Can't resist reporting that I was quoted price for weeks lodging in Oaxaca in US dollars in November 2015. When I arrived in Jan 2016 and asked how much I owed, I was told that the price was now ~10% less (in dollars) because of change in exchange rate! It didn't matter whether I paid in US$ or pesos. A pleasant surprise!

You're mostly singing to the choir here, rojo.
This topic had a lengthy discussion a few weeks ago,
and almost all of us expressed similar sentiments.

I have spoken to 3 different people who are not very happy with these hotels that are charging in US dollars. One party reserved a hotel last May but the hotel didn't want any payment before they got here. These non American tourists received a 20 point increase in their rate because of the currency fluctuation. I thought Mexico had their own currency ? Quit ripping off the tourists or this place will die for tourism. Tourist places that get a bad reputation might never recover
