The
property
is
very
nice.
Staying
at
such
an
old
building,
yet
with
modern
upgrades
without
compromising
its
history,
is
an
unforgettable
experience.
Employees
were
very
responsive,
very
well
trained,
perhaps
a
bit
too
formal,
but
I
guess
it
has
to
do
with
the
image
that
the
hotel
wants
to
portray.
The
room
was
neatly
fixed,
vey
welcoming.
Breakfast
was
excellent,
many
choices
and
very
nice
employees;
a
pleasant
experience.
There
is
plenty
to
do
around
the
hotel,
including
many
places
to
eat
and
many
museums.
We
could
not
visit
"The
Alcazar
de
Colon"
as
it
is
being
repaired.
On
our
first
morning
and
while
still
in
bed,
I
could
hear
several
members
of
the
cleaning
staff
chatting
outside
the
bedroom.
I
stood
by
the
door
and
reminded
them
that
there
were
people
resting,
and
asked
them
to
be
a
bit
more
considerate;
they
moved
away
right-away.
Again,
nothing
major,
kind
of
lack
of
common
sense,
but
something
that
the
hotel
should
address
with
the
staff.
Access
to
the
hotel
was
very
difficult
as
there
is
construction
around
it
with
the
only
inbound
street
closed,
and
no
"detour
signs".
The
alternate
access
is
a
one-way
narrow
street
with
cars
parked
on
one
side.
Thus,
it
is
almost
impossible
to
access.
This
is
not
the
hotel's
fault,
but
something
they
might
want
to
discuss
with
whoever
is
coordinating
this
project;
perhaps
request
not
to
allow
parking
on
the
alternate
access
while
the
inbound
street
is
closed?
An
overall
positive
experience,
a
great
place
to
stay
in
Santo
Domingo.
