“Staying in a former convent, now a hotel, only 400 meters from Santo Domingo's historic center, is compelling. Its architecture-particularly the glass-vaulted banquet space-strikes a memorable chord of old and new. While the location serves friends wanting to enjoy some vacation, the hotel's unresponsiveness to theft is disconcerting; I would expect any reputable establishment to fully address such a serious complaint.”
