Great value hotel with a great view. Conveniently close to many restaurants, but be wary if staying adjacent to the restaurant next door, as the music does go on late into tbe night.

This is a nice property, it have a nice vibe. room was spacious, and clean. The balcony add a special touch to the room. The rooms offer you a bay or city view, which both views are espectacular. There’s many restaurants option at just walking distance, literally right beside the property. Now they definitely need to work on the breakfast options. if you’re driving parking is super easy and convenience. There’s no pool or spa at least I didn’t saw one. The staff OMG!! They were so accommodating and nice. Special thanks to Nikolle, she was amazing answering all the questions I have, giving me suggestions on what was around and places to experience. She was a real team player. Overall I have to say I will definitely be back to the MARINN.

Great location
We were leery about staying here because of the past reviews. However, our stay was very enjoyable. All the staff were excellent. Bed was very comfortable. Our room was remodeled. Breakfast was good. Made to order eggs and pancakes. very close to ferry. Was a bit noisy at night, but we stayed on the weekend.

Find another hotel!!!!!
The room was mostly clean but we had to clean the bathroom ourselves. No one at the hotel spoke much English and the breakfast was had to figure out as no one in the restaurant could speak English either and the breakfast was a meat sandwich with baked beans. There was also a concert in the parking lot the night we stayed there that did not quit until after midnight. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone!

Scam. Beware!
Scam! Beware! If you need to stay a night before your cruise departure, book elsewhere! At 3:07pm (10 min before my flight take-off for 5+ hours flight), they send me an email that "due to maintenance situation...don't have rooms available..." and offered a "different location in the city center" - at minimum miles away but also without name/address, so no way to check reviews. I responded that this was not acceptable. No response from the hotel. Had to book a different hotel at much higher cost upon my arrival. The kicker, that 2 weeks later I still can't get my refund. According to the booking site, the hotel refuses to authorize the refund. I travel 2-3 months every year. It's been at least 8 years since I have had so horrible experience with a booking. So, if you want to at 10 pm without cell phone connection and in a country your don't speak the local language figure out alternative options and then fight for weeks to get money back for service NOT provided (much less extra costs) - this hotel is for you!

This was a wonderful spot, the hotel is located in one of the most visit and amazing area. There is shopping, restaurants, outdoor activities, a marina, bikes for rentals, kids parks, a walk to the marina to take a boat to Taboga island and so much more. I enjoy this hotel. The view from my balcony room of the Panama cinta costera was amazing. The only thing I have to say is the hotel doesn’t have an elevator which you have to take the stair to go up to your room, and there have to be like about 25 step up. Is a pain in the behind to go up those stairs but it was worthy. Also there was no fridge, but if you asked for one they will bring you one. The staff was amazing. Overall I will stay at this property again and again. It was a dream spot.

The room and the property were much better than I thought it would be. Air conditioning worked great, and the view into the bay was spectacular. At night, the bars had loud music but I'm military and used to sleeping with a bunch of guys that snore so it didn't bother me. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.
