"While I was shocked that the building didn't have an elevator, its charm was readily evident. The rooms were modern and generous in size (except when the couch was folded out). The Plaza is in an interesting, eclectic neighborhood, easy walking distance to local points of interest, restaurants, and Metro Mart, a local grocery. We didn't eat in the cafe, but the line when we checked out Sunday morning was almost out the door! The stairs were a little difficult, but I'd stay here again."
