State Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good
"The positives- Helpful staff and a clean room. My room unexpectedly had a kitchenette with a stove and fridge and mini table. That was a pleasant surprise. The negatives- Kind of old and a bit beat. The tv was tiny -the size of my computer monitor. Parking was a pain. I had to park in an overflow parking garage off property and had to be let in by staff who had to walk over. So I always tipped them even though it wasn’t valet. It was the same price as other hotels with valet, and the garage was extremely awkward and tight for my crossover. I would’ve much rather had the staff park my vehicle."

"Very nice boutique hotel that I was able to find for a last minute stay for one person. Near the convention center and metro. The room was quite small. The windows faced the windows of an office building so curtains always needed for privacy. Gym was very small also and fine for one person at a time. Good stay for the price for one person."
