We LOVE the Panama Hotel. With its rich history, beautiful architecture, central location, and affordable price, this place embodies the uniqueness of Seattle. Yes, there is no AC, you have to pay for parking, and no private bathrooms- but it does not take away from the experience. The bathrooms are clean and stocked with necessities, and are decorated with the age of the hotel in mind. The room was incredibly beautiful especially with the setting sun, and the bed was very comfortable. As two young girls by ourselves, we also felt extremely safe, and everyone we ran into at the hotel was friendly (including other guests). Jan, the owner, was extremely personable and we really enjoyed speaking to her- about history, our safety, or other travel tips. She is a very dedicated hotel owner and the hard work of her and her staff can be seen everywhere. Overall a wonderful stay and we would recommend it to any other young people looking for an affordable and unique place in Seattle.
