I booked this room for my elderly grandmother, who had an appointment at the nearby hospital, along with my aunts. The staff was very kind and welcoming. According to my family, the room was clean, comfortable, and very nice. It made their stay much easier during an important medical visit. I’m grateful for the great service they gave my family!

Nice room, great rooftop pool area, friendly staff, free breakfast buffet. Cons: area is pretty shady, don't walk around at night, use uber. Bugs in the bathroom everyday, not terrible but more than my liking. Overall not a bad place, and now knowing the cons, I'd still go back. And a big plus is, it's close to everything. Ubers always between $3-5. Great!

The hotel was affordable and offered good value for the price. Breakfast was well organized and delicious. The building itself was okay, and for a short stay of a few days, the room was a decent size and well maintained. However, the bedding and towels could definitely use an upgrade. The location was very central, with a 24-hour supermarket and several restaurants nearby, which was very convenient. Overall, it’s a good option if you’re looking for a centrally located hotel at a reasonable price.

The room was smaller than I expected, it was clean but a few teenagers that I had to keep killing so they wouldn’t go in my things. The staff was polite and kind. Hardly any English but I used Google Translate so it wasn’t bad. The breakfast was okay, they just needed a wider variety and for it to be hot. The outside of the building would make you not book it if you saw it in person but the interior is very clean and nice. The area looks not so safe, but each time I went outside we were safe so don’t watch the location. There is a nice restaurant across from the casino, the food is great there. As well as a burger cart. The burger slack and it’s for $2.50. My overall experience was good I give them a 4 star. Would go back if I’m traveling to Panama again. I do hope the exterior is upgraded though and them teenagers gone.

We arrived at your hotel at about 2 PM. Both female desk members sat behind the desk with their heads down and never looked up. Finally, after a couple of minutes I had to say hello. They looked up, went through our paperwork and said we have to wait until three for a room, cause it’s not ready. I asked if we could at least complete the paperwork and pay for the room so they don’t have to do every person in line at 3 PM. she decided to do that and when she completed, she gave us a room. It’s quite obvious it was ready five minutes earlier when she told me to sit down she just didn’t feel like doing anything until 3 PM. The rest of the staff was great. The air-conditioning in the room was horrible. 1009. There was mold in numerous locations in the bathroom, which I took pictures of. Also, the Wi-Fi was poor.This is not the quality I expect from a Radisson/Choice hotels brand establishment.

My mom and I had a somewhat comfortable stay at the hotel, it was clean and the staff were all helpful and professional, the restaurant downstairs was a major convenience to us and it was close to great stores. However, on my last day there I got too comfortable and left my purse in the room to reheat my food at the restaurant I didn't realise until I was at the airport to buy stuff that my money was missing. My assumption is that the cleaning staff stole it, on another occassion we had a scare, late afternoon we came back and found our room was left open with all our stuff out in the open. Upon returning home we noticed a few of our items missing. Overall we had a good stay but ensure you secure your belongings.

The front desk staff (all of them) were very friendly, helpful and responsive to our needs. Although there was a huge line-up to get checked in, we were able to leave our luggage (through a ticketing system) and return to check-in later. This was super helpful because we had nowhere to store them until the rooms were ready. We had a problem with the pipes in the bathroom and they got it fixed. The rooms are a little dated and the wifi didn't work in my room (but did just outside the room) but overall, the hotel was a good clean and safe. One thing to note is that the hotel is advertised as having airport transfer. This is not true. The hotel does not have any transfer to or from the airport. This was disappointing because it was one of the main reasons we booked here. This needs to be removed from the amenities. They serve a hearty complimentary breakfast (eggs-boiled and fried, sausage, pancakes, juice, fruit, cereal, rice) which is good when you are on a budget. Overall, our short stay here as a group of 5 was a good experience (apart from the airport transfer).
