The rooftop terrace was great. Beautiful views. The location was perfect for walking the Historic Colonial Quarter. Some great restaurants are right around the hotel. There are grocery stores just a 15 minute walk away. The staff was helpful and attentive to whatever I needed. The negatives, hotel is right next to a busy street and the noise goes all night. Luckily I'm a deep sleeper or I would've had trouble sleeping. And the internet says they have an airport shuttle. They don't. I had to pay for a taxi. Overall it was good for my purposes. A few negatives but it was easy to see the sights of the city. And the ocean was just across the street. There's a couple of beaches nearby but they're small and you can't really swim there. But good stay for the money.

The property itself was a simple hotel. Staff was super friendly and so helpful. They made sure we were comfortable. Property is walkable to la Zona Colonial and to Melacon district. We wanted to be more with the locals and found a nice park a few blocks down. They had awesome food trucks and beer. We enjoyed ourselves and will more likely returning to venture a little further.

The rooms with the patios have an amazing view. It’s not the most modern but it’s comfortable and still a good prize. The rooftop is fun to go have drinks with your friends or family. Overall I really enjoyed it

I loved the peace of being in front of the sea. Beautiful hotel. Is a very good thing they allow you to smoke. I will go back again soon. The employees are very nice. They served me very efficiently. The hotel is clean and secure. Also a very good location, close to the best parts of the city. I recommend La llave del mar

Great but...
The place is great for what is worth, the only problem is how loud it gets in the morning. Even if you get a room in the back.

Convenient, nice staff
Easy to walk to the Old Santo Domingo, supermarkets, restaurants. One has to be flexible, the area is somewhat noisy. Squares and buildings need restoration but it is under way as it is a ruch historic beautiful area with national monuments. La Llave del Mar has a quaint restaurant with a short ibteresting exhibit of preserved rare fishes and sharks. Food was good, I was positively surprised, had a freshly cought rouper with garlic lemon sauce and salad. The staff: Elizabeth, Yonny, Juan and Juan, all friendly and nice service. Overall was a good stay for me.

Acceptable hotel; very good rate on special
The people were very nice and the location was very convenient though the ocean view rooms, being directly above Avenida George Washington, are incredibly loud. The room was basically clean but not spotless, leaving the impression that perhaps the comforter was only washed on occasion, for example.

Good for bed and bath.
It was noisy because I had a room with beach view, which happened to be close to the road too. The Bathroom was not so great. The hotel staffs are very friendly. They speak English. They have a gated parking lot. Your car will be safe. I will stay in this hotel in my next visit.

Decent value, but NOISY
Good staff/owner, older but decent room, nice ocean view, but the traffic noise starting early morning on the highway situate just a few yards from the room was a challenge. The hotel is easy walking distance to the Colonial Old City and Cathedral.
