hey everyone, 6 guys from NY coming down for a last minute springbreak (Cancun fell through) so we're trying to figure out where to stay in Panama City. None of us have ever been there, we're all juniors and seniors at UB, don't wanna party with high schoolers, just the REALLL partiers ;) any info on hotels would be appreciated, planning on the 2nd week of March... THANKS!!

I went to expedia.com to reserve my room. Just make sure your hotel is on Front Beach road, or Thomas Road. Front Beach road is where you REALLY want to be, but if you have to settle for Thomas road, you'll have fun just as well.

Good luck finding something (cheap) this late in the game.

thanks man... whats like the top 3 hotels?? where's the parties attt

Well, you're cutting it pretty close. Most of the more popular hotels will be booked, but I'd call in this order:
Boardwalk Beach Resort (the most popular hotel in PCB, most likely booked)
Holiday Inn Sunspree (another very popular hotel, might have rooms but they're pretty pricey)
Chateau Motel (they are little bit cheaper than the first two, one of the most popular hotels, and you might be able to get a room)
Sandpiper-Beacon Beach Resort (most likely has rooms and is pretty popular, but doesn't have the best location on the strip)
Summit Condos (expensive, but has a great location next to the super clubs)

Other than that, try the Beachbreak by the Sea, or maybe the Days Inn or Ramada Inn. I've heard decent things about those places. At this point, as long as you are on the strip, I'd be happy.

Exactly...if you can find anything on the strip this late in the game, you're good to go. You can't really be too picky about the hotels now.
