Hello DR1. Early this year I stayed in the newly renovated Hotel Conde La Penalba. I paid about 65 a night for a small one bed queen size room. No balcony or anything like that. I found it so nice clean, staff wonderful, continental breakfast great, TV, AC, all perfect. Noise ends about 10;00 from the restaurant with great food downstairs. For convenience this was the bomb. If I am only stopping off for a couple of days this place is now my go to. If you haven't taken the Choo Choo do so. The Museum Sub Aquatico is a worthwhile visit when it re opens (Covid ? close). The hotel is right in Parkeo Colon fantastic! I highly recommend for those who don't want to stay in their room. Those want a great relaxing place to sleep with total convenience of facilities before the next days activities. I am sure they have large rooms. But at higher price. I kinda miss the old look with the smokey wood panels so reminiscent of an earlier period of Rum and Cigars. But this was so tastefully done that I got over it relatively quickly. If the little coffee shop on El Conde the "Cafeteria" modernized tho I will cry like a baby.
