Great location
Room was large, beds comfortable, great a/c. This is a basic hotel (no hairdryer, no cups, no elevator, etc) but the location can’t be beat.

Panama City quick getaway
was not aware that it was also a hostel in addition to a hotel - the size of the room was less than desired but otherwise very convenient for everything a tourist needs to do
