Perfect Plaza Stay

From the moment we stepped on this property until the moment we left, we were treated like kings and queens. The front desk was exceptional. I believe it was Amy who went way above and beyond every single time we asked. I would stay here again in a heartbeat it’s a beautiful place and the service is beyond five stars.

Pros: -Location: Across Ward Parkway from the center of the Plaza (Capital Grille). -Staff: Very friendly and quite accommodating. This is one of the best hotel staffs I’ve encountered! Everyone, and I mean, everyone, greeted you when they crossed your path. From the housekeeping staff, to doormen, to front desk people, to the maintenance man, and even the high school junior, who greeted me at the restaurant door and made conversation, as I waited on a to-go order. And if you needed something . . . anything—it was at your room in a jiffy. -You can self-park for $5 less than valet, per day, and the lot is right behind the hotel. It’s worth it to self park. -The building is old, but that is part of its charm. Elevators are small, but there are four of them, and the rooms themselves are well-kept and updated. -Room-darkening curtains make it extra dark at night—a plus for a good night’s sleep. Did I mention the staff? Extraordinary! Cons: One regret—in trying to save a buck, we got the smallest of the rooms, which is still more spacious than your average hotel room (it’s a small studio suite). The bathroom area was tight, though, and that was the main drawback. It’s a pretty penny to stay in this place, period, but if we could do it over again, we’d book the larger room.
