zachary has indicated that this thread is about Panama

I've been to Panama for long time before, but now I want to go visit for a week.

Anyone know of a decent, cheap, hotel near the middle of the city I can stay at? preferably with wireless internet and preferably off or near Balboa, closer to the nightclub Next the better ;)

any info will help

thanks. z

Closet to Next Disco is the Plaza Paitilla Inn...

Other than that there's a bunch down in Caledonia area: Mar Paraiso etc
www.ipat.gob.pa look for link on lower left to Hoteles...

Avalon is way out of town on the Transistmica...
Country Inn & Suites - in El Dorado not close to Balboa or on Amador Causeway not close either
Costa Inn is near Mar Paraiso

Cheers,
Andrew

More about Panama

It was Vasco Nuñez de Balboa who became the first European to see the Pacific Ocean in 1513. And it was the thin stretch of land we know as Panama that he crossed to reach it. Panama's geographic location and shape have been strategic elements in its development as a nation: its narrowness prompted the U.S.
