Good Price

Pros: Recommended by a client
Cons: Common areas and facilities like the GYM could be a little better
Location: location is extremely convenient if you are going to work in the area
The hotel rooms are great and the staff is great... perhaps the common aresa anf facilties could be better, but overral for the price is a fair deal

Great staff at Novotel!!!

The staff at Novotel was outstanding. We do not speak much Spanish, but the staff here took good care of us. Eric at the front desk took care of most of our transportation arrangements and recommended some fabulous restaurants. Rafael at the Bar made my favorite Cosmopolitan (had to substitute cherry juice - but it was perfect.) And Edwin at the restaurant on the Mezzan level saw to it that we had several good meals . They all remembered us, and very friendly. I would come back just for their service !

Convenient and good service

Pros: see above
Cons: Make sure that there is adequate hot water in the shower. Not to make this so is false economy on the part of the hotel.
Location: see above.
Panama City is fairly well spread out so unless you have a specific need to be in the old section, or in the newer areas, it probably does not make much of a difference where you stay from a location standpoint. Taxis are reliable and not unreasonably priced for a city at this level of economy. The staff was very helpful. Room was clean and simply but appropriated decorated and supplied. Bed was comfortable and the heating/AC worked well. Buffet breakfast was adequate. There are several reasonable restaurants within 5 minute walk of the hotel, in a safe neighborhood. The only negative was that there was insufficient hot water in the shower, no matter what time of day or night. Others had commented on this as well. For whatever reason (?) there was plenty of hot water at the very same time coming from the sink faucet, so it is not a problem making the hot water centrally. I mentioned this to the hotel staff twice, but nothing changed. Otherwise, I would have no problems recommending this hotel to others.
