Place was quiet and clean, it also had a cool trail to the bay. Much better than some chain hotels that are poorly kept and stink like curry.

Parking was easy, right outside the room. The room was tiny but wonderful and really nice for what it was. AC kept the room comfortable and is extremely quiet. Great communication from the staff about the only issue with the tv but beyond their control. Definitely will book again when we go back to Panacea.

I LOVED this motel! The room was very clean. I liked the updates and the colors of the room. The room and the bed linens smelled really great too. It felt like a home. As a single woman, feeling safe on road trips is very important. I loved this place enough that I booked a 2nd night. I also enjoyed hearing birds chirping in the morning and the sound of the palm trees swaying. It was very peaceful. Thank you for an excellent stay!

This was by far one of my most peaceful getaways, i book mini getaways very often due to the stress and nature of my job , Panacea motel was by far exceptional ! check in was super easy and they allow you to have a peace of mind by giving you space! everything was completed and i was in and out without even having to check in or out , They give you the space and resources to be self sufficient during your stay without need of any help, will definitely be booking again !!
