Don’t book online, book at the hotel
Window in shower wasn’t covered. Website price was 4x the price they had posted in the lobby, kind of bothered me a bit. Had lots of rooms empty, if I had of known this I wouldn’t have booked online.

good value
The room is large and comfortable. Good value for the price. The breakfast is really good and is free. My only complaint would be that upon arrival at check-in I was told that the hotel's credit card machine is broken and that I would have to pay cash. First, I don't believe that. Second, even if true, that should have been communicated to me before I left the US so that I would have sufficient cash to pay the hotel. I was forced to check out and check into another hotel which accepted credit cards.

Location is excellent (for me). Service is good, reception and housekeeping. Several issues with the rooms. I think the hotel has potential, he just need a lot of renovations. Quite outdated compared to several surrounding hotel properties.

The location is excellent. Right in the heart of everything. The housekeeping and reception staff are all so nice, all shifts. There was something wrong every single day, something is broke/not working. Temporary fix was helpful and temporary but when so much other stuff is starting to have an issue, the temporary fix isn't even worth it. Wifi was iffy. TV channels are limited. Please do better.

The hotel is in a good location in Colonel Zone, near everything..Restaurants, grocery store, night club...The hotel was friendly & welcoming...The problems : I moved to three different rooms because the safes in the rooms wasn't working properly & on the final room I gave up & stayed in the room & kept things in the safe that didn't lock..2) The TV didn't work in the final room at all. 3) the shower had good hot water in the day time, but low pressure & cold at night & there was no cover on the shower head, so it just shot out..The rooms where spacious & clean..overall the place needs some upgrades & would take another chance on them in the future.

The Hotel
Expect things to be difference. The air conditioning, the safes, the furniture. The hotel is at best a 2 1/2 stars. I liked it for the price, and it was clean with large rooms. On level with some Best Western hotels in the states. The wifi worked sometimes, but the system is not designed for max occupancy with many users: however, their Cafe had excellent wifi just around the corner from hotel. Do not get a room on the street side, because it is noisy. Stayed here many times and I have no serious complaints. For the price, you pay for what you get.

Good stay here for tourism.
Was an amazing stay there. The AC was not that great but it is comfortable. IT is right off the conde so it is safe to be around. No problems at all. I would suggest this hotel if you are looking to have a central spot to visit all the nearby attractions.

Brother's Trip to DR
The hotel is located in a busy part of town. El Conde the old community which I knew it would be loud and busy. Had some issues with our reservations as I don't believe they have a computer system to track who reserved what. They ended up upgrading us to a nicer suite in the end at the lower rate so that worked out well. The staff is friendly, and they were prompt when we asked for things. The iron sucks tho, and we did not have cable for the first two nights (but I didn't come to the DR to watch tv). Overall, I would stay there again but don't expect too much considering.

Don't stay here..RipOff's!!
i stayed at this hotel and they are rip off's..I reserved the room online and had agreed to pay cash upon check-in and they still wanted to charge taxes..been staying in Dominican Republic for ten years and always pay cash and no taxes and sometimes get cheaper rate for paying cash..complained to owner and he just let his staff speak for him and said nothing..then sat in hotel lobby to use Internet while staying there, they did the same to other customers..my friends arrived days before me and paid cash and no taxes and showed the staff the receipts for what they paid, they just looked surprised..no other hotels operate like that..greedy staff/ owner

Terrible Hotel
I book this hotel and the air condition didn't work the frig was broken. I was schedule to not pay until I leave the hotel. The hotel suppose to have shuttle to pick up to the hotel They lied they have no shuttle. I had to pay for a taxi 50.00 and when I got to the hotel a man at the counter charge me $69 dollars to stay when clearly I had reservations and that was my deal. They have no telephone service to call the United States and no internet service that it made it hard for me to make contact with the outside world. My debit/credit card was locked and I had to use my fiancé and now wife cell to call the United States to the Bank with cost her 200 dollars to make the call because she had no long distance or international service. They did let me stay from 25 to 28 without no money I had to finally got in contact with my bank on 28 with the use of my wife phone cells, Back when I arrived the first day the air condition work so I sweat that night and no phone and no tv or internet. This went on for my entire stay they finally got the Airconditon working on second day replace my TV on 3 day at my hotel

Beware and take extra money for the room cost!!
Hotel was great and staff were very courteous and helpful. It was conveniently located and area had a security presence. The problem that I did have was booking rhe room through hotels.com to find pit that the room had not been reserved at al althiugj I had a confirmation number. I ended up having to dip into the monies that i originally planned to spend for myself to pay for the room which I had not plannned on doing!!! The desk clerk told me that they do not do business wirh hotels.com which left me a bit bewildered!!! This also happened to a froend of mine who arrived there 3 days after I arrived!!!

Nice hotel, close to many cultural attractions and
I was told to go to their sister Hotel Roma 1 in order to pay by credit card. I was charged $78 for 1 night that I paid by credit card. Expedia should warn future guests that Roma 2 does not have a verifone. Pay cash and the rate is $65. Pay with credit card and the daily rate is $78 per night. My friend from NYC only paid $50 per night for an identical room. I was told that his hotel reservation was in advance. I made my reservation in advance through Expedia. Major problem with incompetent staff who did not know how to transfer a phone call to my room. I was told that he was "new". What nonsense. On another occasion the front desk failed to give me several phone messages left for me.
