Plaza Florida Suites — Hotel in Santo Domingo

You just can't judge a book by its cover. When I finally found this "small" hotel I was a bit worried. I just did not like the parking situation so immediately my first impression was I made a mistake, but as soon as I walked into the room, it kind of grew on me. The room was clean, quite spacious and I liked having the kitchenette with all the amenities needed in the kitchen, it reminded me of a studio apartment. Its really not small at all, once you get to the rooms. It even had a balcony. The furniture though could use an upgrade, fast. ||They provide a continental breakfast but I was a bit disappointed with the selection, however, having a kitchen fixed all that, if you didn't mind having to cook it yourself but at least you got what you wanted. ||The staff were friendly and the security made sure I always had a spot as close to the front door as possible.

My wife and I recently stayed at the Florida Plaza Suites in Santa Domingo. The staff were very friendly and helpful. If a front desk staff couldn't​ speak English, they found someone that could.

We just returned from Plaza Florida suites after staying here for 6 nights. We picked this hotel because it was 3 blocks from the local hospital which I unfortunately had to stay in too. While I was in the hospital for 2 nights my wife was here alone feeling totally safe. The suite was spacious with a kitchenette. I also walk daily 4 blocks to the local supermarket where we purchased all our food. Rooms were kept clean daily, nice little fitness room, very popular seafood restaurant & bar just outside the hotel. Front counter staff spoke great English, good continental breakfast every morning. Local traffic outside was a bit noisy but I slept with earplugs with no problem. Very comfortable bed. Took a cab to the Colonial Zone one day $300 Dominican pesos. All in All I had...
