Best Western Plus Panama City Hotel

Best Western Plus Panama City Hotel is a three-story, 59-room hotel on Mercedes Avenue, a side street just off the 23rd Street corridor in north Panama City. The property has been renovated with a more modern look and new landscaping. Linos Park is about a mile away, the downtown marina is under four miles and the Panama City Beach sand is roughly 15 to 20 minutes by car.

A free hot breakfast buffet is served every morning, with later hours on weekends. Rooms have 45 inch TVs, microwaves, mini fridges, coffee makers and laptop-friendly work spaces. The hotel has an outdoor pool, a 24-hour fitness center, a business center and guest laundry, and the front desk is staffed around the clock.

Parking and Wi-Fi are free, and there is an EV charging station on site. Pets are not allowed, though service animals are welcome. The hotel spreads over three floors, and the grounds have been freshly landscaped as part of the renovation.

The smaller size and side-street setting make it a quieter option than the larger hotels on 23rd Street, while restaurants and shops are still within walking distance. It suits business travelers, visitors to the nearby hospitals and colleges, and couples or families who want a renovated room and breakfast included. Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport is about 40 minutes by car.
