“Great Place to Stay”

Reviewed May 15, 2013 NEW

I stayed here because of a work meeting across the street. The location was perfect for our group. The hotel is nice, clean and safe. The staff was amazing and that alone would be worth staying there again. They offer a free breakfast in the morning and there was plenty of space to sit and eat. I was able to... More

“Great location prior to cruising”

Reviewed May 10, 2013

Stayed here April 1, 2013 prior to setting out on our RCI cruise through the Panama Canal. It was a great location, as we were able to walk to the terminal. Arrived early enough to check our bags, get our Sea Pass, and then visit the area. Highly recommend this hotel!

Dear "deenjil" I am glad to see that you enjoyed our location prior to departing on your cruise through the Panama Canal. It is our hope that we did enough to earn your business again and your referral. See you next time! Respectfully, Miguel Rojas More
