I am looking with websites (If possible) a hotel on the El Conde or within walking distance from there. This will be my first trip in staying in Santo Domingo but will only be here for a couple of days. Thank you in advance. Any suggestions?

Looking for a nice hotel (Inexpensive) on the El Conde
Conde de Pe?alba Hotel
Nice hotel. I've stayed there and it is very pleasant. It has a nice restaurant on the ground floor which is perfect for people watching and it is right where you want to be.
Leave the hotel, take a few steps and you are right on Calle El Conde.
You are better off calling for reservations-I wouldn't do it via the internet.
As for the rooms, the best are the ones that face the street-they have balconies and are very airy and bright. They have rooms in the interior with no windows, which I guess are good for privacy and you don't hear the street noise, but it depends on what you want.

For starters you can take a look at this thread.

Thank you all for your inputs. Unless there are other hotels nearby, I am now narrowing it down to two places and they are Hotel Conde de Penalba and Hotel Palacio. I am leaning toward Hotel Conde de Penalba, it looks comfty.
My brother gets robbed on hotel Discovery by two hotel employees. Over 2000 dollars in cash and properties. My brother filed a complaint to management but they said they trusts their employees so practically told my brother he was a liar. Filed a case with Politur and local police. My brother's wife (a dominican) later learned that hotel manager made some gifts to local police.
Conde de Pe?alba rooms are beautiful, colonial style, small but confortable. Mercure is good too, better prices if you reserve online.
does it HAVE to be in El Conde? i was in Santo Domingo last week and had a good stay in a very nice Hotel in the Gazcue [spelling?] neighborhood. Check out LA CASONA DORADA [on ave Independencia]
Hotel Restaurante La Casona Dorada
I had a rental car and made the drive to El Conde in about 3 minutes...

I agree [thanks to BERZIN for the recommendation]! The hotel is quiet, peaceful, guest friendly, very inexpensive [i paid 1500 pesos for a room per night] and yes close to everything. Colmado on the corner, ATM machines walking distance, walking distance to the Malecon and the casinos, good times! 
Hotel Monumental
I actually toured this hotel before it was finnished. Jan is right, it is decent and inexpesive and it is very centrally located right on the Conde. http://www.hotelmonumental.com.do I have not stayed there but I met the owner and he was very friendly and accomadating and everything was brand new.

I am all set and ready to go as I am leaving two weeks from today. Thank you folks but I decided to stay on the north coast once again but I will be back again in February and will spend more time in SD. Conde de Penalba is on top of my list, I do like the hotel and it is exactly where I want to be. So much to do, so little time.
PS-Hotel Monumental is not bad at all for that price and they have Wifi access.
