Great stay! The staff was helpful with the hotel and area.
Pros:

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The girl at registration was particularly helpful and kind.

Cons:

No complains about the property.
The only issue has that I ordered an Old Fashion drink that was only half full and way too strong. I did ask the bar tender about it and was give some water to add to eat and paper cup to take to my room. It still was not good. I threw it down the sink. Since then, I’ve learned from a friend that other states do not make the drink the way the Wisconsin does. It is a supper club special drink here.

Cons:

We didn't have breakfast but we had dinner and it was not all that good. My burger patting was burn and the waitress was not that helpful and I think that she didn't deserve a tip.

Great place to stay.
Pros:

Stayed two nights while visiting a family member in the hospital. On our visits we have primarily stayed at this location. Occasionally it is not available and we have stayed at other hotels. This hotel is by far the best. Comfortable beds, professional staff, clean rooms. I highly recommend this Hilton property. Also the chef did extra duty,ask for Joe. The best most helpful front desk person ever - Kimberly.

It was OK but not great.
Pros:

The staff was very very nice, and very polite.

Cons:

The whole hotel is cleaned with a very strong smelling cleaner, probably Fabulosa, which was just so strong my eyes almost watered, and I was also dissapointed in the comfort of the bed. it was very hard, not easy to sleep on.

Without water in Panama
Pros:

Life saver! Our water was out in our place for a couple of days so we had to find a place to stay and this was it. The staff was extremely helpful and spoke English which helped out tremendously. Restaurant on site so we didn’t have to go anywhere for food or drinks. By the way they gave us drink complimentary drink vouchers during our stay. Big plus.
