I stayed at the Hyatt Merida in October 2014 and for the price ($98 a night or so) I enjoyed it. The styling of the hotel is pretty generic but everything is clean, and staff was helpful. I enjoyed the pool, which had a nice bar and patio set up with very tasty guacamole and tacos, for a very reasonable price. The club lounge was very pleasant-- nice wine and cheese and crackers, and a very helpful attendant. I had a room on the club floor that was pretty basic (small window, uninteresting decor), but clean. The hotel across the street is more historic, but if you want to visit it you can go to their bar. I caught a tour bus from the hotel to the Mayan ruins and enjoyed that trip (approx 2 hours or so to the ruins).
