Guest Friendly Hotels in SDQ
bigbird said:Thanks!!!!
I have prepaid at Hotel Mercure but I will definetly take a look at this place when I am in SD. I like be close to the ocean. Thanks again for the link. I googled, yahooed and searched with no luck.
The Napolitano has a very pleasant breazy terrace with bar and pool and view over the Malecon and sea that is open for non-guests to have a drink.
I stopped by Palacio last week while in SD. I love Palacio. It reminds me of some 15th century villa or fortress or something. Sitting in the courtyard in the morning or evening and sipping a coffee or a cocktail is quite relaxing and enjoyable. That outdoor area at the cafe at the east end of El Conde (by the open park area) is a great place to sit in the afternoons too.
For better or worse, I love SD.

For future reference, the Hotel Residencia, In Gazcue, is $25-30 a night for a very nice, clean room with a/c and cable tv. Not luxurious by any standard, but nowhere near a dive. Walking distance to Zona Colonial and a few blocks off the Malecon. It is family run, the desk staff speaks english, and they are very guest friendly.
What do you mean...
What do you mean guest friendly? Like Dominican people are welcome to stay with tourists...or the hotel is just friendly?

I just returned from having a wonderful time in Santo Domingo. My final hotel choice was Hotel Mercure. I could not have made a better selection! Hotel Mercure is located on El Conde and centrally located to Zona Colonial.
Hotel Mercure has a prepay special. If you pay in advance with a no refund policy the room cost is $67 USD double occupancy per night, including all taxes. The price also includes a free breakfast (bacon, eggs, toast, fruit, rolls, etc).
There's a Howard Johnson in San Pedro. I stayed there once. Not the greatest. I rember some power and water troubles. Maybe it has gotten better.
Juan Dolio is one town over and has a few decent NON AI hotels.
Maybe Mommc, who lives there will see this post and make a suggestion.
You could actually try the search function on here!

Start a new thread in the South Coast forum. this discussion is about Santo Domingo hotels.
Having said that, San Pedro is an "interesting" choice for a first trip to the DR. Not a tourist destination, and choices in accomodations are few.

Very guest friendly, but will photo copy your guest's ID. Had a couple guests up to my room with no problema. It's located at the end of El Conde, about three blocks off the beaten path, but a nice place to stay at $65 per night. Nothing fancy, 2 star by most standards.

Has anyone stayed at Penalba, Mercure, or Palacio recently? I'll be in SD for 4 or 5 days next week...currently leaning towards the mercure for the price...is it still as nice as it was? Still friendly towards guests? Ive stayed at the Intercontinental and Jaragua...and the small Hotel Residencia in Gazcue...thinking of ZC over malecon this trip...
