Hotel Century Plaza — Hotel in Santiago de los Caballeros

I stay at this hotel quite often and the service is always consistently good. It is a favourite with businessmen travelling to the city. The prices are reasonable $50-$60us is what I usually pay per night. The rooms are clean and comfortable, if a little on the small side. There is a mini bar in every room and there is no need to worry about using it because the prices are reasonable. There is an ice machine in the corridor and the hotel restaurant (which provides room service) is excellent. However, there is a very good local cafeteria on the main road, just opposite the hotel, perhaps better for lunch than dinner. There is Friday night live music and the price of the room includes a hearty breakfast. There is a large car park at the front with free parking.

The dollar is strong right now and that would have been very easy to do. I would have even been willing to just pay it as a cover and dance the night away, but the manager went out of his way to make us feel unwelcome. He told us that if we were not ordering wine, then we could not stay. He seemed a little drunk himself and was quite belligerent. It made a terrible impression, and we chose to leave right away. I did not realize the management was so rude and the place so trashy. I...
