Run down property

Pros: The location in relation to the subway, aside from this nothing else is worth mentioning. I am truly surprise you do not mentioned the remodeling.
Cons: Clean all windows, make the bar look appealing, the lobby is to sad looking.
Location: Right in the center of town, half a block from the subway station
As we step out of the taxi that took us from the airport to the Hotel you can tell right away it looked run down. At the entrance and before reaching the main lobby there was a sign mentioning the above. The lobby look dark and with no life at all. The Hotel has over 300 rooms and only one elevator was working during our 3 night stay. All the windows from the panorama elevator as well as the room ones, were terribly dirty!!

Nice hotel close to banking area

Pros: Comfortable room. Nice pool area.
Cons: I would have liked a coffee maker in my room.
Location: A very good location for business. Also close to restaurants and shopping.
I enjoyed my stay here and it was within walking distance to banks and business district.

this hotel was home away from home

Pros: Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet
All the bad reviews I read bout this hotel made me a bit hesitant about staying there, but when I got there service was excellent from begining to the end, the staff, the service, the ambience, the quality of the room, the restuarant and their staff made our meals enjoyable with their courteous service and radiant smile,I don't think I want to try any other hotel in Panama, I know what I am getting at the continental and I am quite happy with it, I have already started recommending it to my friends,,,,,,,,,,,, ALL ROUND EXCELLENCE
