The Panama Hotel is a wonderfully preserved piece of history inside and out. The Chickadee room had a neat little corner sink which was very convenient and a comfy bed but you can hear street noise through the single-pane windows. Early/late bag drop is an excellent service and I felt comfortable leaving my bag in the office upstairs. It is preferred not to roll luggage across the floor so be prepared to carry it up the stairs and into your room. The hotel is located in the International district and it's a nice couple mile walk to Seattle Center area attractions, Olympic Sculpture Park, Public Market, Post Alley and the Seattle Art Museum. I found a hidden gem in the Waterfall Garden Park on the way home. I really enjoyed the walk back home down 1st Ave from Post Alley. Jan was a wealth of information about local history, the hotel and area stores. If you have a moment, I recommend chatting about the place!
