My friend and I had a good night at the Panama hotel. The staff was very welcoming. We appreciated the staff's honesty about the safety in the area and recommendations of where to go or not in the neighborhood, especially at night. The place has several cute cats roaming around the corridors. The adjacent teahouse is delicious. The owner are serious about keeping the building safe, which is good but also means that sometimes it can be complicated/take time to enter the hotel.
