This hotel is 15 minutes from the city center. It was in a quiet part of the city. The bed was awful. The staff was friendly. It is not a "resort" of any kind and does not promote itself as such. It's equal to a 1970's motel 6. If you're looking for a cheap place to sleep ($71 US) clean, with no bugs and basic services... this is it. The breakfast buffet (not included in room price) was great.
We had a taxi take us to Monte Alban (Victor was an awesome, very well spoken, english tour guide at Monte alban, $20) and then return for us 3 hours later. He then stayed with us for 4 hours of stop and go through Tule and Mitla... total cost of $60 US. It was well worth it. If you're going to get a taxi by the hour be sure the hotel requests you a newer, cleaner car with A/C. It would be worth the few more minutes wait to ask for taxi # 202.
