1st thing the pickup taxi did not arrive at airport. They got the dates completely wrong. 2nd The bathroom was outside the bedroom. 3rd The aircon didn’t work but they did fix it for the 2nd night. It’s more of a hostel than a hotel. Location is good.

Well I ended up cancelling my trip, I contacted the hotel 36 hrs before my check in to request a refund, and they said NO. Obvi when I go back to Panama i wont be staying there, im glad I only paid $36 for the night, and used my expedia points (which I wont get back) just bc they didnt want to issue a refund.

So this is a budget property. Does what it says on the tin. A/c in room is fine - bed comfy - rooms small - bathroom even smaller. Like most of Casco no lifts to rooms. But for overnight - great location.
