Reasonable and convenient to the bus
A decent hotel with a pool. Be sure to ask for a patio or access to pool from your room. The interior room was dreary and bare bones. Second room better. Staff at desk speak English. Lots of restaurants nearby.

Excellent hotel
Very clean, bed very comfortable. Room was made & towels were changed every day. The hotel is located inside a shopping center very convenient to everything. Food at the hotel restaurant was good. However, there is a local restaurant right across the street called Gallo Pinto with excellent food and better price.
Front desk Margarita was the one who checked us in and was very friendly and always ready to help us with all our needs. This is the best hotel in Cocle, Penenome, when we were leaving, the Panamá National football team was coming in to check in.

Bare bones.
We were there 1 night and the place was pretty empty and they put us in a room 3 buildings away from the pool. So went back to inquire about getting something closer and there was a $5.50 charge to upgrade. So when I asked she said those were the rooms that Hotels.com reserve. There was no glasses/ice bucket or coffee maker. Just 2 beds and 2 towels and a TV. So moved to the pool and it was exactly the same just close to the pool. The bed was comfortable enough and breakfast which is not included was good for the modest price.

Welcoming!
Situated at the rear of a commercial Estate, the Hotel was quiet. If you want an enjoyable stay, ensure you can speak Spanish, the Staff, for the main part, were friendly, and helpful. The Hotel itself is clean, well maintained in all areas. The Restaurant has an excellent menu, breakfast, lunch and dinner, which is well prepared and presented at a reasonable price.
The rooms are clean but basic, if I had to level any criticism at all, it would be in this area, they are not soundproofed, and we were unlucky enough to have the room right next to the Kitchens (102) I was woken by Staff preparing for the day at 5am every morning of our stay, you also hear every door close as people leave their rooms. There is a reasonably large wardrobe, but not one hanger, fortunately we arrive prepared. also there is no glass or mug provided in the bathroom, we had to go and buy our own (I have to put my teeth somewhere!) I also like to be able to get up in the night and have a cold drink, or some chocolate, we could have neither, as there is not even a mini fridge. The Hotel could have these available at an extra cost, if they are not prepared to supply them as standard.
Having said that, we enjoyed our stay, it is idea for an overnighter, but pushing it if for a longer vacation. There are a number of fast food outlets nearby, and if you are prepared to walk, good local restaurants as well. I walk with a stick, and still managed to walk down to town.
