Residence Inn by Marriott Panama City

We loved this hotel! We had spent our first few days in Panama at Sortis, which was definitely a bit more luxurious. But we were really impressed with this hotel! It is easily the nicest Residence Inn I have ever stayed at. Large, modern, comfortable rooms, excellent shower, comfortable beds, and top-notch customer service! Our Marriott status was recognized, and we were offered an upgrade at check-in. Staff were friendly, and attentive to our needs. The hotel is connected to a mall, which was really convenient for shopping close by. There is also a strip of restaurants right next door. You cannot go wrong with this hotel!

A very nice hotel downtown. The views from the rooftop pool are to die for. We loved the time we spent at the hotel. We spent the New Years on the rooftop and we had a blast.
Would definitely recommend this place. Would stay here again for sure, when in Panama City !

Fantastic! We stayed 11 nights and loved the place. Great location, attached to the Pacific Center mall, with a kosher supermarket inside and 2 restaurants, great for when we wanted to stay inside with air conditioning.

Staff professional and flexible, our maid accommodated us when we requested the room cleaned at a certain time. Front desk speaks excellent English. They all care about guests.

We had a king studio with beautiful ocean view, very roomy with living area, kitchen, and professional desk and chair.

The rooftop pool had great views of the city and the ocean, especially at night. It was not very crowded.

Breakfast was great with cereal, coffee, fruit, waffles, and more. More lovely views from the breakfast area.

Wednesday they had a free buffet and bar for Bonvoy members on their terrace just outside the reception.

Tips: there are 2 options for Uber pickup, the mall entrance and hotel entrance. For walking out, the mall entrance works better bc it has stairs to the street.

Compares favorably with Residence Inns in the USA.

A fantastic place to stay, especially if looking to be near the Jewish community of Panama. Walking distance from multiple kosher establishments and synagogues.

Hotel lobby breakfast situation is very kosher friendly

My Family and I recently stayed at the Residence Inn in Panama City, the hotel as a very convenient location with easy access to the corredor Sur highway, the staff was always friendly and easy to deal with. The pool on the top roof provides a nice view of the bay.
As this hotel is attached to a mall with restaurants, hospital, grocery store, etc. I think it’s a awesome option for families, also the studio rooms have a kitchen with the essentials, making it easy to prepare your own meals.
Overall I think it’s a fantastic option for your stay in Ciudad de Panama!

This Hotel is very convenient, especially if you are in Panama for medical reasons. The hotel is adjoining the Pacific center, which houses a huge kosher supermarket. Adjacent to the Pacific Center is a fully equipped Hospital called the Panama Clinic. There is also a lab and a pharmacy onsite. Across from the hotel is a 24 hour supermarket.

An excellent hotel in a great location.
Everything was perfect.
The front desk staff were so courteous, accommodating, and helpful and the room was very spacious and super clean.
The restaurant staff were also very helpful and made our entire experience wonderful.
Regarding the location - this hotel is near EVERYTHING! It is adjacent to an indoor mall and there are supermarkets and pharmacies within a 3 minute walk.

Great stay in Panamá City with absolutely the best free breakfast and ocean view of town. The king suite had a beautiful ocean view with lots of space to relax and well-equipped kitchen. They have an awesome 15th floor rooftop pool to relax and gorgeous view. Every day I had scrambled eggs with different sausage selections, waffles with mango syrup coconut and almonds, fresh local fruit, coffee with caramel sauce and vanilla syrup, plus fresh squeezed watermelon and orange juice selections.

Can’t find that at other Marriott locations nor other hotel chains. Service at the hotel was well attentive and I highly recommend this hotel. Easy to get around with cheap Uber rides through out the area.

Great location and modern, clean hotel. When we checked in we asked about a potential suite upgrade, and they offered us a nicer room but explained they were sold out of suites. When one unexpectedly opened up the next day, they called to inform us and upgraded us to the suite for the remainder of the trip!! We were so impressed.

Absolutely excellent stay with 2 kids. Every aspect was perfect for us.

Hotel is pretty new and lovely. Front dest is on the 4th floor

Hotel is in same building as shopping mall so it's extremely convenient.

Totally superior hotel compared to another we used in Panama city. Yanireth, in particular was outstanding in her customer service. The others were ok but she truly wants to help the guest. A few kosher options at breakfast were available. The staff are familiar with Shabbat and will happily let you into your room. Nice clean rooms with fridge and stove top. Thanks for a great stay!

Great location and your home base for business or pleasure in Panama City.

Loved the Hotel , Nice Staff , Clean Rooms, Excellent Location.

From the moment we checked in, we felt like family! Honestly! The place is spotless from top to bottom. The staff is out of this world friendly, generous and caring.

Breakfast: The staff was efficient! Eyes everywhere at all times; even when it was busy we always felt seen! A decent selection! Remember you're not in the US so hot options may not be what you consider tradition breakfast food but it was always tasty! You can also request boiled eggs or omelets if they are not apart of the main menu. But baby.... make sure you ask for the hot sauce! DELICIOUS!

Rooms: Well maintained and fully stocked kitchens. Very spacious and the view from our room was to die for! Beds were comfy and overall decor was welcoming and homey.

Facilities: Rooftop pool and lounge area are super relaxing. Pool closes at 10 but the area stays open to enjoy the breeze with a nice bottle of wine! Truly, my only complaint was the pool could be a bit cleaner but it wasn't filthy by any means just needed a little TLC. But to be honest, that was so low on my list, I didn't bother to stress it. The gym is small but has everything you'll need...elliptical, treadmill, stationary bike, free weights, and two benches. They monitor it nicely by requiring you to sign up and obtaining a special key from the desk. But wait, THERE ARE FREE LAUNDRY SERVICES! Two washers and dryers open all night I believe.

We wanted to try another hotel during planning so we switched to another to end our trip and it was the WORSE idea ever. The Residence Inn cannot be beat!

Overall: Just stay! Lol... or pay for us to come back😂 Thank you family....we'll be back soon enough!

This hotel has a family friendly vibe, it was clean and every morning the buffet had a different selection with healthy and indulgent options. The view from the rooftop pool is stunning. The hotel is located within a shopping area next door to the Panama Clinic and lots of shops and restaurants. It is about a 10 minute walk to the Multiplaza Mall. There is a movie theater next door. Yes I would stay here again! From our room we could see views of the water and city with beautiful sunrises. Everyone is friendly and courteous.

I cannot recommend this place enough. If you have kids and/or keep kosher, do not bother looking at any other hotel. As soon as we got there, the person at the from desk said "the room you got isn't big enough for you and your two kids. I'm going to upgrade you to a bigger room." I didn't even ask.

Anything you want/need, they are at your service. The staff is SO incredibly nice and so helpful. Cleaned our room every day and if we needed anything (ex- extra towels) they delivered them asap.

They had a free breakfast (with some kosher options). Kosher grocery store is in the same building as hotel which was both beautiful and so convenient. Free parking downstairs. Walking distance to kosher restaurants.

Oh, and the room came with a FULL kitchen. Even if you dont keep kosher, I HIGHLY recommend this hotel. We will definitely come back.

One of the best hotels I've ever been. Full kitchen with stove and big refrigerator. Beautiful pool area. Very friendly staff and clean new place

Very new (Opened in 2020) and modern hotel.

Positive:
- Friendly staff
- Nice breakfast dining area and a good variety of breakfast options. They also change a few things daily so you always get something new.
- Continent location, there is a Super 99 supermarket just across the street from the hotel.
- Roof top (15th floor) swimming pool and gym.
- Nice view from the ocean view rooms to the Pacific ocean.

Negative:
- Took a long time to check-in, had to wait ~10 min in front of reception counter just for staff to finish what they were doing before serve me. And it took 20+ min for a check-in process. This is not a Marriott standard...
- Slow internet. Average 4-5 mpbs upload and download. It's was okay, but per today's standard, this should definitely be improved.
- We didn't expect room cleaning service (since pandemic, regular room cleaning service is usually no longer a norm, unless requested). I confirmed with the front desk and indicate our rooms didn't need cleaning service, the employee wrote it down on a request sheet, but the housekeep still entered out room and did the cleaning service. TWO DAYS IN A ROW. Not sure why front desk couldn't communicate this to the housekeeping team.
- Low shower water pressure.

Overall, it's a great hotel and I would recommend it to anyone.

Have stayed here multiple times. Staff is great. Rooms all have kitchenettes. The included breakfast was good. Kids loved the bread/pastry table. It’s connected to a small indoor shopping center, and a few minutes from MultiPlaza. There’s a grocery store across the street, too. Oh, and they have washer/dryer available for free on the top floor by the pool.
