Cons:

It was shabby. Shabby bed linens, only 1 outlet (single not double) in the entire room. Crap paint job. Only accepted cash. Even given the location, it wasn't as good a deal as some of the other places in the city I've stayed in recently.

眠れたら良い、多くを求めないなら場所が最高すぎるのでおすすめです。
Pros:

とにかくロケーションが最高です。
サント・ドミンゴ教会は見えてるし、ソカロも近い。　ADOのターミナルも徒歩圏内。
パティオが美しく部屋が思ったより広かった。
スタッフはフレンドリーで出来るだけ要望をきく努力をしてくれた。

Cons:

コンセントが1つだけ、支払いは現金のみ、シャワーが事前に頼まないと安定して熱いお湯がでない、ドライヤーがない、窓がないetc...

Good value, Great locaction but bring a travel adaptor.
Pros:

Great location close to the city center.

Cons:

Only one plug in the room which a fan was plugged into so if a person brought only a phone and cord to use to charge it they would have to have no fan when the phone was charging.

Decent
Pros:

Enjoyed the closeness to the centro. Definitely in a good location within walking distance.

Cons:

The room they gave us was a bit dirty. Saw a dead cockroach in the entrance of our restroom & spiders on the wall of the room. We just needed a place to stay for the night. Also this property is cash only, which can be an inconvenience for many. No fan in the room like the pictures.
