We were extremely disappointed with our stay at Kimpton Las Mercedes. The hotel is advertised as luxury, but the surrounding area felt unsafe and nothing like the photos, more like a rundown neighborhood. Our room was much smaller than described and located right across from the elevator, making it very noisy with no privacy. The view from both the room and pool area was of deteriorated buildings, not the city view shown online. Customer service was also not up to par. We checked out after one night even though we had planned to stay longer. This property is misleading and not worth the price.
Beautiful property antique looking but unfortunately has a very musty and humid smell it was very unpleasant and I was not able to rest during my stay do to the unpleasant smell. I made the front desk aware of the issue but nothing was done about it.
Excellent! One of the best establishments I stayed at in the DR. From the welcoming staff to the room service. They take a lot of pride in hosting their guests.
Excellent across the board: location, facilities, breakfast, and service all surpassed expectations

The worst experience
On my stay they never clean my room
We order room service twice and they always forgot food and they try to charge me for items that never received.
Food was terrible.
I let manager now and they don’t care
I don’t recommend this place
We had an amazing stay at Hodelpa Nicolás de Ovando and would definitely stay again! Feliz was amazing and super helpful to us! We were in a great location near lots of attractions and safe. The food and drinks were also amazing and everyone was so nice and helpful. The massage therapist, Anna, was truly amazing as well. 5 star stay!
