Default Hotel in San Jose de Ocoa

Would anyone know the name and posssbly the phone number for any hotels in San Jose de Ocoa? I have searched DR1 and all I found was some old references to a place called" Rancho Francisco". Besides that I have gotten some vague descriptions and mumbled directions from my rum-soaked panel of experts, but I was hoping to get a little better information before I headed up there. Any help that can be lent will be appreciated.

It's been a dog's age since I was there, but when I was, there was one cockroach hotel there, and nothing more.
Hopefully it has improved and modernized a bit.
Maybe there's even another one now.
I wouldn't expect to be finding a website, or anything.

Default Rancho Cascada

I also found a listing for a " Rancho Cascada" Dominican Republic, Rancho Cascada - Travel, Loding & Vacation which is mostly in german and deals in " Adventure Travel" with mountain biking and horseback riding. That's a bit more than I was looking for. Gira Dominicana - Rancho Cascada It is just outside San Jose de Ocoa on the Nizao River. I found an old reference to Rancho Francisco on a search in Google books and it mentions an olympic size pool, but that's all it says. It is said to be a very nice quiet town and worth a visit if I can keep from sleeping on the floor of the local pool hall.

Two blocks up from the main square you'll find a couple of guest houses that are clean and friendly. I've forgotten the names but ask at the square
