One Oaxaca Centro Hotel
Courteous staff, clean room, and the complimentary breakfast was quite good Walking distance from the Centro Historico and Barrio Jalatlaca. Excellent dining options nearby, as well as food markets. My one dislike is that the room and bathroom were too compact. But overall good for the price.
