Residence Inn by Marriott Panama City

The room

The room was great and the view fantastic. The location of the hotel inside a small shopping mall was also helpful.

We originally requested a corner room. We had to wait until 6ish as someone in the room had late checkout (they did offer a standard room earlier). Once we got into the room, it overlooked the inside of the mall and we felt like there is no privacy. So requested a room change. We got a standard room which was fine. Bed was very comfy. Kitchen well equipped. Bathroom was huge. Room was clean but housekeeping didn't replenish everything. There was no more coffee the next morning and shower gel ran out too which wasn't refilled. Small things, but they could pay attention to it. Pillows smelled a bit damp. Breakfast was good, quite basic but enough. The rooftop pool was very cozy and nice views. Area is very safe and handy for shopping. I would suggest getting a room above the 5th floor as those don't overlook the mall.

I recommend this hotel to everyone! The location within the complex was ideal! I got my COVID test done at the Panama Clinic plus shopped in the mall. We ate at the restaurant within the hotel a few nights! Very reasonably priced and Alexander was a great waiter! The directions to this hotel are confusing! The main entrance is just beyond the restaurant Texas de Brazil! You will be entering the mall but the hotel entrance PB is on your left! Then you need to take the elevator up to LC where the reception is ! I paid $765 USD for 4 nights! Very good value for a beautiful hotel!

The location is ideal. Near two major malls and plenty of restaurants.
