The Plaza Hotel & Suites Winona draws families with its kid-friendly pool area and convenient attached restaurant, while many guests appreciate clean, spacious, generally quiet rooms in a location close to dining, shopping, and main roads.

Continental breakfast is frequently described as limited or microwave-based, with fewer hot options than expected. Room comfort varies, with several reports of firm mattresses, musty or humid rooms, and aging fixtures. Service experiences range from accommodating and responsive to inattentive or brusque, with occasional key card and housekeeping sign-up frustrations. Expect a convenient, family-oriented stay with some tradeoffs.

I thought that the property was clean, and pretty well maintained. I don't typically write anything as excellent because then it would have to be perfect, so giving four stars is very good in my opinion. I appreciated the many towels and places to sit in the pool area, but I was not fond of always having to find a front desk person to come and turn the lights on every time we went into the pool area. Plus, the sauna switch made a weird noise when we turned it on so we turned it back off and didn't use the sauna. The room was nice but I did not feel it was worth the amount we paid for it. It was a standard two-bed room.

Overall stay went well. Restaurant service once again very slow at the Grille. Even family said you were right - it’s slow like you predicted. 4th floor ice machine broken. Room was very nice and service to grant our upgrade to a family suite for more room for kiddos was well received and accommodated. Good and responsive service. When visiting family in Winona - you are the go to place. Thanks.

When I went to turn on the floor lamp there were tortilla chip crumbs and other crumbs behind the lounge chair in the corner. I have more complaints but I'll stop at this. All I know is that I will NEVER stay there again when I come in town to visit family. And you guys advertise that you're sooo clean, NOT....

Very nice hotel and bar/restaurant. Staff was pleasant. We weren’t aware that our room wouldn’t be cleaned after first day unless we asked, so it never got freshened up/ clean towels. Apparently if you stay more than one day you have to sign up for cleaning, but we weren’t aware. No one explained this to us and no notes in room. I understand wanting to preserve on towel washing, but it is nice to come back to a clean room; especially bathroom. It was otherwise a nice stay, quiet, and offered lots of amenities. Would definitely come again.

Box elder bugs everywhere. We killed at least 8 in our room before sleeping & then found even more in the morning. The staff member working the continental breakfast was incredibly rude for no reason. I had seen her keys and a card on the counter and had announced that someone had forgotten their keys (thinking it was a mom) and she responded "they're mine, not yours" and I was just amazed... It was so unnecessary, since I only mentioned it because there were so many people down there. She continued to throw herself around without excusing herself and just be rude to other people looking navigate this tiny room with no space to really prepare food. Staff like that need to quit or work in a different area. It was just over the top and not needed that early in the day. Overall it was fine, the room was clean other than the bugs. You'll have that this time of year though. Staff needs to either have a coffee break or take a deep breath before dealing with customers. Yikes.

This is a high end property, but as with any older facility, some things can do with an update. Our spacious, king suite could use a new couch, and the bathroom needs a new toilet and some attention to remove darkened caulk. Bed is excellent, and the 3 rooms (bedroom, livingroom with fireplace, bathroom) were clean. With the bedroom the farthest from the door and actually having glass doors, if you want to close them, we could not hear any sounds from the hallway- always a plus!

The location of the hotel with the connected restaurant and bar which were very good, is the highlight of the hotel. The room I was given, at 3pm in the afternoon, was never cleaned. I went down to the desk and was given another room which was fine. It was considered an upgrade, but really not needed. The desk person never said sorry for the bother, just punched up the new room. There are not many hotels in the area, but I would probably go with the Holiday Inn next time.

They weren’t helpful or understanding of my frustration when the issue came to light also they didn’t give us room service after I had called the desk and asked a clerk

The room itself was fine - a good size, quiet, and seemed fairly clean except for a little spot in the corner of the bathroom floor (there was a little bit of some type of red substance there). Breakfast was good and pool area was decent. The biggest issue that my family and I had was with customer service. When checking in, we tried to ask about what fun things there were to do in town. The first person checking us in literally said “Well, there is really nothing to do here in Winona”. She then called over a colleague to see if she had any ideas, and this second employee told us (with a rather crabby tone) to just look at a pamphlet at the edge of the counter and that she couldn’t help more because she said she was busy doing her HAIR! I have a sister who is going into the hospitality industry who was laughing about the fact this is exactly what NOT to do when you are supposed to be working the front desk. It just did not set a very good tone for the stay. We had a few other interactions like this with the second employee over the entirety of our stay, which was very off-putting.

Older woman at front desk didn't even acknowledge me when I checked in so a younger gal very nice helped me out. The older one ignored me and just kept speaking with the younger employee so the younger employee stepped in to check me in. She was lovely. The older employee seemed like a manager possibly should at least when she is at the front of the desk when you walk in at least greet you if in fact she is not going to assist in your check in.

The woman that checked us in was very rushed, and I’m not sure why. There wasn’t anyone else looking to check-in when we were there. She then said, “are you here for the graduation?” I said, “no,” and she said, “well I have to put something down. Why are you here?” So weird. She didn’t say anything to us about breakfast or WiFi just “checkout is at 11.” I’ve stayed here before, so I know the drill, but this left a sour taste in my mouth. Around 1am, I noticed a dripping sound coming from outside of my window, and it was a constant drip for hours. Talk about a terrible night sleep!! Lastly, I was charged a different amount than what I was quoted, so now I’ll have to deal with that this morning. Not a good stay.
