Lugar is a common, neutral word for 'place' or 'location.' Use it for physical places (a room, park, town) and for abstract locations (a situation or position). For asking 'where' in conversation, combine it with 'sa' (e.g., 'Saang lugar...?' = 'In what place...?'). 'Pook' is a slightly more formal or literary synonym; 'dako' often refers to an area or direction (e.g., 'sa dako roon' = 'over there').
