Albrook Inn

Panama City


Set amid lush greenery and removed from city chaos, this lodging near Albrook airport aspires to country inn but feels a bit lackluster and impersonal. Motel-style rooms have modern decor and flat-screen TVs but could be roomier. A small kidney-shaped pool spruces up the garden. Ideal for an early-morning domestic flight.
