Existen mejores opciones

La habitación no era la gran cosa, tenia un extraño olor y mucha humedad. La recepcionista no fue de utilidad con ninguna de nuestras consultas (dirección de un destino turístico, medio de transporte). Nadie fue particularmente amable o atento

They will steal your money

The hotel ripped us off of $320. We paid with cash for the sizable discount but they still charged our credit card as well. The hotel will not respo d to my requests.

Liked: Staff & service
It’s in Zona near Ballittini Hotel and The Large Church. It has a nice quiet traditional vibe. My room 14, was small but it was cleaned everyday. AC , ceiling fan and TV all worked. No condiments given except one roll of toilet paper and one towel which is not changed daily. Breakfast was Traditional American or Traditional Dominican. The Fresh Juice was good. The staff is very nice. They are there to help but not overbearing. Doors are locked at night and must be let in by staff. PLEASE BE PATIENT and Knock Softly. I would recommend for short stays

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
None of the common areas, including dining and boutique areas were air conditioned, bath not air conditioned. tried to get wash cloths, hand towels and they never appeared. I got a towel run for a hand towel. Never could get anything more than slightly warm water for bathing and showering. The large tub was actually located in an outside environment which you had to go through to get to the bathroom. The large tub was coated with foreign material and had to be washed before use -- which we never did because of not hot water.
