Loved everything about our stay. Nice location (quiet, but close to where things are happening), clean room, cool building, great communication. The staff, and in particular the manager, is very friendly and attentive, and took the time to get to know us and our plans in order to help us get the most out of our trip. Would definitely stay here again :)

A good walking distance to Duval, away from the noise. Close walking to a few other out of the way places, which was nice. Room AC worked well and rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable about places to visit and directions to get there. You can Uber from the hotel to anywhere for a reasonable fee and it’s pretty quick and easy.

Great accommodations, Panama Suite was perfect. Very clean, well stocked, great amount of space, and park outside the front door was nice! Perfect location, very walkable to everything, but just far enough away to where it was very quiet. Great communication by staff as well. I highly recommend!

I was in room 9. Wood flooring furnished with huge four poster bed. It is about a 15 minute walk to Duval main strip which is no problem for me. Make sure to have a few relaxion sessions sitting on the rocking chairs!

Lovely historic building with modern touches, converted to a hotel in a reasonably quiet part of town. Located in the middle of the island’s old town, you can walk pretty much anywhere in 5-20 minutes, and we did. The restaurant across the street is also excellent. Reasonable sized units, and the semi-private covered patio makes you not want to leave. Far enough away from the Duvall St partying that you don’t hear or see it, but close enough to be accessible. Safe neighborhood. Abundant chickens nearby.
