We stayed for several days and found the location to be very nice. Just a short walk to Cannery Row. The hotel is older, the rooms could use some updating, but they were clean and a nice size. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful. The sp

If you love pretense, high prices, low service, great views, modest size rooms, you may have found the right place. How this place got 5 stars amazes me. 3 maybe , compared to a real 5 star hotel say in NY or Chicago or even LA

My husband and I stayed at the Plaza for our 15th wedding anniversary and had a wonderful time. The hotel was exactly the experience we were looking for. Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful. I felt like a queen and the accommodations were luxurious. We had planned to eat out but decided to try the hotel restaurant instead. The service and food were fabulous. I am not really a fan of American cuisine but my dinner was fantastic. We ate at a local restaurant on the second night and it did not even compare. We reserved an ocean view room but next time we will pay the extra charge for a room with an ocean view balcony. I usually stay somewhere that offers frequent flyer miles but I will go back to the Plaza.

Amazing location.No a/c!“It's a lovely place in a great location, but if you are on the inland side, as we were, the lack of a/c is a big issue. We were routinely uncomfortably warm, including when going to bed at 10 p.m. When asked for...
