Top Panama City Hotel Reviews

Red Roof Inn Panama City

Red Roof Inn Panama City

8/10 Good
"The gentleman was very professional and nice at the front desk. The place was very clean. The location is good. The breakfast needs more protein like hard boiled eggs and preotein bars in the pastry cabinet. If there is a way to get the proetin bars without the wrappers and put in pastry cabinet, then people won't take for later. Coconut yogurt or any non dairy yogurt would be a nice option for those of us who get sick from the regulat yogurt! Overall very nice."

"When I arrived Friday afternoon around 2:15 there was no one at the front desk I waited 15 minutes for someone to come to the front desk. When I asked her why I had to wait 15 minutes, she said she had been checking rooms,no apology offered!! Another couple came in right after me and they also had to wait 15 minutes this is not acceptable .when I went to the men's room ,close to the main desk, it had no toilet paper and no paper towels, not acceptable. the room itself was nice ,it was clean, it was quiet and the bed was comfortable the continental breakfast was very good and the employees were nice and friendly"
