Demolition this hotel

This hotel should be demolished to the ground and start over horrible conditions. We were checking out and the maid came in while we were at breakfast and made the bed without changing the sheets. Toilet seat is not attached to toilet horrible place

The Hotel was fine. The pool was slimey and it appears to be used by large groups partying during the day. Not sure if they rent it out to other groups to bring in a little more cash but that is what it looks like. The area outside of the hotel is nasty. Was thankful to have enclosed parking at the hotel. Has potential to be a very nice hotel once again.

The hotel was under a major renovation which I can understand the lack of a lot of things. But no fridge in the room, dinner was not worth the money and too dangerous to go out. Although the staff were nice.

MUY MAL SERVICIO, pague 2 noches y solo me quede una noche porque el hotel está MUY MAL, no lo recomiendo para NADA!!! 1. No había agua caliente en la regadera 2. El lavamanos estaba TAPADO 3. Solo tenía 3 canales en la televisión, y salía un anuncio que no habían pagado por eso no tenían mas canales 4. Solo había un enchufe en toda la habitación 5. No hay elevadores y yo padezco de la espalda y no puedo subir gradas 6. Dicen que incluye desayuno y no me dieron el desayuno 7. Las sábanas estaban sucias 8. Las instalaciones están en MUY mal estado, no le dan mantenimiento Parece casa embrujada literal jaja Cancelé la segunda noche y no me reembolsaron NADA!! No es como sale en las fotos!! Lo unico positivo que puedo decir es que la cama estaba cómoda, pero de nada sirve si las sábanas estaban sucias!!

Very disappointed in this Hotel!

The front desk clerk wasn’t helpful and didn’t provide internet service or remote for A/C. We had to find another employee to help us. Also, the following day they chain locked the front door, locking us in! We couldn’t leave and there was no employee in site to unlock the front door… health/safety hazard! We had to walk around the entire hotel to find a child to help us. We had to check out with him… also wasn’t informed about the strict covid shut down Colon has on Sundays, when they knew we are leaving then. Had to get police escorted out of the Colon. The room we stayed in was in poor condition as well. TV didn’t work well… I do not recommend staying here.

The property was terrible. I was quoted $26.64 and charged more. Staff did not want to provide me a receipt of my stay, water in the room was turned off overnight, did not get a ocean view as promised. Electric outlet & phone did not work, no hot water in the room, property needs a paint, request an iron and told we had to wait until 10am when another employee came in. We were checking out before 10am. The worst part was that visitors to the swimming pool area were urinating at the side of the pool. I advised employee that the patron should be removed. She stated that she advised the patron but him and his friends continued the practice. They just moved the practice behind a adjacent wall to the pool. Terrible experience.
