This hotel is newly renovated and now offers sleek, modern decor. Our king room was nicely furnished, well lit and had a spotless bathroom featuring a spacious shower with rain shower head. The breakfast room is cleverly separated from the lobby by glass doors which contains conversations in the breakfast room — although we never found it loud at all. The included breakfast buffet was very nice, offering a variety of hot and cold items, plus coffee, tea and juice. All staff were so friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay here again

We enjoyed our stay at the Best Western El Dorado. Although more of a budget hotel, the property was very clean and relatively modern. All staff were friendly and helpful. Pool area was well-kept, and the gym was great even if it was a bit small. Other reviews rave about the breakfast: we thought it was good but not exceptional. We had a double bed room that was plenty spacious and quiet. Microwave and fridge in the room were helpful. Bathroom was small but clean and functional. A/C worked great in the room. Location was good, with several shops, convenience stores and restaurants nearby and a quick 10-15 min Uber into old town. Also a convenient pick up/drop off location for anyone going to Canal tours or wildlife excursions. Overall a great option for Panama City!
