What guests think

Reviews of Plaza Inn describe highly variable stays, with multiple reports of cleanliness and maintenance problems and recurring complaints about strict deposit policies that can be cash only and lead to disputes over refunds.

Common issues include stained linens, occasional cockroaches, worn fixtures, uncomfortable beds, slow-to-heat water, and small rooms with limited storage or missing items like a bathroom mirror. Positives mentioned by some guests are friendly staff, early check-in, a few very clean rooms with updated showers, budget pricing, and a location handy for Dodger Stadium and nearby spots. A practical option if you mainly need a place to sleep and plan to spend time out.

The place is not well lit in parking area. The neighborhood is shaddy. No security around place. The owner/manager was VERY unfriendly. I thoight i booked a pet friendly place and when we parked to unload our stuff from car after a 9 hour drive the owner yelled at us going up stairs because we were helping my disabled dog up stairs to say no animals. I was willing to stay in car with my dog so mu son can stay in room booked and he said NO YOU GET REFUND. This was at 1030 pm.allowed.i said i will stay in car with dog then so my son with a briloken

The stay was okay for the price you pay for. No insects, however, the room didn't seem as clean, there was an old modelo bottle in the bathroom. The floor was kind of sticky and some of the shower curtain looked like it hadn't been changed in a while. The staff were nice and parking is available. Also, it was not clearly stated the $100 needed to be in cash.

You can definitely tell that this place needs a deep clean. Walls are dirty, drawers on the night stand weren’t cleaned, old pistachios shells in the drawer. Headboard was dirty. Boards have dirty buildup.

There were cockroaches and the travel sized bottle of body wash provided was already half used. The a/c didn’t work well. The bathtub and shower were in poor maintenance. The condition of the bed inspired sleeping on top of the sheets. It was walking distance to Starbucks though.

Sheets were marginally clean, with stains showing. Towels were marginally clean and almost threadbare. Mattress was a little lumpy with box spring creaks. I would never stay here again.

Person at the front was very rude. My room had many cockroaches in and they said I should just deal with it because they were small. Never staying here again!

Our stay at the Plaza Inn was comfortable but few things need hopefully in the future can change hot water took about 15 minutes just to get hot. They also can look into having places where you can at least hang your coats and clothes up they only have two small dresser. I can say the price was very affordable. The location to get to our destination was comfortable not out of the way mostly Central to wherever we had to go. Make sure when you book your trip at Plaza Inn that there is a cash deposit but you get that back when you check out. I can tell management is trying to upgrade their hotel from the outside to today's time.

When checking in. I went to the window and rang the Ringer a couple of times until the clerk came out. When he came out, he asked for a deposit that I wasn't expecting. I stayed cool and said no problem here is my card. He said cash only. I left came back with the cash. As soon as he got my 100 dollar bill he started naming a bunch of things that were not allowed. I went to the room feeling like he was going to look for any reason to keep my 100 dollars. The next two days I was worried for my 100 dollars, I kept away from the hotel only went there to sleep at night. When I went to check out, sure enough he found a excuse and kept my 100 dollars.
