Charming Stay with Excellent Service
Our stay was delightful, with a charming room that provided stunning views of the Plaza. The staff greeted us warmly and went the extra mile to ensure our comfort, even surprising us with birthday treats which made the occasion special. The food at Chaz was exceptional, especially the breakfast with its variety of delicious options. However, while the lobby is beautifully adorned, it could perhaps benefit from more seating.

Historic elegance greets you the moment you step in. The ornate gold-leaf ceiling and marble flooring set a regal tone that feels welcoming and sophisticated.
Rooms facing the back lack the Plaza view, making them feel less desirable, especially with noise from cars leaving the parking area at all hours. Overall, it felt a bit overpriced for what was offered, even if the charm is hard to deny.

The historic design makes you feel like you've stepped into a timeless paradise. Proximity to the Country Club Plaza lends a vibrant energy with plenty of dining and shopping options just a short walk away.
The back rooms lack the scenic views that those facing the Plaza enjoy, making you feel a bit short-changed if you value a good sight. No one likes being jolted awake by the loud engines of cars coming and going from the back parking lot. those sounds can definitely interrupt your peace. Also, the daily parking fee can hit you like a rogue blaster, especially if you're caught off guard by the added expense at checkout.

I loved my stay here. the cozy room was perfect after a long day exploring, and having breakfast delivered was such a treat! The spa services were top-notch, and I really enjoyed the live jazz music in the restaurant. The only downside was some noise from the parking area, but it didn’t ruin my experience at all. 😊

The stay was memorable with a beautiful room featuring rose petals and a wonderful view. The staff was exceptionally friendly, assisting with our luggage and making us feel special. Room service breakfast was delightful, though the cost seemed a bit high for the portion sizes. The atmosphere was elegant, yet the restaurant prices were on the expensive side for families.
