First off, the hotel Lobby smells like deep fried chicken, which is nauseating. Was sent up to a room which smelled so humid it was also nauseating. I asked for a different room and they said they didnt have anythign. Internet was faulty, and I could not log on. No desk in the room. Called room service, asked for approximate time of delivery, and was told it was impossible to tell, this in a rude manner. So I canceled and walked to a franchise restaurant nearby. This was in the early evening. The street was filled with dirty prostitutes who harassed you everywhere. There were rats in and around the street corners of the hotel. Overall, extremely unsafe. Upon returning to the room, the A/C stopped working. Prostitutes were in the elevator as I went up. I locked myself up in the room. THe sheets smelled like they were poorly washed. There was dirt on the bathroom. ANd all throughout the nite, people kept screaming in the halls and actually knocking at my door. I had never felt unsafe in a hotel in my life, except for this one. I could not sleep, because the AC wasnt working and the open window made the room LOUD with outside noise. Spent 45 minutes waiting to be served at the restaurant next morning and noone showed. Smell of deep fry still in the lobby. I RAN AWAY, leaving a paid room which they refused to reimburse me for. Overall: DISGUSTING. NEVER STAY HERE.

I liked everything about this hotel! most of the time one of the elevators wasn't working, but it was ok! Everyone working there is nice! the service is just what you want from a good Hotel and I loved the lemonade!!

We stayed at BQ Santo Domingo for 3 nights. The first night our room was flooded for some reason, and the management gave us a different room right away without problem. The room was old but clean. The restaurant downstairs was good with great breakfast and dinner. The wifi connection speed was fast, which was important for business travelers.
With moderate pricing on the rooms I'd recommend business travelers to stay at BQ if you were on a tighter budget.

Nicely renovated hotel with full breakfast. Many local dishes along with normal breakfast fare. Tile floors in room were lovely and the bed was firm.
