The rooms definitely need an upgrade. They advertise having WiFi, but it was very limited and totally unsecured. The location is perfect, but the construction on the road made walking difficult. The pool area was very nice and it was handy having a restaurant connected to the hotel.

Our room was great. We were in older section of hotel and we loved the feel. Staff was very friendly and attentive to our needs as we are seniors. Bistro 57 had excellent food both breakfast and dinner. We will definitely return in trips of future. Room rate was very competitive. There were many evening events to attend in nearby areas that were walkable. Terry from Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri USA GO CHIEFs!! SuperBowl Champions x 2 !!!

Expedia not aware of extensive street and sidewalk reconstruction for two blocks in any direction … leaving poor walking thru construction debris and piles of bricks pipes boards and concrete … it appears this is a major city reconstruction involving roads water electrical that will continue for months .. ps vehicles not allowed within 2 blocks of hotel meaning dragging luggage thru construction .. Casa del Balam staff tried to help as best they could but barricades and debris made rolling suitcases a great problem … this should have been made clear by Expedia and hotel .. ps other hotels on the same immediate area also affected similarly.. I checked out early due to the problem but since booked thru Expedia the hotel was unable to adjust the charges. D. Black PS: Expedia customer service site not user friendly

Street construction was going on but that should be finished in the next month or so. It will be a great upgrade to the street and improve walking safety

Beautiful old Mexican feeling. Lovely courtyard area, small pool area but nice to relax there, staff super friendly and helpful. It’s less than a three minute walk to the Centro Historico square and another lovely park a block in the opposite direction with more fabulous restaurants as well, many fabulous restaurants such as Casa Maya within a couple of blocks as well, and lots of amazing shopping. Loved our time there. Room was a good size with modern bathroom and old Mexican feel, only complaint was that the air conditioning sometimes dripped at night and don’t think they ever came to fix it, but really liked the atmosphere overall. Great restaurant on the main floor where we had breakfast most days. It’s in the heart of the best area in Merida by the historical buildings and was so convenient! Highly recommend.
