Friendly and cordial staff. Great free breakfast with ample hours. Convenient walk to restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops. Overall in Panama, you can expect anything imported from the US to be over twice the cost if not more. Local produce and foods are much cheaper though.

The free daily breakfast with varying hot dishes was a bonus with good hours of availability. The coin (quarters avail at front desk) operated washer ($2) and dryer ($3 for 45 mins) (med heat was hot enough) was convenient though you had to go to a store.(short walking distance) to get detergent. Short walk to many small restaurants of many varieties, and mostly chinese, coffee shops and bakeries was also convenient. The two issues I had was we did not have a mini fridge (not avail with a room with two double beds). The other issue is that the room was a bit damp when you have temps set at normal room temps. Only when set temp around 19C / approx 63F (a bit chilly), did the dampness go away.
