I went anyway. Lovely clean quiet spot. I missed breakfast but they made it for me. Helped me get a far cheaper ride back to PTY.

It had a nice hot shower. The neighborhood is very nice. For a short walk there's a shopping center with a restaurant. The only thing is be aware that the staff did not speak English. ##### leslie Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cat Mar 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The parking is tight but covered.

The room was large but old and updated a big plus it had hot water, they advertised a restaurant but did not have one. The key to the room was padlocked to the key for the air conditioner in other words if you had two people in the room and one stayed behind you either had to leave that person without ac or you just had to ring the front door bell and wait to be let inn. Like I said just okay ##### Edward Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vitaly Mar 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Calm staying and pool between flights It was a short 2-nights stay after a transatlantic flight. The property is close to the city center (by taxi) and both the national (10 min drive) international (25 min) airports. The pool was essential - first days were tough (hot and humidity). The breakfast lacks fruits. The staff is very friendly. Serenity and tranquility - were happy that didn’t stay in the central (noisy) locations. ##### Vitaly Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clinton Sep 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It's a small hotel in a nice residential area. I could park our rental car right in front, no fighting downtown traffic or searching for a parking spot in Casco Viejo. Most touristy spots are a $5 Uber ride away if you don't have a car. Since the hotel is so small the pool area and courtyard are peaceful. The AC worked well. There were agoutis playing in the yard across the street. There aren't many services within walking range, so if you don't have a car, you may have to use Uber to get to a restaurant or use Uber Eats for food. They will cook you breakfast at the hotel. ##### Clinton Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Lynette J May 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Meh! The pros: quiet - in residential area, clean, AC worked well once turned on, comfortable bed. Close to Albrook airport. Felt safe as single woman. Cons: HARD to find; Uber guy and I searched for 10 minutes d/t lack of signage & the facade doesn’t look like a hotel. NOTHING like the pictures….. I’ll say that again… NOTHING… not even close ; kudos the the marketing person! ;0) I should have taken pictures but I was too tired after traveling all day! Very Spartan. White walls, white linens, no artwork. Bars on the windows with no view. OLD… doors are warped & I got locked in my room when I was checking out. I had to jimmy the lock! Towels were gray and needed a good bleaching. The microwave looked to be from the late 70s. Fridge was maybe 90s. “Furniture” was built in concrete. No wood in the room! Amenities: when I arrived nothing was plugged in or turned on. I only needed the air and it took about 2 hrs to cool the room. There is nothing to eat within walking distance when it’s dark. If you uber it, the mall is close. There are no cups, glasses, or water in the room. Small generic shampoo and the smallest bar of soap I’ve ever seen! There was a sign on the reception “desk” that said $90/nt. After spending $56 I didn’t feel cheated… but at $90!!! Hell no!! Cheers! ##### Lynette J Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Lazaria Feb 28, 2026 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff was very kind .
