Great accommodations, Panama Suite was perfect. Very clean, well stocked, great amount of space, and park outside the front door was nice! Perfect location, very walkable to everything, but just far enough away to where it was very quiet. Great communication by staff as well. I highly recommend!

Lovely historic building with modern touches, converted to a hotel in a reasonably quiet part of town. Located in the middle of the island’s old town, you can walk pretty much anywhere in 5-20 minutes, and we did. The restaurant across the street is also excellent. Reasonable sized units, and the semi-private covered patio makes you not want to leave. Far enough away from the Duvall St partying that you don’t hear or see it, but close enough to be accessible. Safe neighborhood. Abundant chickens nearby.

Highlights: Overall, great quiet location. Clean, accommodating, nice amenities, friendly service. Would absolutely recommend you stay here! Beautifully restored, clean and welcoming. We loved the small touches this place offered. Dehumidifier in the room, a fan, nice ac unit, filtered water downstairs and complimentary coffee and adult beverages. Would definitely return, will probably return. The only caveat was waking up to construction in the morning. I think they were wrapping up the construction when we were leaving, however.
