Great place to stay. The staff is the best! The only downside for me was the internet in the room was non existing.
I am returning to my panaama city on the 16th and unfortunately I need a place with reliable in room internet/wifi
Close to the metro line malls old city board walk a bakery sits next to the hotel fresh baked bread daily if u wish had one issue with the room and it was rectified in less than an hour
If you are coming from North America you will not feel safe outside this hotel. Property is in okay shape. But prostitution outside and unsavoury people
The internet quality was poor, the internet was not available in our rooks, only on the ground floor, not enough variety for the breakfast. Rooms were nice 👌 overall property nice
The property was very nice. It seems it’s under renovation as they had some signs showing the next stage of building. The rooms were nice and looks like they just plan on making them a bit more modern over the next few months. Lobby was very welcoming and it’s not far from the waterfront

Disliked: Staff & service
The air condition in my room did not work for two nights and I had to sleep with a fan , eventually the manager moved me to another room .
There was a smell coming from the bathroom upon arrival seems as though there is a sewer problem,around the area is ghetto and sketchy.The Hotel itself is fine otherwise,central location close to restaurants and shopping.Bilingual receptionist on every shift,breakfast was great every day.
Muy bien todo ahora que está renovado se ve increíble

El hotel esta limpio y el personal es bien atento, tiene un casino alado, esta situado en calidonia cerca de la cinta costera aunque no es la mejor area.
