This was an excellent little hotel. I really enjoyed my stay at the Panama. The tea house downstairs was lovely and the service was great. The old photos and links to the history of the area made the place very special. Jan and the folks working at the Panama were very responsive and helpful. The room was so cool. I was warned a little about the location from folks who know the area, but honestly I felt really safe and thought the area was great. Very easy to get to the conference center, just a few short blocks from the water, and lots a places nearby to grab a good bite.
