Historic Plaza Hotel

We stayed one night at the Plaza on our way to Mexico. The owners of the building should be more than proud. The 1880's hotel has been refurbished, and was a joy to stay in. We had a second floor, pet friendly, King bed room with a non-plaza view. Everything was great. Our room was near the staircase, and also the elevator, but it was oh so quiet. We took advantage of the $5 Happy Hour at the Saloon in the hotel. The selection of craft beers wasn't huge, but every style was well-represented. The hotel offered complimentary coffee from 5 - 7 am. A limited time, sure, but the coffee and breakfast sweets counter opened at 7, so it wouldn't be right to handout free coffee. The spacious room with incredible high ceilings was very comfortable - a small sofa and a dorm-sized fridge. The pet fee was only 10$ per dog, a nice change from some hotels that charge 25-35 per pet. Since you are in the middle of town, road noise from I-25 is not an issue. Be aware that if you are checking out on a school morning between 7:30 and 8 there is an elementary school nearby with quite a bit of drop off traffic as you are trying to get to the Interstate.

Old hotel with lots of history and things to explore. Our room was comfortable and large. The beds were great. We got to look out at the plaza from our room. It's fun to walk around the plaza and go to the antique stores. The restaurant and bar are great. Why stay at a boring chain hotel when you can stay here!?!

The restaurant owner needs to learn the difference between a heat stroke, dehydration and being intoxicated. She never even tried to talk to me. . I was having a heat stroke and she made my friend take me out of the bar and said get her out of hear take her to the park. She thought I was drunk. She needs to know the difference! My friends asked for a wet towel to cool me off and let me sit down. She would not have any of it. I needed an ambulance. Her name was Sara Jo Mattews. I was told he is the owner of the Bar down stairs in the Plaza.

We stay here often. Lovingly renovated. The sports bar downstairs is always good fun, and the restaurant serves the best food, even at Thanksgiving. Last time I was stayed there was even a fancy coffee and pastry counter! Is only minutes from the highway and the train. Get off of either one and stay the night. You'll be glad you did.

Staff was so helpful and kind. They offered solid dinner recommendations for while the in house cafe was closed. Rooms were clean and stocked with supplies. The hotel itself is beautiful and rich with history, along with the plaza park and surrounding buildings.

Lovely historic hotel. Our room was in the annex next door (still historic) and was quite large. I think the mattress was a Tempur-pedic - very comfortable. Limited parking behind the hotel or on the Plaza can be an issue if you have a lot of luggage (like 2 sisters do). We found the residential areas with historic homes but were surprised that they were not kept up. Not much happening here. The town could use some TLC and investment to attract tourism.
