Nice hotel, but Marriot Panama is a better deal
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/28/07
I came to Panama for two weeks for business, and all the well known hotels were booked so I had to split my stay at different hotels. I feel that the Marriot Panama is a newer hotel, with much better infrastructure than the Crowne Plaza Panama. The rooms were better at the Marriot. The internet service at the Crowne was very slow and crashed during peak hours (6AM-8AM, and 6pm-8pm). The breakfast is average. This hotel is good, but I feel that the Marriot Panama is a better deal. My corporate fare was 40% lower at the Marriot. Go figure! I would return only if there is no availability somewhere else.
