The Mision Oaxaca is a real bargain! Clean and comfortable, it feels like a much more expensive place, and the courtesy and treatment is 5 star. Staff are all very friendly (although English is limited). The room we stayed in had a lovely view of the mountains towards downtown Oaxaca. The breakfast buffet is good (though more vegetarian options would be nice), and the pool is lovely. The only downside is the pool (which is supposed to be heated) was very cold except for one day. They turned the heater on, but I think their water thermometer is broken. Hopefully that will be fixed soon. Highly recommended for a calm and peaceful stay just a 10-15 minute cab ride outside the centro,
