Tell Me About Santo Domingo

[ddtjman]

I'll be there from the 12th til' the 15th. I'm looking at getting a hotel for as cheap as possible without compromising safety. I have heard that some hotels in the downtown area go from $17 to $30 USD. If anyone has any names of these places, please let me know.

Next, places to eat that are reasonable, preferably a good seafood restaurant.

Good downtown nightclubs and any sights to see would also be apprecited.

Thanks,

Mark

Expect names like "Kill the Gringo Hotel" and "Dead Gulch Arms" etc. for $17 bucks.
