I feel like I have been in the Marriott tour of the South!!! This one is the winner! Keep in mind,…read moreI didn't try any of the food, or the gym. But the check in by Paula was the best, kindest and most professional. The bed was the most comfortable, I loved the Juliet balcony . The room felt clean and it was the quietest of all of the places if had been. And let's talk water pressure!!! It seems every Marriott bathroom looks and feels the same. The difference is the water pressure, and this one has amazing water pressure. I loved this shower!!! Of all of my recent Marriott stays in LA, Alabama and Florida--- this one is the best!!!

I could see this if it was a downtown location with limited parking, but there is absolutely no excuse for this. I am absolutely sick and tired of businesses trying to stick these extra fees to their customers. That is the tackiest, low-class thing I can imagine! Unless they reverse this asinine policy, I will never, ever stay at this hotel again! One other thing to mention is that the hotel room smelled old and kind of musty with popcorn ceilings. Definitely not one of the nicer Courtyards I've ever stayed at.

It wasn't super busy when we arrived, but as the night went on, it picked up. Even though there weren't that many people there, the people who were there were partying. They had good music and the waitstaff was awesome. Our server danced with my friend at one point since there were way more women there than men. The DJ also played "line dance" music which got a lot of the ladies out of their chairs. The drinks are strong and pretty cheap because everything is cheap in Panamá compared to the States. When we left, the restaurant downstairs was hopping. It seems that Tántalo basically turns into a nightclub in the evening. We didn't eat at the restaurant, but they apparently have really good food. It is also a hotel. Not sure if the noise from the bar is a problem for hotel guests at night, but it is something to consider if you're planning to stay there.

I am here this week on a business trip and am very happy with my hotel…read more The rooms are large and very clean. The main areas are inviting and the bar/restaurant is very nice. I love that they have coffee and cold water ready near the elevators all day and night. There is a refrigerator and microwave in the rooms along with the usual coffee fixings. The staff is friendly and very helpful.

I received the address the day we were leaving and it was 20 mins from the beach which is not was I was told when I called. I called hotels.com and they called the hotel. I was charged for a night and I wouldn't have even booked that hotel if I wouldn't have been given misinformation.

At around 3 o'clock in the morning of the 31st, my wife was awakened because the bedbug was on her face. We found traces of other organic material on the sheets. We did take pictures see attached. Showered bagged all of clothing and PJ's and exited the room by 4:30 am. We went to the counter and advised the desk. They were very calm and acted as if it was nothing. I ask for a refund and cancelation of my second night in the hotel. There was no offer of assistance getting a room at another hotel or an apology for the dirty room. We got coffee and went to Laundry Bros (open 24hrs) and washed everything. If you would like the pictures email me a request at xxx@xxxx. Your rating is now -1 in my book.

The beaches here are beautiful but definitely get crowded.

Lots of changes since the last 2015 Yelp review. I've stayed at this hotel twice, in Oct '16 for…read more1-mo & for 2-wks in Feb '17. Is it perfect? No. Is it better than other modestly priced hotels? Depends. Check-In: * The good? Esther Spears, the General Manager often working the front desk is a doll... organized, thorough & pleasant. So is Chester, who works evenings. * The bad? All other front desk staff I've come in contact with are surly, aren't adept with skills & need further customer service & computer training. On my last trip, an older woman (Candie or some other cutsie pie name) distracted by her young, annoying granddaughter racing about took THIRTY min to check me into the wrong room... not cleaned, smoking. I returned & needed to wait in line for 20-min before being "helped" a 2nd time, only to be told there were no more rooms left. I waited 5-days for a NS room... nice... I & all my belongings wreaked of smoke by then. Amanda is quite rude, as well. She needs to be reminded she is Customer Service. On both stays, I've experienced people who gave me multiple answers to the same question in the same conversation, speak loudly & angrily at me when I asked for clarification (I hear quite well & speak English as a 1st language, cheers very much) & are dismissive in behavior & words when daring to bother them to do their jobs. Management needs to address their employee problem. The Rooms: * The good? Housekeeping staff works hard & are very professional women. If you stay a week or more, don't forget to leave a tip... these woman earn their pay. I've seen them standing on step ladders, washing down the tops of fridges & inside stove vents. Rooms are thoroughly cleaned, top to bottom. Full sized fridge, 2 stove top burners & microwave make home cooking possible. Lots of cabinet space, too, over & under the sink. (You can rent pots/pans/dishes/silverware/coffee pot at the front desk for about $20/wk, use your own or go to WalMart directly across the street to p/u a few things.) Also, a decent flat screen TV is a plus, but as Starz is the only movie channel, well, blah. You won't catch your fave HBO show here, but they do have all 4 major cable news channels, TWC & a pile of ESPN channels, if you're a sports junkie. * The bad? As someone said 2-yrs ago, everything smells of smoke. Since my Oct stay they've made the 3rd floor non-smoking, but smoke can be smelled all around as careless guests smoke in all the hallways AND the elevator & it rises up from the 2nd floor. Honestly, the 1st floor should be the NS floor. The Area: Callaway is a decent, safe section of PCity. 60-sec walk to several places to eat, on the same side of the street... Dairy Queen, Beef O'Brady's, a Chinese place & Starbucks. Frequently used outdoor ATM just next door, as well. WalMart, Sally's, Dollar Tree are across the street. Drive cuz the traffic is 50mph & you've got to sprint across 4 lanes. Winn Dixie is 1.5-mi away. The best? Price is approx $260/wk. If you book online at their website, it's cheapest, even for nightly stays ($60 for a walk in... ouch). Comfy beds. Basic WiFi is now free with a decent signal. (Note: With spring break, the hotel jumped to $450/wk, as have all FL hotels.) The worst? A/C-heating wall units turn on-off all night, waking me continually... as I'm a light sleeper, I was exhausted the entire stay. For that reason alone, I wouldn't stay again. Sadly, I'd forgotten about that since my stay 6-mos ago. For me, -1* for the a/c alone. An after hours phone is in front of the desk, which is blocked off via gate between 9pm & 9am & a bigger chunk of time on the weekends, but good luck ever getting anyone to answer. Meaning... don't loose your key or try to check in after 9pm or expect to be helped after their posted hours. There's always a 20+ min wait at the front desk for any reason... you need a laundry card (the only way to operate the machines), you have to reset your key, anything else. They really do need 2 people present at all times. They can have a dicey clientele. Many rooms are stuffed with 2 adults & 2-4 kids or glassy eyed couples, some who are locked out for varying reasons at the end of the week. The biggest problem with that is I've been locked out TWICE. The last time, I had to beg housekeeping to let me into my room, as their Sun front desk hours begin at 3pm. It was noon & I was ill & determined to haunt her 'til she let me in. A $5 helped, but still... I paid for my room, don't tell me I'm not entitled to be in it for 3-hrs! They need to sort this out... it's very frustrating. NOTE: It's extended stay, so has different rules than hotels. READ the pamphlet given at check-in or on the website Re: room cleaning, linen change, so there are no complaints should you be charged $9/wk for extra cleaning, etc. It's your $... read or ask Esther or Chester.

Staff is rude, doesn't care and can't be bothered. Agreement requires you clean your own room before check out or else you pay for them to clean, what crap is that. Would never recommend this place again. Would rather sleep in my car then stay there. They have a good website but it is a complete lie, don't go.
