agradable
Pros:

el hotel esta bien, el personal agradable y estan atentos a ti, limpieza bien, servicios bien, esta bonito el hotel, lo estaban remodelando y esta quedando bonito, pero la cama estaba algo incomoda, y lo que la verdad no me gusto para nada es la zona, esta muy cerca del centro pero la calle esta fea, hay comercios ambulantes alrededor y de noche ya esta muy solo y feo. SI LO RECOMIENDO, porque queda a 5 min del zocalo y esta bonito, el desayuno tambien esta muy bien, rico y variado, solo la zona no me gusto. si quieren economizar y estar en un buen lugar este es el ideal.

Cons:

la zona y la cama estaba algo incomoda

Buen lugar para conocer Oaxaca
Pros:

Esta muy bien ubicado! Cerca a todo a pie. Fuimos al zócalo con mucha facilidad.
Todo el personal del hotel es super amable. Nos dieron muy buenas recomendaciones para comer, para salir y conocer.

Cons:

Quizá es mejor aclarar que la opción de buffet de desayuno es dependiendo la ocupación, aunque estuvo muy bien el desayuno.
