Normally I give you 5 stars. My last visit was a nightmare. The staff is amazing but that night it was horrendous. I had spent about 30 days at the hotel over a 5 week period. It was awesome. My last stay I asked for a double room. I had a 18month old with me. We received a 1 bed hotel with no air conditioning. We arrived around 8:30pm. We didn’t get into our room until 2am. The bell boys were awesome but they were helpless. No apologies. No free meal. Nothing. I spent well over $1000 and got nothing. Not even an I’m sorry. It is a shame because I had just referred some Amaericsn friends.

Good hotel

The hotel is decent and for the price not bad. The neighborhood is a little dicey and I don’t recommend walking around the hotel. Service was nice, rooms were comfy, breakfast was included. There was hot water some of the time, no hairdryers available, but overall a really good deal. It’s central to everything if you take uber.

The staff were top notch! Super helpful & nice, especially Javier, he spoke good enough English & was extremely helpful. We stayed for a night & I enjoyed my stay, I would stay here again. Upon arrival we got complementary cocktails. We walked across the street to a large supermarket & was able to get phone chargers, water and snacks. We also purchased hot dogs & juice from the street vendors outside, it was a great local experience for us. We later had dinner at the hotel, the food was bomb! Definitely a 9/10 (fish & plantains with salad). The hotel offers breakfast for free for 2 & although breakfast starts serving at 7am, we were able to get breakfast before we leave at 5:30. We had to-go plates waiting for us at front desk with our room number on it. We were very appreciative and we look forward to staying here again when we visit Panama. The only negative for me is the neighborhood isn’t the best kept, the rooms we paid for was suppose to have 2 Queen beds but we only had 1 twin & 1 double, I didn’t complain, we just took it since we got complimentary drinks & free breakfast & we didn’t expect that. Also, I was hoping the room had a fridge & it didn’t but we weren’t there that long, it was just an overnight. We stayed for a layover flight in Panama.
