Reviews
When we just arrived at the hotel, she told us that she has no room available in the hotel because something need to be fixed.
Then she said she can book one room in another hotel, 8 minutes away by walk. We knew she was lying cause there were still rooms remained in booking.com(we booked with this website). We had no reason to be refused to stay, and no reason to walk 8 minutes for another hotel, so we left the hotel and booked another nice one.
Anyone who wants pleasant stay in santo domingo, please do not try to book this hotel.
The main entrance door was locked and jammed many times and i waited for half hour before someone came to help.
I would not recommend this place to anyone.
