people who operate international hotels especially those close to the airport MUST understand three things 1. the most important element of the transaction is the customer. 2. The customer is travelling therefore under severe stress. 3. most customers will be people who do not speak Spanish. I was only really going to be at that place for 1.5 days but since I did not want to be floating around Tocumen for 7 hours, after vacating the room at 12 PM, I paid for 2 days. the hotel is located in a very shady area, and there are NO amenities on the premises food, alcoholic beverages, not even coffee. the meager supply of cool drinks they had were extremely limited, so whatever you need you would have to order it from outside and since you don't speak Spanish, good luck to you. except for this one man on the morning shift none of the other people on any shift spoke English. the room they gave me had no refrigerator, it had only one poor light in the entire room and the TV was not working in that room when I asked the misfit manager about it, all he told me is that it was not working, but later that evening meeting an American from Oregon who went out to dinner and a drink with me, his room had TV. and the TV in the lobby was working. i am an investor seeking to invest US$300,000 in Panama and this really bad experience happily was not in keeping with what I found elsewhere in Panama, if it were, I would not invest a cent in that country.

I always stay here at this hotel. Its not 5 star but its convenient affordable and close to the airport. The staff are so sweet especially the beautiful lady with the green eyes at the front desk. She always ensures that im comfortable and I understand whats being said in Spanish. The rooms and bathrooms are really nice but if you look from the outside you would have no idea. The wifi works perfectly and the bathroom are built like modern homes.The only suggestion I would give the property manager is to clean the outside of the compound and paint because closed minded people would turn away. Other than that, I will be back very soon. I always stop at this place when visiting panama even if its for a day because I travel for work.

The one good thing about the property is it very close to the airport. They promise a shuttle but it only goes three times a night so we were not able to use the shuttle as promised we had to pay a taxi on the side also no breakfast about $65 for a very mediocre room.
