Lovely staff and good location
Good value old fashioned hotel. Comfy beds and great air conditioning. The breakfast was tasty and changed every day we were there, but consisted of some sort of scrambled egg dish and a side of beans, rice or pasta. On our last day there the breakfast included meat throughout and when I told the lady I didn't eat meat she made me a fresh batch of plain scrambled eggs which was so kind. There was also delicious cake, nesquik and cornflakes plus bread and jam. All the staff we met were just so lovely and kind! The pool is great and because it's a decent size it remains cool and refreshing all day. It is quite outdated and the shower isn't great but would still stay here again if we came back to Mérida.

The hotel needs an urgent update, the bed sheets, towels provided are old and falling apart. The washer and dryer do not always work, you pay for it and they don’t reimburse the money when they break down. What makes worth the stay is the people who works there, they are underpay but always willing to help and greet you with a smile.

I liked a lot the fact that it is very quiet in spite of it being downtown where thousands of people transit daily. The staff is super professional and polite. The pool is beautiful and is cleaned daily. The room is very fresh and clean. The bed is very comfortable. And best of all the price is budget friendly for a solo traveler.

The hotel was absolutely beautiful and plenty of sitting space for socializing and eating. The pool area was gorgeous. Lots of space for multiple families. Restrooms were clean and spacious. I honestly have nothing bad to say about this hotel. Everyone was friendly and helpful. There are a few times we decided to eat at the hotel and dinner was great. Enchiladas were my favorite and kids loved the burgers. Armando can make a mean margarita! They were so good and occasionally he would dress it up with the watermelon candy and/or Mexican flag! I say occasionally, because I drank a lot of them:-) We stayed seven nights, and every day our room was cleaned, and fresh towels exchanged for dirty towels. If there was one thing I could change about the room it would be the lighting. There were plenty of lamps. However, some lamps were a bright fluorescent light, and some were a cozy soft light. The cozy soft light throughout the room would have created a nicer ambiance. I would stay here again for sure!!!!

Good value in center of Merida
The value for the money at the Doralba Inn is very good. The rooms are spacious compared to most and the showers have good hot water and water pressure. Wish they were more generous with the number of towels provided but laundry must be expensive as other hotels only give one per person too with no hand towels or washcloths. The breakfast is included and the scrambled eggs are good. There is an abundance of coffee and bread and jam. The pool is in a very nice courtyard surrounded by the rooms. A stand of palms filled with exotic local birds makes this courtyard a real oasis from the loud and crowded Merida streets. The cost was very reasonable for the size of the room, pool area, breakfast and private parking. I would definitely stay there again. Interesting and clever touch is the mirrored windows which allowed us to keep the drapes open to see the pretty pool courtyard. Friendly service and a decent fast food restaurant make the Doralba a gem.
