The shower is cold, the breakfast is poor and the room is noisy. Everything else is just adequate. All little things. The toilet paper holder is upside down. The roll falls off. Don't touch the desk, it will fall apart. No trim around the door. Peeling wall paper. Mismatched furniture. There's no attention to details. What are the things like that you can't see. I'm in my regular hotel now. It was full. I know why Hotel Dona Elvira had available rooms. Only use as a last resort.

My goodness: None of what was advertised

The top four reasons I filtered were a fail . Said room was sound proof- my room was in the lobby literally. Said there was parking- none! Pool- very small and murky color. Breakfast- didn’t have items that were listed from the three dishes. Hot water had to be demanded

Existen mejores opciones

They will steal your money

The hotel ripped us off of $320. We paid with cash for the sizable discount but they still charged our credit card as well. The hotel will not respo d to my requests.

It’s in Zona near Ballittini Hotel and The Large Church. It has a nice quiet traditional vibe. My room 14, was small but it was cleaned everyday. AC , ceiling fan and TV all worked. No condiments given except one roll of toilet paper and one towel which is not changed daily. Breakfast was Traditional American or Traditional Dominican. The Fresh Juice was good. The staff is very nice. They are there to help but not overbearing. Doors are locked at night and must be let in by staff. PLEASE BE PATIENT and Knock Softly. I would recommend for short stays
