After viewing this site and the other review, we arrived to the Fiesta Inn Oaxaca expecting to find a hotel in a residential area of the Central Historic District. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The hotel is located on a busy street, sandwiched between a Sam's Club and a Kentucky Fried Chicken. Across the street is the only McDonald's in Oaxaca. The premises is actually located several miles from the tourist center of Oaxaca with no sidewalks. So many loud buses passed by the front of this hotel that I could not see myself walking under any circumstances. Please look at a map of Oaxaca if you don't believe me. We decided not to stay.

Without knowing where to stay in Oaxaca, Mexico, we decided to give it a try to the Fiesta Inn hotel,since it was recomended in Puebla. Well, it was a bit difficult to find, since it is located in a residential area where you did not expect to find a hotel, besides it´s facade is the same as the buildings arround, in other words, it maintains the beautiful architecture of old mexican homes. Once we were installed we found it perfect, every one in the staff were excellent and pleased to help us. We were within a short walt to downtown or the center of Oaxaca. Althoung, it is a "chain" hotel it has the atmosphere of a independet hotel we recomend it highly.
