We detoured a bit off our Route 66 trip in order to stay at The Plaza Hotel. The owners are to be congratulated and thanked for the wonderful job they did on restoring this lovely place. We know from past experience that staying in an old hotel can sometimes mean small, dark and dingy rooms and weird shaped "afterthought" bathrooms. What a pleasure it was to open our hotel room door and find a beautiful, high ceilinged room with light streaming in from large windows. The bathroom, while not huge, was sparkling clean and perfectly adequate. The free breakfast was served in the hotel's restaurant where you could order anything from the menu. There were two small negatives that probably should be mentioned although, in fairness, one problem is out of the hotel's control. The hotel sits right on the pretty, tree filled plaza. Apparently, one of the favorite pastimes of Las Vegas' younger crowd is to cruise the plaza endlessly. So, from about 4:00 pm to after 9:00 pm, if your room faces the plaza you are subjected to a non-stop parade of noisy trucks, rumbling motorcycles and cars with their radios blaring (we stayed at the hotel on a Friday night so this might be something that only happens on weekends). Thankfully, the parade stopped before 10:00 so we were able to get to sleep. The other issue was when we wanted to grab some lunch at a time when the restaurant was closed. We were directed to the bar across the lobby which serves a modified menu. Between the blasting rock music and the banks of televisions the noise level is pretty high. The bartender (who was a very nice guy) seemed to be a lot more comfortable serving drinks than food. At one point (happily it was after we had gotten our food) he pulled the bottom of his t-shirt up over his belly and blew his nose in it. We could only hope that he washed his hands before serving the next meal. Overall, though, The Plaza is a lovely hotel, a really good value, and definitely worth a stay.

After news of a recent refurbishment and on the recommendation of a friend we booked into the Plaza for 3 nights and were not disapointed. Although the bathroom was a little cramped the overall standard of the room was really good. We enjoy the downtown atmosphere of Las Vegas, and have stayed in a number of hotels in this area, but for value for money the Plaza is unbeatable.

I love this place! It is clean and homey. I bring my dogs and they are well-loved. The food is good and the service friendly. I discovered the Plaza Hotel about 12 years ago and have probably stayed there 10 times. It was really remodeled after appearing in "No Country For Old Men" -- thank goodness! We love the Plaza Hotel and Las Vegas, NM

While on a road trip we discovered the Plaza quite by accident. Despite not having a reservation, we were warmly greeted by the front desk staff who happily provided us a key to explore a room prior to us deciding to stay. Such a delightful surprise.

The room was immaculately clean and nicely decorated. With high ceilings, amble desk space and marble bath, we couldn't have been happier. The renovation done a few years ago must have been complete as the entire room felt new and comfortable.

Our visit to Byron T.’s Saloon that evening was amazing. The place filled with local folks who were friendly and welcoming. It was a treat to experience and reasonably priced too.

Back in our quiet room we cracked the window (yes, they open!) and brought in the cool, smoke-scented New Mexico air. A restful night was had by all.

A terrific breakfast was enjoyed in the Landmark Grill. The Huevos Rancheros - excellent. And provided all the fuel we needed until late in the day. That it was included in the price of the room was icing on the cake.

I highly recommend the Plaza Hotel for its ambiance, value and incredible experience.
