Center Hotels Plaza

8/10 Good
"Great location. Basic room equivalent to a student dorm room. Bed was firm and comforter was small. The room was a bit cool and you could not control the temperature. The hotel only provides soap and shampoo. No conditioner or hand/body lotion. Breakfast was healthy and fresh. There was no complimentary coffee available outside of breakfast hours. It did the job."
