Have stayed at the Plaza a few

Have stayed at the Plaza a few times now and will be happy to stay there again, the only thing is that it was a bit expensive this time compared to other stays and I did look around at other hotels in the area while I was there

Only one thing that i can find

Only one thing that i can find wrong with the hotel and that was the quality of the room service food. It was pretty bad. Expensive and not good quality at all, tasted and looked like cheap frozen food. However the buffet breakfast was fantastic and of a high quality. Go figure!!!!

Everything about our stay was

Everything about our stay was wonderful except the room service breakfast was very disappointing. Apparently the buffet in the dining room is superb so we will be getting up for breakfast next time instead. The room was perfect, the view of the river sublime and our meal in the hotel Grill whilst it was very slow it was well worth the wait. Definitely stay here again no problem at all.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was very close to all the action without the constant noise of fellow revelers returning in the early hours of the morning. Comfortable beds, friendly staff - we'd happily book in again.
