4/5 Cindy C. 1 year ago on Google
Let
me
preface
that
I
had
a
free
room
with
points
here
for
two
nights,
so
it’s
hard
to
complain
about
anything
for
free.
In
addition,
I
picked
this
hotel
because
of
its
proximity
to
our
Avis
car
drop
off
which
was
a
1/2
block
away.
And
it
was
on
our
tail-end
of
our
trip
so
we
could
regroup
before
we
flew
back.
All
that
being
said,
the
hotel
was
perfect
for
us.
Plus,
all
the
standard
Hampton
Inn
comforts
of
their
cozy
beds,
which
I
do
love.
And
a
super
friendly
and
over-accommodating
staff.
Christian
Flores
who
checked
us
in
was
so
lovely
and
he
went
beyond
the
call
of
duty
when
he
also
placed
a
phone
call
for
me
in
a
panic
when
my
Spanish
couldn’t
interrupt
a
situation.
Seriously,
he
is
what
every
hotel
wants
in
a
staff
member.
Hilton
is
lucky
to
have
him.
We
were
also
greeted
by
the
friendliest
cleaning
person
in
Panama
when
we
arrived
who
was
down
the
hall
cleaning
other
rooms.
Her
smile
and
enthusiasm
for
her
job
was
over
the
top
amazing.
And
we
left
her
a
lovely
tip.
The
hotel
seemed
to
attract
lots
of
tourists
with
kids,
which
is
not
my
jam.
The
free
breakfast
buffet
was
packed
every
day
but
it
did
not
appeal
to
us
after
fabulous
meals
all
over
the
country.
(The
eggs
were
runny
and
the
fruit
not
as
fresh
as
our
other
hotels
with
free
breakfasts,
so
we
skipped
breakfast
entirely.).
But
it
was
busy,
so
this
is
clearly
a
picky
point
of
view.
Our
room
was
totally
fine,
except
someone
forgot
to
re-install
a
fire
alarm,
which
was
ripped
out
of
the
ceiling.
I
didn’t
plan
to
start
a
fire,
but
it
certainly
makes
me
feel
a
tad
more
secure
to
see
an
actual
fire
alarm.
View
from
our
room
was
lovely.
And
we
checked
out
the
pool
before
we
left
but
were
too
busy
to
enjoy
it.
Plus
it
was
full
of
screaming
kids,
so
not
relaxing
even
if
we
did
have
time.
Free
parking
for
our
rental
car,
which
was
great.
And
we
loved
the
local
photo
scenes
around
the
place
that
make
Panama
so
unique.
Shower
was
also
nice
and
big.
Plus
lots
of
Sink
counter
space
and
desk
counter
space,
which
is
always
a
bonus.
But
because
this
hotel
is
clearly
a
tourist
location
for
families,
they
had
private
vendors
in
the
lobby
selling
“tourist
packages”
to
the
canal
and
other
locations.
These
vendors
were
aggressive
and
annoying.
Feels
like
a
Times
Square
hustler.
My
suggestion
is
to
get
rid
of
these
vendors.
It
cheapens
the
hotel
which
is
an
international
brand.
This
part
of
El
Cangrejo
is
a
little
more
busy
and
not
as
residential
as
well.
Again,
it
served
our
purpose
&
the
price
was
right.
And
if
you
are
a
Hilton
Rewards
member,
it
will
feel
familiar
and
you
can
get
or
exchange
points
like
me
too.
