Nowadays, the demand for everything is newer, faster, and better. Stepping into Panama Hotel, it seems like we entered a time machine & returned to 1910. Everything is beautifully restored & maintained. My friend and I were in awe since we had never stayed at a historic hotel. As we learned more about the hotel's history, we became more appreciative of the amount of work & dedication for Jen to keep this place running. The room is simple but comfortable. Since there is hardly any electronics in the building, it gives off a sense of coolness & calmness. The bathroom is clean with a touch of art, and the shower is neat with solid water pressure. The staff are friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The only disadvantage is the location of this hotel. Some homeless population occupies it at night, but it is safe to explore Japan/China town in the daytime. Hopefully, the area will continue to improve after the pandemic.
