What guests think

At Residence Inn by Marriott Panama City, guests consistently praise the convenient setting attached to a shopping mall, spacious apartment-style rooms with kitchens and views, friendly service, and a popular complimentary breakfast that many find varied and satisfying.

Common drawbacks include confusing building access and occasional maintenance or in-room issues such as TV or shower problems, uneven Wi-Fi, and noise or limited natural light in some mall-facing rooms. The rooftop pool and gym are appreciated, though the pool can be busy or temporarily closed and bar service is reported slow or inexperienced. Overall, this is a convenient, modern base best suited to travelers who value space, self-catering, and easy access to amenities.

Spacious Room with no view, a view into a mall and really dark! Elevators and pool need to be cleaned much better, floors are dirty. Area around property is nice with dining and shopping options. If the hotel gets cleaned much better, it could get a 5!

The staff was good. The breakfast was very good and the morning staff was excellent. Very good service. The lady who made the omelettes was great. I didn't like the room. The windows look at the mall, not the outside. It was extremely dark even during the day. I wish they have gave us another room. We stayed for 1 week and were able to enjoy the pool only 2 days. The other 5 days it was under mantainance. I wish they have told us beforehand. We chose this hotel because of the pool. They offered free transportation to the pool in another hotel but it wasn't that convenient. Hope they can solve these issues.

Loved the friendliness of the staff! The pool was excellent. Conveniently located close to grocery store Super 99 and the Ubers came fast. They gave us a handicap room which the shower didn’t work but they came quickly to get the water flowing. Having a kitchen and laundry facilities was a great benefit. And the coffee at the included breakfast was always good and hot! Very good experience and I would recommend and stay here again.

Pros: Good free breakfast. Nice views out the restaurant windows too. There is a supermarket across the street. Nice swimming pool. Special thanks to Kasey at the front desk for her exceptional service. Cons: The gym equipment is limited. If you don't like noise, avoid the cheaper north-facing rooms, as the large fans on the shopping center roof below run constantly. Better to pay more and book a south-facing ocean-view room. The bathroom faucet was stiff and hard to control. Very annoying. Worn-out faucet cartridges seem a common problem in Marriott hotels. The fridge was noisy, so we unplugged it at night, and used a pot of ice-cubes to keep our food cool. There are no pedestrian lights in Panama City, so crossing the streets is always risky. The immediate neighborhood was fairly clean, but going west one block, the trash littering the streets was horrifying. Overall, Panama has a disgraceful littering problem. The government does not seem to care about tourists. This hotel seemed to have been renovated, but it did not seem new, contrary to what I had read previously. Overall, this hotel was good, and we enjoyed our stay. In Panama City, I recommend Ancon Hill, the Metropolitan Natural Park, and the Punta Culebra Nature Center. If you like malls, try the Multi-Plaza and the Albrook Mall. The Lady of Mount Carmel Church exterior is beautiful, and a sharp contrast with the surrounding neighborhood. Also, the Metro trains are clean, pleasant, and well worth riding.

We had a great room that was clean and comfortable. The only downside was the sofa bed's mattress was a bit springy. We only wish that was more firm. The hotel itself was well-managed. Breakfast was great! One of the best breakfasts we've had at a hotel. Many options for breakfast. The hotel is situated right next to a shopping mall which was very convenient. The shopping mall has a great food court which we used almost every day. The food options at the food court are rather great. We had a rental car and parking was available in the mall's underground parking. We had a great time at this hotel and in Panama overall. We recommend the Residence Inn.

My only complaint is that I was given a handicapped room when I didn’t ask for one. The room was still nice , but I prefer showers in a non handicapped room. But I would definitely stay here again.

The infrastructure is good, the service is poor. The day I checked in, nobody got a room at the right time as they were not ready. During breakfast time, there were missing items in the menu everyday, even napkins; finally, we asked to clean the room just one day, and it was not done… so, I doubt ti recommend it.

Breakfast was amazing. Towels were not soft at all, had initial issues with shower head not working, one of the remotes was taped with electrical tape and bed made odd loud sound. The people at the bar don’t know how to make drinks even though they advertise Happy Hour as we saw them search up recipients and taste drinks prior to serving them. The staff was very sweet and attentive but I would not rate as a 4 star hotel.

Despite our positive review there were some problems: - air cond was either too cold or too hot.

However lack of elevator assistance on Sabbath was inexcusable.
