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.
