Washington
Hotel |
The
city of Colon has a number of very good hotels at budget
prices. If you are a backpacker or a big spender, you
will find any number of hotels that would cover your needs.
Among
the the most popular are The legendary Washington Hotel.
This hotel still preserve it style and glory of the days
of the construction of The Panama Canal. During the Panama
Canal construction it had some of the most distinguished
guess including President Theodore Roosevelt.
For
as little as $44.00 you could stay in part of Panama's
history: The New Washington Hotel.With a large pool overlooking
Limon Bay; a bar and outdoor grill, and a bar within the
pool. This is one of my favorite..
If
your trip to the city of Colon is for business and/or
pleasure, and your disire is to be close to the Port of
Cristobal and The Colon Free Zone; I recommend Hotel
Andros.The newly renovated Hotel Andros has 60 rooms with
hot water, air conditioned, and cable television; some
with jacuzzi, at as little as $35.00. At the moment we
wrote this article, they were restoring the bar on the
terrace, which overlooks limon bay. It also, has a conference
room and one of their best features: HOTSPOT Wi-Fi wireless
internet service is available throughout the hotel. With
this super-efficient system you can connect with the world
in no time.
