Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was a little rough, but clean. It was everything I needed and was close to the water for an amazing price. the front desk people were very helpful and nice.
Hotel itself was decent for the price. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was pretty good. In a good location with a McDonald's across the street and a park about a 3 minute walk away.
This is my first time at this hotel. I was surprised at how friendly they are and that, though it's an inexpensive hotel, they provide breakfast (scrambled eggs and toast or rice cakes) included with the room. Unlike others in this price range, they also provide daily housekeeping.
No face towels, no soap. Doors were missing door handles. Some of the beds in our group had “stains” on the bed sheets. Had to sleep with clothes on - on top of the bed. Complimentary breakfast was toast with an egg…..Lots of homeless people hanging around the hotel area.
Would not recommend this hotel.

It's close to the water, everything in panama city is a short uber ride away. The shower is hot, beds comfortable, and the internet is fast and stable. Good value.
Old and beat up. Tv broken, wires sticking out of the walls, Busted up headboard. Only thirty bucks for two people I can't complain too much.

They couldn't find my reservation but I had kept the record. It is close to a metro station, a McDonald, and a government building, so l wouldn't say it's unsafe. But streets are littered with garbage. The free breakfast was provided with scrambled egg (small portion) , coffee, fruit drink and toast, which is nice. The facilities are dilapidated.
Room has no fresh air. Air co. was very old fashion and so noisy. Bathroom door was broken . If you do not have enough money to choose another hotel stay here. we reserve for 3 nights but after 2 nights we moved another hotel
Havia no quarto apenas um ar condicionado muito velho barulhento. Não tinha frigobar, para colocar uma água gelada. Mas, como era apenas para passar uma noite. Mesmo sem os ingredientes normais que contém um quarto de hotel, atendeu a necessidade.
