Recommended 100%
Pros:

This hotel is close to everything you'll need. The bed was quite comfortable, and the entire place was extremely clean. Love the breakfast offerings, which vary every day. Their front-desk crew is fantastic, including German, Rafael, Josue, Geraldo, and Gabriel. Music, drinks, food, a grocery, a pharmacy, the best restaurants nearby, and trips that may be done on foot or by bicycle rental.
If you are private, this hotel has a large open patio at the 4th floor with a beautiful view. They also offer a good bar and great alternatives at the restaurant.

Excellent stay with kind staff, good food, and strong security, but an unfair minibar charge at chec
Cons:

Overall, we had a very good stay. The staff was very kind, the food was delicious, and we felt safe throughout our visit.

The only negative experience happened during check-out, when we were charged USD 40 for items we did not consume. It appeared that the housekeeping team may not have removed or properly recorded items consumed by previous guests. We were shown photos of whiskey bottles that the hotel claimed we had consumed, as well as missing snacks from the room tray.

However, nobody staying in the room drinks whiskey, and we did not consume any minibar items or snack packages. I did not want to create a problem at check-out, so I paid the charge. Later, my son went to the lobby to explain the situation, and they showed him the photos.

Perhaps it was simply a misunderstanding, although I cannot be certain. It was the only disappointing part of an otherwise very pleasant stay.

Be careful with hotel taxi
Pros:

Hotel was great. Staff was helpful. Be careful if you get a taxi from the hotel. We had one great driver who was kind and reasonable. However, the one ordered by the hotel to take us to the airport was rude, drove erratically (and I know how Dominicans drive so I am not ignorant to it), and charged me almost double because I did not ask the price ahead of time. Then swore at me when I questioned the price.

Not the best sleeping environment.
Pros:

I do not recommend this place. I felt trapped with my vehicle, and it was very noisy at night. The room only had half a roll of toilet paper, and the air conditioning was not very good.

The breakfast was disappointing and extremely expensive. It was not worth the price and to include it, especially since there are much better options nearby.

I also observed employees talking over the uncovered food at the breakfast counter. There were workers on both sides of the counter, and the ham and cheese were left exposed.

Check-in and check-out were smooth, but overall my experience was terrible. Be careful with the wine stored in the refrigerator, as some bottles had a significant amount of residue at the bottom.

The bathroom was tiny, and the furniture was outdated and dusty. The property felt more like a cheap motel than a hotel.

The only positive aspect is its location, which is close to many of the attractions and amenities in Ciudad Colonial.

I almost forgot! Another issue was the excessive noise from the housekeeping staff early in the morning. Cleaning activities and loud conversations in the hallways made it nearly impossible to sleep past 8:00 AM. Guests should be able to rest comfortably, especially while on vacation, but the noise level was disruptive and negatively affected the overall experience.
