Looking for places to stay in Mexico (various)
Hello,
We're two moto riders looking for places (reccomendations) to stay in the following:
San Blas
Morelia (is it worth it?)
Oaxaca (and Monte Alban - or we can visit that from Oaxaca)
San Cristobal
We're basically making our way along the coast, so any coastal suggestions are welcome too.
Cheers,
Kevin

Hotels????
San Blas has a number of hotels , like Patolos Hotel on the main street coming from Tepic can't miss it. Hotel Morelos on Batallon south of plaza is cozy and cheaper.Both secure parking.
Morelia is worth it ,Hostal Allende at 843 Calle Allende is downton , tourist hotel.Hotel Villa Capri on Av Madero 206 west(Mex 15 in far west end.) is very nice , and economcal too .
Oaxaca has lots of hotels and is the place to stay if you want to visit Monte Alban because that is only a ruins site. Hotel America at 413 Aldama is my regular stop. no noisy bars or discos nearby to keep you awake till 6 am. If you want something opulent try Hotel Paris 521 Trujano west of plaza, the owner manager is a motorcyclist would enjoy talking with you.
Hotels are where you find them. Starrt looking early enough and know enough when you should consider not pushing your luck.

Thanks Sjoerd, we're at Villa Capri right now... Just came back from a ride/dinner into town. Nice place indeed. We'll stay here for a day tomorrow.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
