable location. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make my stay special.

This is my 3rd visit to Hotel Marionetas. The staff and attention is excellent! The rooms are comfortable and in the heat - the air conditioning was great! I would like to see them improve their breakfast by perhaps adding a few more egg options and tortillas! Tortillas are essential in Mexico!!

We had a great time staying at this hotel. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. Room was clean and comfertable. Breakfast was good. And they even prepared us a breakfast box to eat when we had an early tour, so we could eat on our tour. Wi-Fi very good. As Uber is not reliable compared with Mexico City, staying here is also great because it is walking distance from most of the places to see and eat. Mosquitoes were in each night, so preparation of bug spray or device to keep away mosquitoes might be good to have.

The property is located in a very walkable area and the staff are kind and helpful. Beyond that, the king suite with bathtub and the pool area are very tired. My "white" towels were gray and stiff. The sheets were stained. The bed was comfortable. The pool just looked worn out and uninviting. The Expedia advertising says there is free parking but the hotel charged me 120 pesos (6 dollars). In short, if the price was less than $50 a night, maybe it might have been reasonable. I just think the description did not match the experience.

We had the pleasure of staying at this hotel for 4 days. We absolutely loved the location of the hotel as it was very close to many points of interest in the city, within walking distance but also far enough to enjoy some quiet. Our room was spacious, very nicely decorated, and clean.with the hot weather we loved that our room was equipped with both AC and a ceiling fan. This made it much more comfortable to sleep at night. As far as the staff we mostly interacted with Gabriel the front desk attendant and we loved with attentiveness and the polite manner with which he addressed our questions and concerns. He was super helpful in helping my husband and I reserve a tour to a cenote with a personal driver since it was our first time. Overall, we are so happy with out stay and cannot wait to be back in Merida and this hotel soon!

Seemed like it would be a nice place from previous reviews. Our room was really nice and the air conditioning was necessary and worked well! It was over 94F outside. Unfortunately the pool was dirty and we couldn’t swim. That seems like something that could have, and should have been rectified. I did see that someone else reported this issue. The grounds needed some tending. The housekeeping and breakfast senoras were very kind. No English spoken, which was fine by us and it gave us a chance to practice. No food and drink available when we arrived at 8 pm, but the hotel is within a 5 minute walk of a main shopping street with all you need. Great location No safety concerns. Lovely people. Great country.
