We stood here for two nights before embarking on a cruise out of Panama. This was a great location in Casco Viejo. It was centrally located. The hotel is quite nice in the staff are excellent. The room accommodations were very clean and spacious. They also have a pool on the top deck with great views. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Fast and easy check in. Unfortunately there was a wedding going on, leading to lots of noise and making having breaking or drinks not an option. The room was an upgrade ( paid for) with only a window onto an inside wall. A bit disappointing at 450$ a night .
