Hotel La Morada — Hotel in Santo Domingo

Stayed at Hotel La Morada for a few days and was pleasantly surprised. The rooms are a decent size and the amenities are efficient for the price. To get the best deal I would recommend you call the hotel directly and make a reservation. I booked through a booking website and the price was $47/day for a standard room, no breakfast. If you call, it’s $40/day or $45 w/ breakfast.||The room:||The standard room is just that, a bed, a TV, small armoire, a decent size fridge (the temperature knob on mine was broken). The bathroom was somewhat small but that was only in my room (302) as my business partner had a bigger bathroom (201). Lighting is kinda dim so you have to turn on all the lights, the lamps and open the curtains to get some sunlight in the room. The bed was decent but the pillows were quite hard. Had good water pressure and the hot water was plentiful once you let it run for a few minutes. Overall it was a comfortable room.||The restaurant:||The restaurant is on the 4th floor walk-up rooftop deck and there’s a jacuzzi at the other end of the rooftop. Didn’t have a chance to eat there but looking at the menu its standard fare. Definitely a nice place to sit and have a drink or just catch some sun on a hot, balmy day.||Overall the hotel is very quaint and comfortable. The guys at reception were quite helpful and accommodating. There is parking in front of the hotel but it consists of 5 spots or so. There is some light traffic that passes in front of the hotel but more so during the day. In the evenings the area is relatively quiet. It is relatively close to the Malecon and a short cab ride to el Conde and other...

Renter BEWARE! I made a reservation and when we got there they had given our room away. They told us they had another room. We agreed to stay, paid for the room. After unpacking we left the room and found out that the door to our room didn't lock. We informed the front desk and said there was nothing they could do at the moment and that we'd have to wait until later that day until someone could come fix it. We couldn't wait all day/until someone came to fix it so we asked for our money back and told them we couldn't wait/were unhappy with the whole situation and that we'd find another hotel. They refused to accommodate us. Kept our money and made us wait until they checked the room that we were in for less than 30 mins (to check that we didn't steal anything/destroy/use anything). If you're looking for sub par service, this is place for you. The Dominican Republic has a very high crime rate, the locals will confirm this fact themselves, and they still wanted us to leave our belongings in an unlocked room until they decided to call a...

I rented the king suite for 4days with a total of $236 taxes included. I selected the option to pay at hotel. My last night there they told me the price was $400!! I showed them my confirmation email as proof that it was at $200 but refused to accept the price. I asked to speak with someone in charge and also refused to,give me the information needed. Breakfast wasn't worth getting. You order it at 8am and they say the cook arrives at 10am. By the time you get your breakfast it's past noon. In the end I was forced to pay $400. On top of this the AC leaks water and in the morning you're walking on a puddle. Do not be fooled by online prices. They will not...
