Any good inexpensive hotels in Santo Domingo

[j. jetson]

@ j. jetson, great posts and I love the pics. Do you live in the area?

Muchisimas Gracias.

No. I live in the mountains of New York State.

Hopefully in the future I can spend more time in the Dominican Republic.

That is one of my favorite blocks. I always pass to walk down that one with my dog. Beautiful trees, Amazing quite. And then up the next block which has some of the prettiest houses in Gazcue. The new park is indeed lovely. They did a good job with it, even though it took forever. But it is also a very lively people watching place at night. Over the weekends, particularly, in the afternoons and evenings, the park across the street, with the "little houses" is filled with families and kids flying kites. You can sit across the street and have a great Cubano and people watch.

I frequently stay at the Duque de Wellington. It is clean, safe and has good service. Not fancy but pleasant and the location is ideal. Ask at check in about a 10% discount for payment in cash.
