I stayed at the Panama Hotel in 2017 and I saw this older lady scurrying about the place picking up trash and telling people what to do. I had no idea who she was, I assumed she might be one of the managers. Me and my nephew got their late the first night of our stay and we told the lady at the front desk that we needed to go to a supermarket to get a few things but we didnt know where to go. To our surprise she offered to give us a ride to the nearest grocery store. We didnt want to bother anyone but she insisted so we went outside and she pulled up in a late model Mercedes Benz! We were quite surprised to see the night manager driving a Mercedes. Incredibly we found out this lady was the owner of the hotel and obviously quite well off. She dropped us off at the store, waited for us and then drove us back to the hotel. Absolutely unbelievable! The next day i asked if they had a fitness room and of course they didnt have one but Jan gave me the membership key to her exclusive fitness club in downtown Seattle and I worked out their everymorning of my stay. Jan was so unpretentious and nice to us. I will never forget her and my stay at her historic and unique hotel.
She is an amazing host! We were there a few years ago and she told us everything about the hotel with such passion! I loved it. Then she told us ann no out a boy who was excited to go to Seattle, and then when it was time to go home again he said: “ but we never saw Attle??” 😁 funny!
