We had such a lovely time at the Panama! It's a gorgeous and historical building in a perfect spot in the International District near great restaurants and easy transportation. You can easily tell that Jan and others working in the hotel truly want you to have a comfortable visit. The shared bathrooms were never an issue for us—we rarely crossed paths with others staying at the hotel. If you're able to treat the building and furniture with respect, then this is the perfect place to stay for a few nights at a great price and location.
