Excellent Hotel. Centrally located in the Casco Viejo / Historic District of Panama City. Pianist or Cellist in the lobby most days - - so nice soft live music. Didn't try the hotel restaurant because there are so many interesting restaurants within 5 min walking distance. Only partial negative is thin walls - so you do here stuff of the adjacent rooms
