10/10 Exceptional

We always stay at the Crowne Plaza on our past through Panama city to David. This recent visit was exceptional. The reservation staff were very accommodating in offering us a room without reservations. We had dinner in the restaurant and a drink afterward at the bar. All the staff were kind, personable, and attentive. My husband and myself also commented on the decor of the lobby area looking as though it had been remodeled, very clean and tidy. I would also like to mention the airport shuttle driver who was just as personable, helpful, and very timely. Thank you again, Crowne Plaza for a delightful stay.

6/10 Good

The initial room that was assigned to me did not have hot water so I had to get reassigned to another room with no balcony as they did not have any available, but accommodated me and my guest with 2 nights free dinner buffet. The rooms are dated and could use some modern remodeling. The property is in a good location for the metro, public bus and in walking distance to restaurants and a grocery store

An enjoyable and relaxing stay in Panama City

Really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The hotel is in good condition / well decorated / furnished. The room allocated was spacious, cleaned very day and very comfortable. The gym and pool area were very nice. Some additional sun loungers would be good as there were only 2 or 3. The gym was well equipped. The hotel provides washing and drying machines (need to buy your own detergent locally). Around the hotel there are plenty of eating and shopping options. If you are going further afield for example to the old city then you will need to get a taxi or Uber. These are incredibly cheap. It’ll cost about $3 for the ride. The breakfast provided by the hotel was satisfactory with hot and cold options available. There is a shop onsite selling drinks, snacks and gifts. All of the staff I encountered were friendly, helpful and professional. I would stay at the hotel again if returning to Panama City.

4/10 Fair

Check-in was a breeze ...... maybe because the night clerk did not ask for my credit card that I used for reservation. I only showed him my ID and my fiancee Panamanian ID. I told the clerk that she would be arriving soon. That was about the total of our conversation. He gave me 2 electronic keys and told me my room number. He then said have a nice stay and good night. Well low and behold, I checked my debit card account and I was charged an additional $200 on a bogus higher rate! The time and stress to get this solved was not worth the stay at all. I have to give an atta boy to the restaurant staff that provided very good breakfasts and additionsl assistance at the drop of a hat to help 👍 Now, the two main reasons I would recommend this hotel are ..... 1.) The upper hallways are carpeted and the smell of musty old mold is present. Even portable unots in the hallways did not help! The carpets need to be ripped out immediately and replaced with tile. Even though our room had tile .... The stench permiated right into the rooms. 2.) The loud music being played out on the street rifled right through the building. This is not a place to relax .... but more suited for all the immigration officers being put up. So it is a little busy at breakfast due to colume of people. I witnessed several buses unloading many people. In fact, I had just checked in, and then a bus load of people came. There were so many that the entrance to the hotel was blocked. Had a hard time getting outside
