Not a high end luxury property, but Great room and facility for the price. Very convenient to a huge variety of restaurants within 2 minutes walking. Very safe area. Perfect for a business stay, walk to malls and banking centers, with a good desk, fridge, and coffee maker. Lastly a very relaxing pool, 24 gym, and lounge on the roof with amazing views of the city.

The receptionist was very pleasant and the checkin process great. The room was clean and the view was beautiful. The breakfast variety each morning was definitely a plus and was well prepared. The sky bar and pool were awesome. I will definitely return here whenever I revisit Panama.

The pool was always packed with people for its size. No ones fault it just happened to be what was going on. Only thing I missed was a microwave in my room. The ladies at the front desk always went beyond to help me with everything they were wonderful. Isis is fantastic but its hard to not give all of them a great big thank you.
