Hotel Riazor & Manolo's Restaurant
Hotel Riazor & Manolo's Restaurant are located on Avenida Independencia in the Santo Domingo sector of Gasque behind the Jaragua Hotel.
One of the problems is if you are driving parking is not only limited because of the small parking lot but traffic can make it difficult to get in and out of the parking lot.
I have stayed at this hotel numerous times, the staff is always polite and professional and it is guest friendly they simply check the chicas cedula before you retire to your room. You can also book your reservation for 2 persons to avoid any issue.
They have basic rooms with single or double beds a junior suite and a major suite. The rooms start at about $65.00 a night depending on what web site you use to book. I got a junior suite and I was very pleased with the room size it was very comfortable. The complaint I had was the WIFI was spotty so I had to use my Orange hotspot.
There is a mini bar in the refrigerator complete with soft drinks & snacks which you pay for upon your departure.
Manolo's Restaurant
Both the hotel and restaurant are under the same ownership.
It is an open air restaurant you can either sit on the street or inside the restaurant. Also the hotel room service comes from the restaurant. Below is a list of the complimentary breakfast menu.
Of course you can order a regular breakfast but you have to pay. I ate dinner a couple of nights. The below plate was mero con papas saltiada y enselada. Normally I pay around 500 pesos for this meal but I paid just under 1000 pesos at Manolo's. The food is good but it's on the high end.
Since it is an open air restaurant when it's raining it can be cool but when it's hot you get a decent breeze. You also have to be ok with all the traffic on Avenida Independencia it can be quite noisy.
Conclusion
The Riazor Hotel is centrally located and easy to find, it is very clean and the staff is professional and courteous. Manolo's Restaurant can be expensive but the food and the service are very good. I can recommend both if you will be in Santo Domingo for a visit.
