My husband and I stayed here twice, on the way in and the way out of Panama for our honeymoon. Both times the rooms were very clean. The staff was incredibly helpful, providing recommendations for a late night meal and assisting us with a late check out. The hotel remains under contruction, but the workers were quiet, polite, and friendly. Hotel continental seems like an excellent value for the price.

I scheduled a publishers meeting the october 19th at 9:30 am. I arrived there like 8:30 am . The hostess was kind, and then I went to a sofa to wait the other publishers, they are from differente countries. Then, a security guard called Legister started to asking me some questions, Who are you waiting with? why are you waiting here? I responded to him every single question that he asked me. Then, he came a second time, telling me this: My supervisor and the Hotel owner are asking me what are you doing here...
In the next 10 minutes, I met a group of females, and they told me they were guests in the Hotel, and participating in the National speech competition, organized by Cable and Wireless. Then, a second coworker arrived, a woman called Casilda, and she told me, my publisher was not in the Hotel... OF course I wasn't a guest, because I scheduled them to go to the restaurant!!! by the way, I wasn't dressed inappropriately... I was wearing my tailor suit. Even if I was dressed as a tourist, I mean in bermudas and t shirt, it doesnt matter, because it was not a way to treat a guest or a future guest, or invited by a guest.... You loose an important guest, and important future relations with my publishing company, and I definitely going to tell this experience to ever single contact that I have when they ask me about a Panama City hotel to go... Bad luck... I have learned from my parents to be kind with people, doesn't matter how the people look like... I am an panamenian artist, writer and editor and I heard good references from them. But it was the WORST!!!! Never more
