Domes Suites Domes is our home. Like all homes, residents should respect the needs of their neighbors and as a rule it is a quieter place. We’re located in a residential neighborhood and, as is typical here, there can be ambient noise from barking dogs, roosters, music, and street vendors. With that said, we can also be a festive place depending on the mix and desires of folks currently staying on the property. As a general rule however, we ask that guests “keep it down” after 10:00 p.m.

As a general rule, no; use of the facility is for registered guests only. However, please ask us if special circumstances arise and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.

No, we don’t. Note however that we have two well behaved resident cats: Mochi and Goliat.

Smoking is not allowed anywhere on the property. Vaping is allowed.

High speed wireless internet (60mbs down and 70mbs up) is available throughout the property.
