I stayed at Hotel Aurora, October 2022 for 11 nights. Upon arrival we were welcomed with a shot of Smokey Mezcal and lime! This hotel is in the heart of the Centro-Historic district. The city is alive all around, and is a great place to get out and explore The Zocala, Various Markets, Street Vendors, Churches, Taxis , Food Vendors, People Watching, Churro Shop, Mayodomo Chocolate, convenience stores, etc. There is always something going on nearby. The hotel is a local hotel- Mexican Style. I didn't travel to Oaxaca to experience the USA or the "Ritz". The room was clean and quiet. cold AC, fan, flat screen TV, hair dryer, hot shower, comfy bed, an in-room safe to store your valuables, and there was an elevator. The staff were very friendly and helpful, even for those with limited Spanish language skills. Thanks to staff for making our visit a memorable one! read more
