“Happy to stay in a recently renovated hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2010
2
people found this review helpful

The hotel was recently renovated with modern touches. The staff spoke english. A breakfast buffet was included in the price. The bar is open 24/7. It would have been nice if they could have checked to see that the desk lamp and washroom lamp is working, however, this is not take away from my enjoyment. The hotel is located close to the casino, shopping, and restaurants. I felt very safe walking in this neighbourhood.

“Good and cost effective option in Panama City”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2009

We were a group of 4 friends, our driver recommended this hotel. We paid 25 dollars per person per night. Breakfast, internet, aiport shutte included. 24 hrs restaurant.... ah! and a welcome courtesy drink. Simple hotel, not luxury, clean and definitely, a good and safe budget option in the city. Good location, security box and friendly staff. Breakfast is good! Not sure if staff speaks english, I speak spanish also. Other recommended options are Costa Inn and Milan....enjoy!

“Worse hotel in the whole wide world!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2008

BE AWARE this hotel has double accounting!! I got accuse from stealing (not paying the night) I had to pay cash checking in for one night.

The receptionist will ask you to pay in advance if you get there late then tell you that the credit card machine is broke then she'll give you a receive but not from the Hotel, them you think you got the right one. At the time of the check out they will tell you that you didn't pay and that you have to pay again.

No towels, broken toilets, bad neighborhood, AWFUL costumer service, disgusting food, NO MANAGEMENT what so ever.

PANAMA in general is an AWFUL country to go for vacations.
Rude people, no street signs, no meters in taxis (they will charge you more knowing you are a tourist), bad food, and the POLICE is corrupted (if you get stop by the police get your wallet ready because they WILL ask for money to let you go) this is just a little taste of my vacation from hell in PANAMA. !!!!

Go in a cruise visit the canal stay for a couple of HOURS and RUN for your life get out of PANAMA as soon as you can!!!!!!

NEVER COMING BACK NOT EVEN IF I GET PAID TO GO 5 MILLION DOLLARS!
