Panama Hotel is an amazing historical hotel. If you’re looking for a unique experience and are interested in learning about the history of the Japanese people in Seattle pre and post WW2, then you should stay here! Jan was an excellent host. She is very passionate about the hotel and it’s important past. She also has great recommendations for places to eat and sight see around Seattle. She’s a very cool lady with a welcoming and warm presence. I really enjoyed chatting with her. The hotel is very pretty and the rooms are all unique. The shared shower and bathroom were kept clean, and it actually wasn’t inconvenient to use them. I didn’t have to wait in line at any point and the water in the shower was nice and hot after walking around in the rain all day. The cafe downstairs also has great drinks and is a really relaxing spot to sit down and start your day!
