Excellent hotel. The staff is very courteous and always helpful. The rooms are simple simple but it's sparkling clean. The bathroom is ample with a nice hot water pressure.. We reserve the suite, which includes living room, a small dining table and chair, fridge and microwave and a sink. I have stayed at this hotel 5 times during 2025 and plan on returning during 2025.

I booked this hotel due to an unexpected stay in Panama City, due to a flight delay. According to the description of the property on Expedia, this hotel was close to the airport and had an airport shuttle. It turned out that the hotel was about 15 miles from the airport, in downtown Panama City, in a not so great neighborhood. The Best Western did not have an airport shuttle. The room itself was fine and the hotel staff were courteous and attentive.

The room was always clean. However, we got transferred because the toilet was overflowing with water that was about to flow into the room. Then, another thing happened. The room we transferred to had a door malfunction so we were locked out until 12 pm. It was remedied fast though, and overall we had a wonderful stay. I loved the breakfast.

I really like the property and have been there many times, but on our last stay they were doing construction early in the morning. Also, the wifi was not working on the first floor towards the front. Other than that, they have done a good job with renovations. I recommend the Best Western El Dorado just make sure they give you a room away from what's left of the renovations.

Nice hotel and nice room on the inside, but located in a seedy part of the city fairly far away from city sights and the airport, and where they don’t recommend walking at night. There’s a TGI Fridays connected to the hotel with good American food. The pool looked nice but I didn’t use it. Staff was friendly and helpful.
