I like the place and the waiters. The prawn taco was amazing but the brunch eggs were without flavor and a little bit cold the burger is also good. |The drinks are good too.|But it is definitely a place to come back. So far it was not my favorite place related to the food taste but I wanna try it again.

5/5
We spent 7 nights here. A great choice if looking for a nice place in Casco Viejo. The building is historic and the interior shows it but in a good way. Meticulously maintained and restored its a beautiful motel. The elevator itself, the first elevator in Panama City..it is slow but seriously....are you in that big of a rush..? The rooms are very nice, possibly the most comfortable bed/ pillows I have slept in in years..did not want to get out...!!! But we had to...to explore the wonderful Casco Viejo area. The only negative is the extremely slow service in the restaurant. It's like we were the only people in there and still....a turtle moves faster.. But the food was very good. Quite possibly one of the best Hamburgers I have eaten in Panama. I would definitely stay here again. The view, the bed, food, and location make this a Winner..5 stars...!!!!!!
