We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Parador Del Dominico. We loved the beautiful courtyard and the helpful, friendly staff. The room was clean with two large beds and plenty of space to move around and store our belongings. Nice sink area, and spacious shower and toilet. We appreciated the programmable safe in the closet, and the water cooler in the hall, providing safe drinking water whenever we needed it without creating plastic bottle waste. We ordered the breakfast offered through Expedia which turned out to be a “US American” breakfast with coffee or tea, fresh fruit, bread and eggs with bacon or ham and accompanying salsas. The restaurant was open from 7am to 5pm, enabling us to eat before heading out on tours. The area surrounding included restaurants, parks and shops. It’s a two-block walk to the Ethnobotanical Gardens and the Cultural Museum. The main tourist shopping area runs south of the botanical gardens. We enjoyed tours with Oaxaca by Locals which was 2-3 blocks from the hotel. I would have preferred a nicer view, and recommend calling the hotel with any preferences. The air conditioning was nice. We did not open the windows because they did not have screens. The hotel staff helped us in many ways, including arranging our 4:30 am cab back to the airport.
