    “Un Hotel de excelente atención, un personal super amable, destacando su limpieza y pulcritud de sus instalaciones. Sumado a una ubicación destacada a dos cuadras del Metro, Est. Vía Argentina, pudiendo llegar hasta el aeropuerto de Tocumen o para el otro sentido al centro comercial y de trasportes Albrouk . No tome desayuno en el hotel, pero en la cuadra e inmediaciones abundan los locales gastronómicos y cafeterias -”
