Bottom Line
Microtel Inn & Suites Panama City is a 63-room budget hotel located 11 miles from the white sandy shores of Panama City Beach. Spacious rooms are outfitted with Microtel’s trademark furnishings, such as wall-length mirrors behind the beds, wall-mounted lighting, and window seats. Suites also have an additional lounge area with sleeper sofa, kitchenette, mini-fridge, and work desk. While these basic amenities sound sufficient and the sunny outdoor pool is appealing, there have been some complaints about cleanliness issues. There are other inexpensive hotels in Panama City that might be better picks, such as Quality Inn & Suites or Red Roof Inn.
