One of the only places that had a/c during a tropical storm. Lovely accommodating staff. And a back up generator in case the storm got worse. It was perfect because they have a restaurant inside and all every store were close for the hurricane so we were able to eat and at other hotels. We weren’t going to come here at first but our first hotel wasn’t going to have services or

Casa del Balam is a great little hotel with good shopping and dining near by. The staff is friendly and parking is included should you rent a car. The restaurant downstairs has live entertainment and good food. Walking distance from several plazas and museums.

Me gusto mucho la estadia, el costo del estacionamiento esta bien economico, el costo del desayuno lo encontre alto. Sobre las facilidades esta buenas, el cuarto es tal cual alarece en imagen tiene un buen tamaño, el baño es bastante viejo pero esta funcional. Si buscas economia y no lujos este es un plan. Recomendado!

This hotel is convenient to the centro historico, it is two blocks from the Gran Plaza and one block from Plaza Santa Lucia. It is an older hotel with a courtyard in the center, typical of what hotels were like in the past. Unique and clean with a restaurant downstairs. The hotel bathrooms need a little updating, but not remodeling the hotel to make it modern because it would lose its character.

Great stay!!! Loved this hotel, convenient and close to downtown Merida. Only problem, A/C unit in the 1st floor don’t work. First night say was pretty miserable considering the over 100F’s weather conditions. 2nd night, management moved us to 4th floor which work out perfectly.

We checked out three hours after checking in. The property and the room are old, dark, and dirty. Hair on the bedding and floor of room. The room was extremely hot and not cooling down. The fixtures in the room were old and “creaky” and seemed ready to break unless you handled with extreme care. Several negative reviews have appeared in the last two months since I booked this reservation. Based on those reviews, I was very concerned about bedbugs. We found a much better hotel two blocks away for only slightly more money. The pictures are NOT accurate depiction of the property.
