Been going there for couple of years. I like the location and staff. But it need update in the hotel. I do,like because simply. A remodel is due. Please this not negative just suggestion….

The staff here is excellent. Joseph went above and beyond for me. This is a small hotel near the malecon and a park where locals gather. This is not some high end removed hotel. Local neighborhood, authentic experience and solid value. The staff make this place a gem. Thank you!

Horrible conditions both inside and outside the hotel. Very unsafe. Cockroaches and dirty room. Stains on the sheets. Mold in shower and fridge. Pictures did not match description. Electrical plugs did not work. TV did not work. Funky smell. Toilet and shower broken. Holes in the room.

Guys at the desk help you as much as possible …

The people smoking in the terrace.

The staff always nice and willing to help.

Excellent staff and very clean

I really enjoyed my stay. Thank you to Micheal Jean for making me feeling more comfortable and for helping me get a new room because the first room I had had a broken AC

On the web sight every thing looks good! but when you get to the room its nothing like the picture on the web

Always helpful

Motel looked clean but room was dirty . Bed was like sleeping on table. Security was good .

Very helpful..

Very nice staff but the place still needs a lot of work. The kitchen sink didn't work and the pots were very old and extremely worn. The shower was tiny and had horrible water pressure. Also, the location is very noisy with street traffic (horns, music, people, etc.).

The staff was pleasant. However the rooms need a lot of work. If you just want a place to shower and sleep this is the place for you. If comfort is important to you then avoid.

There was an overwhelming musty moldy smell in the room 102 from day one. The ventilation fan in the bathroom did not work. The drain in the shower backed up. The fiberboard closets were splitting apart from moisture. I think the combination was the source of the smell. Ricardo, 5 star guest clerk, tried to move me but was unable as they were full. I had to fight for clean towels. The ad says bottled water provided. Well only two bottles for 8 days! Cheaper to buy next door. They did have a wonderful holiday party with free food, beverages, and music. That was the best thing they did. The pool and jacuzzi were clean but not heated. Ice cold water I could not tolerate. Terrace upstairs was pleasant in the morning. I compared it to the Discovery Hotel while I was there and it is so much better. If you get an upper floor it’s probably ok. Discovery had better prices online. I bought a glade fragrance can at my own expense which helped some. I had to spray every 2 hours to breath!

La habitación muy descuidada, muy simple y decía vista al mar y no es cierto, ofrecen un servicio excelente los trabajadores

Good afternoon! We regret the situation, we are not surprised by your comment since since your arrival your words were We arrived in the dirt of the Dominican Republic since you and your companions are from our neighboring brother of the island Puerto Rico, even so they had a 5-day stay without complaints some by you and your companions, for which we will not join your discussions of rivalries between countries, Hugs!
