Suites de La Parra

The Suites de la Parra is a nice place to stay the only issue was the construction going on. But we did have breakfast and were able to swim at a neighboring Hotel. Once the construction is done I’m sure will be fine. Maggie and Juan were great and went out of their way to keep our stay comfortable and they were very informative.

The staff was amazing. Walking distances from the heart of Oaxaca

El desayuno bastante bueno , la ubicacion del hotel esta genial por que estas en el mero centro de lo importante. Los hostes muy bien educados y simpaticos ambos los hombres y la mujeres y el trato muy bien.

No me gusto que tuvieran los cables de electricidad afuera, sinembargo siempre estuvieron atentos a que no nos fuese a pasar algo y a final de cuentas nos cambiaron al hotel hermano que esta en la calle de Vicente Guerrero para evitar algun peligro.

Clean, staff was courteous, excellent location, rooftop, pool.

Location

We stayed at Hotel Flor De Maria for 3 nights and wouldn’t rush back. I got food poisoning on the first night from the hotel restaurant. The electricity was out for one whole day during our trip. The wifi barely worked as well. Also no drinking water at all at the property and no hot water in our shower.

The room I stayed at with my family was very large and clean. The hotel is family/kid friendly and safe. My children enjoyed the pool and the complementary breakfast, which included traditional Mexican bread and cuisine. The staff, particularly Jorge and Mary, made us feel right at home. The property is at walking distance from the market, restaurants, and the center square.

We had a terrible experience when we stayed at this hotel. There was short circuit at the reception which is super small and is the only emergency exit in the hotel. It happened around 1am and there were NO fire alarms nor smoke detectors in place. My husband wake up when he heard the noise and noticed the smoke that smelled as burned plastic. We evacuated by ourselves the property, with no help at all, as the only person in charge of the whole hotel was the security guard who did not have a protocol in place to take care of the guests. We were in the street in the middle of the night with two kids and nobody helped us until I remember there was another hotel property that is two blocks away, I had walk to the other property to request to be received. In the rush of the emergency, we left our belongs behind which later on the same night we went to recover in the middle of the dark, only with our cell phone light. Some days later I realized that I left my smartwatch, I went back to the property and supposedly nobody found it. I don't trust this hotel at all, as they did not show any care for us during the emergency situation. I don't recommend this hotel to any one. In the other hand we called Expedia, since the hotel did not give us any solution as far the rest of our stay. The staff at Expedia was super kind and understanded our situation, they helped us to find accommodation in another hotel.

By far one of our best experiences while traveling was because the staff at the Suites de la Parra. This group of people are the most friendly, well informed, and hard working we have seen at a boutique hotel. We stayed during a busy festival time, but the rooms are so well insulated that you could ignore everything if you needed rest. Or if you wanted to experience it all, just walk out into the streets to experience the parades, music, and parties, everything is within a few blocks. The views of the mountains are spectacular, and we could see so many of the firework shows. The breakfast was delicious, we never wanted to miss it (which is hard to do, as they serve it for extended hours). We will be coming back!

Hard to be around the facility. No elevators, too many stairs to go from place to place.
