"I have 15 years staying at the Embajador Never fails, is my home in my country. We’re your nerves system feels relaxed with the sounds of the birds and the beautiful Garden.. makes me feel very proud of who founded it Trujillo. Only problem is that it’s some new staff, they don’t know to keep their self in the place as employees. As a Dominican national I cant be too friendly. They would immediately cross the line of not keeping their distance and work ethic. Over all is the best Hotel in Santo Domingo."
