It was a pleasure to stay at the Hotel Villa Mercedes. It was clean, quiet, and comfortable—a wonderful restaurant on the premises where we enjoyed dinner and breakfast accompanied by excellent service. The hotel staff was great, although they were unaware of Expedia's VIP access - in any case, they were friendly & accommodating and offered us free drinks. We plan to stay here again.
Staff rocks, friendly and helpful and knowledgeable

The staff is always helpful here. This is an older hotel in small town Mexico, so that should temper expectations of guests. Some parts could use an update, especially adding air conditioning to the rooms.
Look. If I had VIP benefits, I couldn't tell. The wifi was terrible so I couldn't use the TV or my phone without difficulty. The coffe in the room was sun-par and only free one night. The people were, however, very helpful.
At the property, we needed tours, Cesar was pleased to help us out. We needed a Dr. because my wife got sick and Cesar, Jaraby, Yasca, Araceli and Victor were actually eager to help. They hustled to get a Dr to the hotel after hours . Within an hour, a Dr had seen my wife. We are so impressed and moved by the actions by these folks. We are extremely happy to of met them all. Each one of these people played a role in helping us get through any and all issues. Thank you, thank you, thank you all for all your help and support. These guys are awesome!
I stayed there for two weeks. Easy to move around. Hotel is a little dated (part of the charm) and very clean. I was mostly satisfied with the extremely professional, friendly staff. I most mention the following things for your consideration. First, Hotel has very thin walls … you can hear everything from the hallway and the rooms next door. This didn’t bothered me, but you most know. Also, the walking distance to the center (where all action happens) is about 15-20 minutes. If you want to stay there late at night you most take transportation back to the hotel (is safest) and for me in two weeks it added up $ (add these to your budget)
Some of the staff was nice but others were not. We asked the lady at the receptionist for an extra blanket, it was always on the way and it never made it to our room. The first day we also took the wrong way in the hotel and couldn’t find the exit, when asked a laundry worker he just told us it was the wrong way but did not care to give us directions. The hotel is far from the downtown as well which we didn’t like.

We arrived early, due to early flight arrival. We asked for an early registration and they did acommodate us around 12pm, instead of 3pm. They charge me $500 pesos, but the room was very old, looking not the quality I expected or shown by the pictures. Later on when we got our second room, that was beautiful and very clean and confy. I was under the inpresion that breakfast was included so we wen to the restaurant and left leaving only a tip after they asked for our room numbers. Then we left on a tour. An hour later I get a call from the receptionist stating that we didn't pay our restaurante bill. I told her that we were on tour and would return by 6pm and then I would immediately go pay. She responded very rudely that the bill needed to be paid by 3pm. I hung up. Then every day we would try to go into our rooms, the keys wouldn't work. The front desk receptionist said it was because our keys were exposed to our phone and that cause the info to be defeleted form the room key. I approached on the of the cleaning ladies and she told me that everyone was having that problem, that the hotel;s key system was not working properly. I din't link the fact that the receptionist tried to me me feel responsible for my room key not working. Other than that location, facilites, except for our first room were excellent.
excelente hotel para ir de trabajo o con la familia, super honestos, por error dejamos una billetera con tarjetas y credenciales y al darnos cuenta en un par de horas, al regresar la tenían en resguardo y en espera de que fuéramos por ella.
El hotel esta muy bien, sus servicios son muy completos y la estancia en general es fabulosa! descanso y comodidad son caracteristicas que distinguen a la propiedad. El Check In es agil y con una atencion esmerada. Solamente sugeriria que procurasen una limpieza mas esperada, las cortinas tienen telarañas y suciedad.
