“This hotel strikes a balance between affordability and access to Oaxaca's attractions, though some aspects, like the thin walls and occasional plumbing quirks, temper expectations. The shared kitchen and family room options add practical value, especially considering its spot in a quieter part of the city near the Zocalo. For travelers who prioritize budget and location, it presents a reasonable base.”
