Plaza Hotel is in a great location on the Esplanade, but a bit removed from the busiest areas so it is quieter at night. The room was excellent except the bathroom could use an upgrade to lighting (only a couple of overhead lights so hard to see clearly in the mirror and shower). The staff were friendly and helpful. Our ocean view suite had a great view of the water.

Nice and central, clean and friendly reception. We stayed here (mum and 12yo daughter) for 3 nights and felt safe. The hotel is older but it is clean and comfortable. Would absolutely stay again.

Nice room and good location just a short walk from the main esplanade area which made it quieter and less busy. The room was very spacious and had good amenities.
