Property condition is dated. Parking was difficult as spaces were small and very limited. Access to parking was rough. Reception staff was inconsistent -- one was "surely" while other 2 were helpful and worked with me to solve issues. Took them 3 days to fix clogged drain. Breakfast was adequate but choices limited -- got job done. Overall hotel served purpose. Centrally located in Panama City. Would stay again.

Avoid this place.

The desk service was poor. I asked for an extra pillow and the women looked as if I was putting her out. Never got that pillow after she said she would send it. I asked for hangers and an extra key card for myself and had to call back twice. The bed was old and hard and I couldn't sleep. Furniture was sparse. Finally checked out early. We were told because we reserved through Hotels.com there would be no refund. Avoid this place like the plague.

Pior lugar que já estive na vida. Cheio de baratas e ar condicionado pré histórico fazia barulho de um caminhão de lixo dentro de casa. Pedi ao hotéis.com para me tirar deste lugar horroroso. Porém a demora do atendimento me fez ficar por lá. Acredito que foi um dos pior dias as da minha vida. Obrigada hotéis.com por tratar um client GOLD desta forma
