Unbelievable, beyond neglected. Room dirty, air condition not working, vents rusted, dirty and old, shower dirty old furniture with stains. I couldn’t believe this was an actual guest room more like a deposit with 2 beds and small refrigerator. When brought up to the attention to move to another room and I specifically said please do not give this rooms to other guest. I am embarrassed to say this was once Hotel Panama. Not anymore. Believe me some Motels are better. Don’t waste your money here.
