no problem, part of the learning curve 
how cheap is cheap?
Hotel Ambar [SIZE=-1](809) 575-1957[/SIZE] and Hotel Don Diego are 2 options. they used to be between $15 and $30 a night but have likely increased since then.
They are low budget hotels and are centrally located on Avenida Estrella Sadhala. They're not new or that well kept and aren't in the best of shape. They are centrally located 5 blocks form the Pista Balaguer near the rotunda.
perhaps someone from Santiago can fill i the blanks re:
confirming current rates, phone numbers and offering directions.
also
COLONIAL DE LUXE, C. POR A.
Salvador Cucururrullo Nos. 113-115
Santiago, Rep. Dom.
(809)247-3122
price around 500 or so pesos a night with A/C
not the best place but not bad for a night or 3.
most taxi drivers should know it.
i bet there are other decent options also as Santiago is a big and thriving city. AZB? any suggestions? :cheeky::bunny::bunny:

Send a PM to hillbilly. He has some decent rooms / apartments for rent from time to time. Its a key area in santiago, safe and respectable. Talking to hillbilly alone is worth the price of the rent. He will guide you towards the right direction and you will feel right at home in his company.

I would be careful with this.
I wouldn't be a cheapskate about accommodations in Santiago, unless you are used to slumming hardcore. I went all over Santiago and La Vega looking for somewhere to stay once and even one of the better recommended hotels in Santiago was not to my liking.
The name escapes me but I thought that if some of the people on DR1 could recommend this dump with a straight face they either enjoy Bowery-style living conditions or they are on drugs.
Pay the money and stay somewhere nice. If you can't afford it maybe you shouldn't be traveling.

You are referring to Hotel Colonial. Its a dump. I know a few DR1ers stayed there but soon left for a better hotels, often the same day.

I've stayed in September for a month at the Hotel La Rotonda in Santiago, it's okay and only paid RD300 per night let's say $10
Hotel Century Plaza is very good for the price. It will run you about $65 to $85 us dollars.
Which in my opinion is very good, while there are cheaper alternatives you wont have to sacrifice any comfort and still maintain some respectability there, and at the same time wont get your pockets hammered like if you were staying in a place like in El Gran Almirante.

For 15$ a night you get what you pay for. I have stayed there a few times (even with my kids).
I have stayed in worse. It's not as bad as a "dump" in India or Vietnam.
Berzin, some people travel frugally to be able to travel more often and for longer periods. "Backpacking" might not be your bag but millions of people around the world choose to do it.

Sorry to say that La Retonda is about as far away as you can get from the Monument and still be in Santiago. I think for you needs, depending on just how close you want to be to the Monument, you can choose between the Aparta Hote that is on Calle Vicente Estrella, about two blocks from the Monument or the Hotel Colonial which is on Salvador Cucurrullo near 30 de Marzo. Both are safe and cheap, as cheap goes these days.
