The Panama Hotel is a very cool historic place to stay, and it’s in a great location within the International District of Seattle. There is so much history around, you really kind of feel transported back in time. The room (Writer’s Room, named after one of my favorites, Tom Robbins) was cozy and comfortable, and I had easy access to all the amenities I needed. If, however, you are a coffee first thing in the morning just be prepared that there is not a coffee maker in the room and the coffee shop downstairs doesn’t open until 9am. No problems with check-in or coming back late and checking with the door person to be let back in at night.
