Crowne Plaza Panama Airport by IHG
Toilet seat wouldn’t stay up. Closet light would not turn off. Shower door would not stay slid shut completely. The hotel needs to sound proof the windows. Breakest Buffet was excellent though!

Waymore Hotel Spa & Casino
Construction was happening on the 7th floor, was a bit noisy. The hotel does need upgrading so I guess this is where the construction was coming in.
