Mercure Comercial Santo Domingo, Santo Domingo

After a Week in a rural village, this was a wonderful cosmopolitan oasis. The Complementary Breakfast is extravagant. Just don't count on any Bargains in the Hotel, or the City.

I looked at a lot of hotels before choosing this place. I stayed here 15-17th Deciembre. It is in the heart of the Colonial Zone, and I liked that I could walk and see the historic sections, return to change or eat, and then go back out again. It is a relatively modern 4 story hotel with an elevator. I had a great view and a balcony of sorts overlooking the street. The room was clean and was cleaned daily. Having a safe was nice because I could worry less about the vagrants and scam artists on the streets lusting after American money. The hotel had a restaurant that served OK food and an internet computer near the entry. I would definitely stay here again and I recommend it to others. By the way, if you are looking for a place to stay, check the hotel out by name, rather than using these sites to find and book. I learned that these sites (yahoo, expedia, travelocity, etc) raise the prices to profit unreasonably off Americans. When you go to the hotel website directly, you will find the rates far cheaper. This discovery really made me question all the times I have paid top dollar to stay at hotels out of the United States. As the Dominicans told me time and time again, "Americans are the cash cows of the world."

It looked like a nice deal,but it turned expensive; I was charged $17 because of my friend visit me for 20 minutes. The room was not to clean, te floor was dirty and a lot of somebody else's hair; the bathroom was a mess because it was cloged and it accumulated a lot of water while taking a shower. FA

Mercure is right in the heart of the colonial district. its close to the waterfront. the rooms are clean but not necessarily that nice. the showers are great though!

The perfect place for action and fun. Great Food. I took and chance and stayed there and I am not not disappointed. I highly recog. for singles.
