Buena Ubicación pero Habitaciones en Mal Estado
Pros:

La ubicación es muy céntrica

Cons:

Nos asignaron una habitación llena de Humedad, con paredes y techos agrietados de tanta humedad, una habitación que no debería estar apta para alojar huéspedes, solicitamos que nos asignaran otra pero el chico nos dijo que no tenían más disponibles.

A neat and well located boutique hotel but the pricing is deceiving.
Pros:

A neat boutique hotel with excellent location

Cons:

The pricing is deceiving. The advertised price was in dollars but when you come to the hotel, they charge you in Dominican pesos, using their own arbitrary exchange rate that was much higher than the current market rate or the street rate. They effectively pocket 5% extra by using their own exchange rate.

Una ubicación señorial
Pros:

Está muy situada , reservé la suite del 4 piso y está de maravilla, además comunicante con la otra habitación. El hotel lo recomiendo como escapada solo o en pareja, pero sí vas con familia y con muchas cosas te recomiendo uno con ascensor y parking, eso sí, la ubicación es perfecta

Cons:

No hay ascensor, y son 4 pisos, viajaba con un bebé y es muy incómodo, y tampoco hay sitio para para con el coche para dejar las maletas, todo tiene que ser corriendo, y tienes que dejar el coche en el parking que me costó 70 dólares por dos días.
