Positives: House keeping A+ Front Desk A+ Price A+ Amenities A (see negative) Location A+ ( restaurants, subway access, family park and shopping all within walking distance.) Pool and roof bar + staff A+ (Incredible panorama of the city, Not a big pool but enough to cool off in the daily 90 degree heat) Negative: No ice machine C- ( this might just be a spoiled USA citizen complaint) All in all my wife and I were very pleased we picked this hotel for our first visit to Panama City.
