While I wasn't wild about Panama City overall, I enjoyed staying at this hotel. The staff were really nice and remembered my name, and the room was clean and comfortable. I had to pay for Internet access but the connection was fast. Breakfast was pretty good too. I enjoyed swimming at the fourth floor pool one evening; had it to... more

I'm elite in the InterContinental program and was upgraded to what was essentially a one bedroom apt even though I booked the lowest room rate. Kitchen area had a full size frig and included a reasonably priced mini-bar. Dining table for 4. Bedroom was in a separate room. Rooms were very clean, looked new, bed was very comfortable, front desk... more

The Good: Clean, safe and secure. Great service from front desk staff and bellhops. Good sized rooms with comfortable beds. Located in a safe and busy area with several hotels, casinos, shopping, and restaurants within walking distance. The Bad: Hotel is fairly dead compared to others in the area which obviously had more guests and better a vibe overall. Small,... more

I spent two days in Panama for leisure, on the way back from a business trip. I had booked a room in the Crowne Plaza because I was looking for a hotel with a free shuttle from the airport, with internet and a swimming pool, and that would be centrally located. I was thoroughly disappointed. Although I had been told... more

I stayed at the Crowne Plaza Panama on two occasions in November. I stayed here for one night both times. The beds are very, very comfortable. The rooms are modern, although internet cost $41 for 72 hrs. Things are extremely quiet around the hotel -- and I was occupying a room during the independence parade that was right on the... more

WE stayed one night upon arrival in Panama & one night prior to leaving. I upgraded our package trip to stay in the Crown Plaza because I think of them as a deluxe hotel. This was just average. The room was clean but nothing special. Most of the staff was very helpful but we received a call late on the... more

we have just return from 5 days at Crown Plaza. check-in was really fast and people of staff were very helpful and nice. the rooms are nice, clean and very comfortable. breakfast is delicious and the service at the restaurant is excelent. The only thing I didn't like is the non-smoking policy, you have to go outside to smoke because... more

The Crowne Plaza in Panama was my home away from home when I brought 8 very experienced travelers to Panama City for the first time. Hotel staff was nice, knowledgeable. Rooms well appointed, clean, comfortable- if traffic noise is an issue, please ask for a room on the back side. Location within walking distance of 3 casinos, several local area... more

The Crown Plaza Hotel leaves a lot to be desired. It was given a good review in Frommer's Panama, but it was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. It actually has potential, but is very badly managed. They are NOT able to accommodate a non-smoker. I requested a non-smoking room upon booking and was told no problem. The... more
