Good location and friendly staff. Breakfast was nice. Unfortunately, the room and bathroom weren’t very clean, and the shower floor had a lot of hair. Could improve housekeeping.
This review is for the suite. It is super clean. Ample and comfortable. Bedding and towels are top quality. Hot water is hot and AC is cold. Good water pressure. The small kitchen with microwave, fridge and table is so convenient
Just one small details, on this last visit, the bedding smelled a bit clean. Maybe they used too much detergent. Rooms 203 and 206 I highly recommend
The room was clean staff was friendly and was able to accommodate English speakers. The AC was great pool was refreshing. The only complaint I had was a weak wifi connection in the rooms. I would suggest repeater or a second wifi in the back of the building. The breakfast area has been modernized and was a nice change since last visit. The food is always fresh and tasty and has many options for varied pallettes.
Excellent hotel. The staff is very courteous and always helpful. The rooms are simple simple but it's sparkling clean. The bathroom is ample with a nice hot water pressure.. We reserve the suite, which includes living room, a small dining table and chair, fridge and microwave and a sink. I have stayed at this hotel 5 times during 2025 and plan on returning during 2025.
Courteous staff. Moisés bedis always ready to lend a hand. The room was spotless, good and cold AC, hot water. Clean bathroom and very comfortable bed and high quality bedding. This review is for the suit with a King size bed. Highly recommended.
I booked this hotel due to an unexpected stay in Panama City, due to a flight delay. According to the description of the property on Expedia, this hotel was close to the airport and had an airport shuttle. It turned out that the hotel was about 15 miles from the airport, in downtown Panama City, in a not so great neighborhood. The Best Western did not have an airport shuttle. The room itself was fine and the hotel staff were courteous and attentive.
I first must say the room was clean & so was the property and the staff is wonderful. I had a problem with the noise. The pool is supposed to be open 8 to 8. Well there were people out there to way past midnight and then I heard people at 1 or 2 laughing and making all sorts of noise. It was tough not to go and complain. I probably should have. The doors are older, and they are not sealed all the way so you can see the light and because of this, you can hear all the noise which echoes up from the pool & courtyard.
Since I have stayed in other hotels in Panama City, the breakfast was OK, not great. Mainly because of the noise I would not stay there again.
