Reviews for Plaza Resort & Spa
Review 1:The restaurant seemed to be lacking in experience as far as the staff...the room was pretty empty but the hostess attempted to seat us practically on top of another couple. We received coupons for a free gift and a complimentary glass of champagne to redeem at the spa but were told we would be given them after our massages. we never got them. we were so relaxed we forgot...but so did the staff. : (
Review 2:The front desk staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. We were only going to stay the night but we were enjoying our stay so much that we decided to stay a second night.
Review 3:All great.
Review 4:Fantastic stay! Traveling a week vacationing and this was by far our best night stay. Special thanks to Terrica Thomas for the upgrade of our room to ocean front when she found out at check in we left our last hotel in Naples Florida after paying top dollar for a room with poor conditions.We ended our vacation on such a high note with the plaza at Daytona that we can't wait to return again.What a great staff and beautiful hotel.
Review 5:I was disppointed in their customer service quality. This was our first visit at the Plaza Resort and Spa. It was to my surprise the look of your lobby was phenomenal. However we were not greated properly by the valet or by the front desk personnel . By the way it was not busy in the lobby at that time of our arrival, yet we waited some time before our initial greeting.
Review 6:Nice lobby
Review 7:We went to Daytona to see a show at The Peabody and this hotel was within walking distance and had all the perks-bar, restaurant, on the beach.....we had a good time
Review 8:They charged me in advance as per reservation. When I got in the hotel they informed that my booking was not paid. I had to proof myself and print the bank statement to show that the booking was already paid. They had a different price for the booking than my reservation. I had to print the confirmation to proof again. The lady from the Front Desk was very nice and tried to help. The manager/supervisor was very rude. I would not stay at this hotel again. There are better hotels around for the same price. Besides the ladies from the Front Desk the hotel has a horrible customer service. The parking is very very dirty not a parking in lot for a 4 starts hotel.
Review 9:The hotel was in a nice location. The ladies from the front desk was very helpful as I can not say the same thing about the managers.
Review 10:The air conditioning wasn't working properly,the linen always felt moist. With heart issues,was really hard to breathe. Room temperature made for an uncomfortable stay
Review 11:Close to beach & more centralized
Review 12:The self-parking is inadequate for the size of the hotel. The surrounding area of the hotel is a little sketchy and not as safe looking as a mile or so south.
Review 13:The staff was very courteous, professional, quick to respond. The room was very clean and mostly comfortable. The pool area and beach were nice.
Review 14:City view 5th floor was like sitting on the street!!! Extremely loud road noise !!! Blinds don't close and spotlights on building was like daytime all nite
Review 15:Location that's it my 3rd stay in as many months I'll be looking elsewhere
Review 16:The view from the ocean is great, the resort needs more update,but I know is hard to have everything new that close to the ocean, I would stay there again
Review 17:The staff was helpful and pleasant.We had a great stay.We enjoyed the beach being accessible. We were able to walk to the board walk and enjoy some great food.
Review 18:1)PILLOWS!!!!! Please get better pillows. 3) 4pm check-in is very late, suggestion 1pm. 2)We rented the room for the car show and staff gave people a hard time about hanging out outside the front of the hotel.
Review 19:The staff was very courteous. The facility was clean.
Review 20:One day I came and met my room door not fully closed from housekeeping. They did give me 2 free breakfast vouchers for the inconvenience which was greatly appreciated.
Review 21:The valet parking that was included in the package was very convenient.
Review 22:I purchased this stay for my parents anniversary. The staff was fantastic and took strawberry's and campaign to their room complements of the hotel. My parents were elated!!! Thank you for making their stay that much better.
Review 23:The cable was just above basic cable. They don't have amc but doeshave golf channel?We did find a roach on the first night, pigeon dropping on the balcony, and our complaint about a nearby room having marijuana smoke wasn't handled. The restaurant is expensive and we never ate there because of it.
Review 24:Location was great, the entire facility was clean, great value
Review 25:For some weird reason they said my MasterCard was not working and refused to try until it did. I have been travelling Florida for 2 weeks and never had issues so the problem was on their end! The charge for parking is just silly since nowadays most others give free parking.
Review 26:Good location near the bars and beach. Boardwalk is 10 min walk away. Great kitchenette!
Review 27:I didn't know the college had a homecoming gathering that night, when booking we should be warned of that, the valet was very poor and unorganized they had the driveway blocked with unattended cars, and we had to park the car to the road and walk to the hotel.
Review 28:It was nice and clean the view of the beach was nice, the staff was friendly.
Review 29:Extremely loud, no late night bar open or restaurant open early until 7pm. Only 2 elevators working and it was homecoming weekend so alot of people staying. No enough bellmans,cart.
Review 30:The room was nice
Review 31:The beach and atmosphere was very great and the staff and service was on point. The front and manger was awesome. I will be stay with you'll in the future. Thank a lot for everything.
Review 32:I planned a trip to the beach to get a beach front view didn't get it had another choice and place chose this worst mistake of my life
Review 33:Location
Review 34:The parking garage filled quickly and the corridor from the garage was horrible. We seriously thought about turning around and leaving. We continued on and much to our delight, the lobby was wonderful. The hallway to our room seemed very dated and not kept up but the room itself was a good value.
Review 35:Loved the pool area and the beach view from our room. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The restaurant staff even endulged us and told us ghost stories of the hotel.
Review 36:no bad experiences!
Review 37:was treated like a queen! great food! One thing....I felt a hand lightly on my shoulder, still feeling it, not scary but comforting feeling, I turned around no one there. Happened when I was checking in. Then I started checking around on the web found out people think it's haunted! toocool! have one photo of a see through teen boy sitting at the table in our room. definitely will come back! and if you beleive in ghost check it out!
Review 38:I thought there was a hot tub by the pool- found out you could only use the hot tub in the spa with a treatment- was bummed by that!
Review 39:Staff all very friendly- gave us an awesome upgraded room once the bikers checked out! Had a great time - after being out all smday we did Room Service each night!
Review 40:Thought the price might of been a little high...but we don't travel to much, so not sure..for the price I noticed some updates...and no free breakfast, like a lot of places...but over all great relaxing stay
Review 41:The view, the staff was some of the friendly and helpful, great staff
Review 42:When we got there to check in they told us we had to pay more than what booking.com charged us because it was incorrectly listed on the website.
Review 43:They gave us a free breakfast
Review 44:Laundry dispenser not working or stocked. For the price, you could have some complimentary breakfast/ coffee. Room coffee was terrible.
Review 45:The View from the balcony. Bed was very comfortable. Motorcycle parking.
Review 46:Everything was great from the front desk staff to the wonderful ladies in the Spa (Alesa, Inna, Stephanie, and Lauren) get two thumbs up for their hard work and dedication to making my stay remarkable!!!! The room was very nice and well kept, and even though it rained during my stay, the view from my balcony was still breath taking and most enjoyable! I ordered room service, and it was one of the best hotel meals I have ever had. I will ABSOLUTELY be back.
Review 47:I'm a very sizable guy so to me the bathroom was kind of small
Review 48:Everything was great. From the staff to the bed. Front desk was super nice. Resturants on site were good.
Review 49:Met the chef from the restaurant and he gave us a personal tour and the history of the building itself. It was extremely nice of him. All of the staff was very pleasant.
Review 50:Booking.com did not give me the actual total of the room, even though it claimed it did. So when I got there I had to pay an additional $37. Very unhappy about that so probably won't be using this service again.
Review 51:Hotel was fine. But Booking.com does not provide actual total of the room even though it says it does when you reserve.
Review 52:Waiting for elevators. AC blows very cold so when it's on it's too cold and when it's off it gets too warm, especially noticed at night. I didn't sleep well because of this. The balcony was great but dirty because of pigeon droppings.
Review 53:Location was great we walked to dinner and entertainment every evening and didn't have to risk losing our parking spot.
Review 54:check in service was very slow, not organized, Wifi password not available in the room, have to check the registration desk, beds very uncomfortable, not a well kept hotel.
Review 55:The room we had for ocean view was full of pigeons and they pooped all over the balcony. Also the bed was old and had springs in the bed. We called and complained
Review 56:Because of the complaint they upgraded us to a suite, but poor ocean view.
Review 57:Pool area needs a little updating, chairs worn and dirty. Walkway to beach overgrown and dirty.
Review 58:Staff very friendly and helpful. Clean and comfortable rooms. Fruit infused waters are amazing, complimentary drinks and bottled water upon arrival.
Review 59:I like how classy the place is. Keep it up
Review 60:The staff were helpful and kind. We had a few hick-ups with the booking agency but the staff took care of us
Review 61:cleanliness. I felt our room could be more detail cleaning and back balcony. the hallway trim and door casing need some painting. I have to say the front end staff took care of all our needs. that was very professional
Review 62:we like the front end staff and location. comfortable beddings
Review 63:The wait time in line to check in was excessive and then had to wait over 20 min. in the hall to catch an elevator that we could fit into on Sunday when we were trying to leave which was not a good end to our stay. The restaurant was over priced, We could not get crab cakes because they did not receive the correct meat to make them and did not want to put out an inferior product which was totally fine but we ordered the $34.00 Rib eye both Medium and they came out well done they were sent back and came back out the second time the same we were only charged for one but still very disappointed! The bell and valet service was superb!
Review 64:Great location.
Review 65:Lack of complimentry breakfast
Review 66:The hotel was beutiful and for the orice we got it was a huge luxurious resort! The location was great! Close to the beacha nd boarswalk and daytona lagoon and tons of restaurants
Review 67:We ordered room service and after waiting over an hour we called to see why it was taking so long. They forgot to process the order. Mistakes happen but all the restaurant manager had to say was "sorry". Sorry doesn't cut it if you want to keep my business. No offer was made to compensate for their mistake. I am in the restaurant business and regardless of what mistake is made you can usually keep your customer's business if you offer to comp just part or all of the bill. I can get a "sorry" from my teenagers that was about a heartfelt as it was from the manager. The parking was a problem as it was limited. We had a handicapped parking decal and found a space but after leaving the hotel we were never able to find another one. The handicapped spots were poorly marked and there were people parking in these spots that were not handicapped.
Review 68:The location was great, spa services were excellent and the pool was large with no problem finding lounge chairs
Review 69:We arrived and their was a line to check in so the Manager got a Laptop and began helping check us in. He did so without anyone complaining. He just saw the need. We enjoyed that the wifi was up to speed and that the room was very clean. I was talking with the Manager later and he gave me a tour and the history of the Hotel. The staff were all courteous and spoke each time they passed you in the halls.
Review 70:Not really a bad experience but the a/c was really loud, but it wasso many positive things until it just didn't matter that much.
Review 71:Every thing, we thought it was a super place to stay, very nice insideand out. We can't wait until next year.
Review 72:Wifi kept logging out every time you you leave building so that you have to keep laughing back in.
Review 73:The old southern elegance in the decor and design of the hotel.
Review 74:Public bathrooms part of wall missing water leakage and molding rotting wood. Problems with elevators each day of stay 1 of 3 always out of service.Hotel on the edge of run down area of beach strip empty store fronts across the street and homeless people.
Review 75:Had to wait in line to check in for 45 minutes as there were only two staff on duty and one was dealing with a problem. It then took 15 minutes to get an elevator to the room as the elevators were small, over crowded and incredibly slow. I found it very expensive and not good value for money.
Review 76:The beach front location is lovely and the pool area is large and spacious.
Review 77:There was no snack vending machine, and the store that had snacks wasn't open very much.
Review 78:This hotel was very clean! I was worried about not having a comfortable bed, but the bed was perfect.
Review 79:Our room had a major moth problem. We killed a total of 11 moths (large ones) in our room at night, both nights we stayed, which was incredibly annoying. They came out one at a time and my husband would jump on a chair to kill it. Then another one would pop out. The kids were asleep so there was no point in telling the front desk at the time. The elevator sucks. Very slow, old, and small. We stayed on the 8th floor and my husband carried all of the luggage by hand using the stairs because the elevator wouldn't come. He was pretty upset to say the least. The carpet had major stains and so did the throw pillows. Yuck. There happened to be a group of teenagers on a chaperoned trip that was left to venture off by themselves around the hotel without supervision. They were pretty bad, throwing things off of the balcony in the lobby, staying up late and being incredibly loud. This was by no fault of the hotel, but it did dampen our impression. The walls were paper thin and we could hear people in their rooms when walking through the hall. There was a lot of people in the room adjacent to us that had a "loud gathering" on their balcony. We could hear all of the conversations and the loud cackling of the guests until 1:30 am when I had to call the front desk to ask them nicely to move the party into their room and not on the balcony. The parking garage is also very small so you may not find parking if it is a weekend. We had to circle around a few times until we found a car leaving.
Review 80:For the most part, this place was okay. The location was great and it had beachfront access which was nice. It had a fridge, microwave, and countertop which was helpful. It was sort of clean for an old property and you could tell they tried. We also had a great view of the beach from our balcony. It had a nice, large, flat screen TV with satellite cable.
Review 81:We were told by the check-in host that our room credit could be used for the lounge or breakfast. Confirmed by kitchen host when we ordered breakfast. Upon checkout, the front desk places the full amt on our bill, and asked if we wanted to use it at the lounge (used for alcohol only) before leaving.
Review 82:The location was great in relation to being able to walk to other attractions/shops along the beach.
Review 83:Great location, beach, pool and staff. Robin, the bartender, lobby level overlooking the pool was spectacular! We mentioned it was our 20th wedding anniversary and before we knew it, she delivered a scrumptious dessert and wished us a happy anniversary. A manager came outside to ensure we had everything we need and congratulated us as well. The room was great and the shower had excellent water pressure! Loved the free valet parking too! They show a free outdoor, family-friendly movie and we saw fireworks on the pier from the property.
Review 84:The entire hotel smelled like an old wet dirty dishcloth. The rooms are badly in need of an upgrade, and it honestly wasn't worth the price.
Review 85:Great location, within walking distance of shops and entertainment. The breakfast omelet was good, and the staff were friendly and helpful.
Review 86:The accommodating demeanor of all of the staff. I booked a room, at the desk, on July 4th weekend. Not only did the front desk staff, (can't remember his name but it began with a "T") assist me with getting a room at such a crunch time but he assisted me in getting it at a great price as well. I literally left one hotel because it was not up to par and walked into the Plaza Resort and Spa and got an absolutely spectacular room with a great view and at a great price. My family and I received top rated customer service from every staff member from the restaurant staff, pool deck staff, front desk staff, valet staff, etc... Our plan was to check out the next day (because we could only get a room for one night due to the holiday weekend and a big race in town) and relax on the beach during the day so that we could see the fireworks show that evening. However, the customer service did not stop there! The valet guys made the end of our stay even sweeter by informing us that we didn't have to move our vehicle because we were checking out. The front desk confirmed this and gave us new arm bands and we were able to enjoy the facilities of the resort (pool, bar, movie on big projector in the lobby, restaurant, etc...) for the remainder of the day. The view of the fireworks from the upstairs patio of the Veranda Lounge was simply breathtaking. I enjoyed my stay and will definitely be back again!
Review 87:Be very careful of the "resort" service charge. The manager described this charge of $20 per night, which is not mentioned on booking.com, covers the free Wi-Fi , complimentary water, complimentary bar tab of $12, the use of the swimming pool, gym and the car park ( which booking.com describes as $8.50). People need to be aware of this charge. Don't let this put you off a very good, would be nice to be aware of it at least.
Review 88:Location you simply can't beach, its right on the beach and can walk directly from the swimming pool. Rooms are very spacious, clean and well equipped. Most staff are very friendly and helpful.
Review 89:1. Kids complained that wi-fi was slow. 2. Elevators can also take a while to get to you. 3. Not enough parking.
Review 90:Loved the location, room was clean and nice, staff was super friendly. Good place to stay for a decent price.
Review 91:I go on vacation to spend time with my friends and family and seeing how great the hotel was I don't really have any complaints.
Review 92:This place was amazing. The resort was beautiful and had a fantastic view of the ocean. It's location was great in correspondence to all the things we did. The employees were extremely nice and accommodating. Can't wait to go back.
Review 93:Valet walked off job left our luggage in lobby for over an hour & bartender at beach bar fixed horrible drinks. Prices to high for drinks
Review 94:The gulf front room
Review 95:Hotel is a faded 4 star facility.Requires a total makeover. Bathroom was tiny and needs to be modernised. General facilities poor and lobby area inadequate . Pool area very basic and sunbeds in very poor condition. Overall very dissapointed
Review 96:Location is good and parking convenient.
Review 97:Bed was uncomfortable. And there was no free jacuzzi for PPP that stayed there. And THE BATHROOM SMELLED LIKE MOLD ! Down by the outside pools. And WHY NO indoor pool ?
Review 98:That ppl were helpful. And free towels for pool and free sunscreen.
Review 99:Beds were small and uncomfortable. House keeping was lacking. I had to call down several times for stuff like fresh towels, coffee and creamers. I never saw a vacuum cleaner all week.
Review 100:The soap smelled nice.
Review 101:It seemed like they were not prepared or stocked for a mothers day or weekend occupancy. The staff seemed kind of at odds. Lounge chairs are old and scratchy
Review 102:It is on the beach
Review 103:Room not completely cleaned. No coffee left for next day. Furniture around pool old and broken.
Review 104:Closeness to what we wanted to do. View from beachfront room fantastic.
Review 105:The entire staff of the Plaza made us feel welcome from the moment wepulled up to the front door, We got settled and then made our way to thepool bar, for a drink, thinking we would go out for dinner. But we hadsuch a good time with the bartendes (Lil Bit & her associate?) thatwe stayed. Executive Chef Paul Lezwich took the time to stop by ourtable & actual sit to chat with us. The Luau was a blast despite therain, from the excellent food to the entertainment. On Sturday, weavailed ourselves of a "coule massage package in spa. Many thanksto Natalya, Alex, Claudine & Inna. I have never seen the look oftotal relaxation on my husbands face, that I saw that day. We so ejoyedthe property & all its comforts so much, that we didn't evenventure off property until late afternoon on Saturday Having said allthat, I see a bit normal wear & tear in our bathroom but not enoughto detract from our most awesome weekend of relaxation. Our goal was tojust "get away" and this weekend package made it one of ourmost memorable ever. Props to Property Manager, Lex Hollender, havingbeen in the hospitality industry for many, many years, I can honestlysay, you have a wonderful property & phenomenal staff from Valet toHousekeeping! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Review 106:The only downside was the outside noise was a lot louder than expected. But hey, when you are in Daytona you aren't spending much time in your room anyway.
Review 107:We had a wonderful week at the Plaza!! Very nice and very clean. Our ocean view room was clean and the housekeeping staff did a great job.. We ordered room service and it came quickly and the food was still hot when it got to the room. The pool area was awesome and the staff that work that area are very sweet and took great care of us.
Review 108:The staff was so friendly and helpful. My husband booked this trip for me and our 3 boys while he was traveling for work. It was an awesome treat and we will be coming back in a come months!
Review 109:Need clarity of what floors are what.. The elevator was very confusing. Did not know what floor to get off at times.
Review 110:Pool and easy access to the beach.
Review 111:The Luau they have on Friday nights was not worth $25 per person. I had to keep logging in to the free WiFi.
Review 112:Everything was wonderful and we will be back
Review 113:Arrived right at check-in time. Normal parking garage was already full. Had to exit back into street and go to overflow parking. From there you enter back into building and only access was to walk through a wedding party, chose instead to go through pool area to enter back into lobby. Should have better directions when weddings or occasions like this are going on.
Review 114:Front desk clerk did not let me know how much they were putting a hold on my card for incidentals. If the hold is $350, you should tell the customer that before swipping the card. At check out, the front desk clerk was not very accomadating when I was being overcharged because of the invoice not reflecting my booking.com pricing.
Review 115:Website stated they had ping pong...but did not
Review 116:Amenities were awesome...poolside...bar..restaurant...ocean access and the cleanliness. .food was great...price was good...and staff was awesome
Review 117:Checking in took waaay too long. We waited at least 45 minutes. There were three people behind the counter, but one person was on the phone and looking frazzled the whole time. We had no problem, but everyone else seemed to. The same thing happened checking out. Once we got to the counter, the staff was friendly. Other than the amount of time to check in/out, this hotel is perfect.
Review 118:This hotel is right on the beach with very easy access. Loved that we were able to self park and come and go so easily. Ocean front room was really ocean front with no obstruction.
Review 119:Where do I start. My wife and I arrived Friday evening to find out that our reservation were cancels do to running a credit card with out knowing . I put that card on file just to hold the room I was going to pay cash when we arrived. So being that our reservation got canceled they put us in a room that faced the pool and the beach but come on I went to the east coast to watch the sun rise if I didn't want to see that I could of stayed any were in Tampa were I love not drive 21/2 hours to be disappointed
Review 120:The bar tenders were for the food was good
Review 121:Long wait at the front desk. The hotel was pretty busy during my stay; I spent fair amount of time at the front desk to check in, extend my stay, change rooms, etc.
Review 122:Friendly atmosphere; great location; I am definitely coming back with my kids.
Review 123:We paid for 2 ocean views with balcony and received bottom floor corner rooms looking at the pool bar.They were only able to move one of us to an upper floor. This was a disappointment after you pay all that money for the view of the ocean.
Review 124:Nice area of beach with no cars on it.
Review 125:Would be nice to have had complimentary breakfest, included in the price we paid for the room.,
Review 126:friendliness of the staff, cleanliness and general fascilities and view from our ocean front room
Review 127:Rooms were dated, some staff were great, others were awful. The food was ok- just ok. Left an item, called multiple times and left my name and number, finally spoke to Alicia in housekeeping, still no return call.
Review 128:Beautiful view from our room - good oceanfront location.
Review 129:Checking out.Clerk didn't know procedure for booking.com and overcharging. Bad attitude NIGHT didn't want to give us free cot for child as advertised.
Review 130:Beach access, and pool.
Review 131:Poor location of room noise all night have gone to many bikeweek events and never experienced this type of issue in the past even the room service remarked on it . no sleep and for that money just was not right
Review 132:Our last visit was a ocean view room l would recommend that way over priced
Review 133:Very dark and dull in public areas (bar, restaurant, lobby) furniture shabby Had to wait far too long after ordering food to it being brought to us
Review 134:Perfect location on the beach Parking available, valet parking excellent and no extra charge
