“This hotel stands out for its central Panama City location and variety of on-site dining, particularly the lively bar. I noted the Moroccan-inspired décor and family-friendly amenities add character. While some may find the rooms a touch dated, the proximity to Via Argentina and spacious bathrooms are definite advantages.”
