I notice a sign out front that said $40 per night, but that's a very small room and I think they have only one or two of those.
Hotel Casana Dorada Calle Osvaldo Baez Santo Domingo
Hotel Casana Dorada is in the Gascue área of Santo Domingo right around the corner of Bodega Indepencia off Avenida Indepencia. The hotel has very few parking spaces for those who have cars so it is possible you might have to park on the street.
When I arrived I discovered the hotel was being renovated and there was scaffolding in different parts of the hotel. They advertised a functional pool however the pool was have full of water and unusable for swimming.
I had a decent room with good air-conditioning it had a king size bed and plenty of towels in the bathroom. There was a room safe however it another monger monger reported that his was not working. There was no mini bar but there was a functional refrigerator. I did not use the TV or the WIFI so I cannot speak on those 2 items. I did see a creepy crawler (roach) while I was in the room despite the fact it was very clean.
The hotel is in a good location because you can walk to convenient stores and restaurants in the area. The staff was good and everyone was polite and courteous but I doubt if I would repeat since there are so many other hotel options in the Gazcue area.
Hotel Riazor Avenida Indepencia, Santo Domingo
Hotel Riazor is in the Gascue area of Santo Domingo on Avenida Indepencia about a 5 minute walk west of Villar Hnos Restaurant. When you walk on to the property there is a small parking area however it is only sufficient for a few cars however there is a parking area adjacent to Manolo’s Restaurant next door.
The lobby area is small with a front desk and a few couches and chairs. I walked in off the street without a reservation and was able to get a basic room without a balcony. I found the room to be immaculate. The room was accented with hard wood floors and wood trim closets and doors, although it was a hotel room it had a very homey feel. The queen size bed had a very comfortable mattress. There was a large closet with a key safe and the bathroom was clean very spacious and had plenty of towels.
There are regular rooms with 1 & 2 beds and balcony rooms which are more expensive with 1& 2 beds. The room I had a flat screen 20 inch television and the cable worked well. There was WIFI but I cannot attest to the connectivity because I used my Orange hotspot. There was a mini bar with items to include candy, chips and various alcoholic beverages that if used were paid for at departure.
I found the staff to be very professional and courteous some spoke English and some only spoke Spanish. Although I only stayed for 1 night that stay was enjoyable and I would have no problems recommending this hotel to others.
Manolo’s Restaurant Avenida Indepencia, Santo Dominigo
Manolo’s Restaurant is on Avenida Indepencia next to Hotel Raizor. The restaurant is an open air venue which faces Avenida Indepencia where you can see the foot and auto traffic. It is not uncommon to see some fine chicas walking by some working and some not.
The main part of the restaurant is open air but there is an indoor air-conditioned dining area also. The restaurant is famous for its mixed fruit drinks that are prepared fresh before your eyes. The menu includes typical steak and seafood as well as Dominican Comida Tipica. Menu items average between 300-500pesos. The food is good with decent sized portions. I had “pollo guisado” and I asked the waiter for all thighs because the thigh is my favorite part of the chicken but he came back with thighs and legs, but that is the second time that has happened to me although at a different restaurant, oh well “bienvienidos a La Republica Dominicana!”
IMHO the best part about the restaurant is the staff who have always been professional and friendly. I love this restaurant and I would highly recommend it to others.
One other thing to add is that is a direct shot to the back entrance of hotel/casino jaragua. You can attempt to pick off girls waiting for the public transit after work. I start 'dating' a girl that works there so i passed thru a few times and saw streams of cuties in and out.
I like gambling so thats a plus for me

Hotel Mystic is a dated property however I like the way it is set up. There is a balcony with chairs so you can watch foot traffic after which you walk in to the front entrance. The receptionist is on your right and there is a sitting area with couches and a TV. This are is great for interviews if you do not want to immediately bring a chica to your room.
As you continue on the first floor there is a bar and restaurant. There are different types of rooms but I got a large room with a small table chairs couch and king size bed. The room was obviously dated but very comfortable. There was a flat screen TV and safe in the wall. My biggest complaint would be there was no refrigerator or mini-bar.
I had no reservation but I was able to secure a room with no problem.
