"Viajé a Oaxaca por un tema de salud y, aunque no fue el motivo ideal para viajar, la estancia terminó siendo mucho más agradable de lo que esperaba. El lugar era tranquilo y cómodo, justo lo que necesitaba para descansar y despejarme un poco. Lo que más disfruté fue la vista nocturna de la ciudad, ¡ver todas las luces desde ahí fue realmente bonito! Me ayudó a relajarme y a sobrellevar mejor esos días. Sin duda, me quedo con un bonito recuerdo y volvería con mucho gusto."

"One of the worst places I’ve booked on Expedia. Images are deceiving. Room was dirty (the walls in the bathroom were crumbling), bed was stiff, pillows old. I didn’t feel comfortable leaving ANY of my belongings on the surfaces. We were desperate bc of Day of Dead and limited accommodation but I’d recommend staying out of the city over choosing this hotel. At $132 for the night, this was a total rip-off."
