Fodor's Expert Review Fiesta Americana Mérida
Paseo de Montejo 451, Mérida, Yucatán, 97000, Mexico
This popular choice, a branch of a dependable Mexican chain, attempts to evoke the grandeur of the mansions on Paseo de Montejo with colonial accents, plush armchairs, gleaming marble, and a stained-glass ceiling in the lobby. The subdued rooms have extras like balconies, bathtubs, hair dryers, and coffeemakers, but be prepared to pay surcharges on Wi-Fi and bottled water. Some rooms face the street and are a little noisier; others, though quieter, face a dull inner courtyard with the hotel pool. Downstairs you'll find a mall with stores selling souvenirs, crafts, and clothes; a couple of restaurants (including a Chili's), rental-car agency offices; and other services. Occasionally there are events, including dinner shows and dances for children (inquire at the front desk).
