Don’t stay here
The linens were clean, however upon arrival there was no running water. There was a large crack in the room under the outside door, I had to stuff a blanket there so animals would not come in. The floors were dirty along with the showers and toilets. The social environment was poor.

We (3 Canadians) took the bus from Panama City to San Jose, Costa Rica (Tica Bus)...arrived closer to mid-night; this location is 5 mts walk from Tica Bus Terminal; Check-in was a breeze; very friendly staff; breakfast was included in our package and we enjoyed it both days; there is a bar (to enjoy beer), though it gets a bit noisy (if you want to sleep before 11)...the Hotel has a lot of character and history; I will definitely like to come back to stay here!

Las habitaciones están en buenas condiciones. pero en el cuarto que me tocó, no llegaba la señal de internet, se escuchaba el ruido del bar muy fuerte, en la llave del lavabo casi no salia agua y la coladera de la regadera estaba tapada por lo que tardaba mucho en irse el agua.

Our second stay at Casa Colon
We stayed in the best room they had, #103, which had a private bath, a double bed and bunk beds. We used the bunks for our luggage. Maid came every day and made the bed and swept the floor. Breakfast was free and good--try the "typical". Front desk had some communication problems but everything was worked out. There was a change in ownership on August 1, so it will be interesting to see if this place goes "up" or "down".
