The hotel itself was beautiful, and the location was great, but they did not have a fitted sheet on the bed so when I laid down in bed, I noticed I was lying in a urine stain from a previous guest. In my mind, this is very unsanitary and it left me feeling very gross.

I don’t mind for small things like scratches or small specks of dirt on the wall. So I didn’t rate it as badly as other people. The lady who checked us in was kind of impatient but other than that the stay was fine. It was definitely beautiful and the walk to all the stores and restaurants was the best part. It was so convenient. The water pressure on the shower was amazing and we always got two bottles of water after they cleaned the room.

Great Hotel but...

Great Hotel, but they charge your card $100 and days later only refund $60. They claim $30 for self parking and $10 user fee (whatever that is). Pretty cheezy!

So enjoyed the Plaza views and balcony. The hotel only had one elevator working, out of three which made for long waits. Overall we had a very nice stay.
