“Good place to stay in Santa Clara”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

Santa Clara is very expensive and there seem to be few moderately priced lodgings. By waiting and booking the day before I got a suite at the Plaza Suites for under $150 a night. The suite is really like a little apartment with a separate bedroom (with a door that closes) and livingroom--not one of those "suites" which have a partial divider. Very nicely furnished and clean. Free parking very convenient in a parking structure right next door. Good free breakfast including cooked-to -order eggs. My only complaint is the charge ($5.99) for wifi in the room. There is free wifi in the lobby. I think wifi should be free at this price

“Great Place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

The hotel is very similar to Embassy Suites, but not as expensive. The rooms aren't quite as large, but you do get a separate living area, and the bedroom door closes. The breakfast on weekdays has a cook to order eggs and more choices on the buffet. The weekend is scaled down a little, but there is plenty of hot and cold food to choose from. This is the second time we have stayed there and will stay again. Although some have complained about highway noise, it did not bother us. If you don't want to eat in the hotel, there is a number of restaurants within walking distance and its right off 101. We find the location very convenient.

“Comfortable hotel and convenient location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2012

I stayed only for one night on my way from San Francisco to Monterey Bay.
It is a typical business hotel. Rooms are spacious, with living room and bedroom apart. Microwave, frigi, coffee maker. Nice vannity area.
They serve complimentary drinks at happy hour. Breakfast was a little confused, probably because it was Sunday morning and hotel was packed with baseball kids ;-)

Room Tip: My room was located at the ground floor and the windows was right on the main avenue. Little noisy...

“Good for business stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 19, 2012

I've stayed at the Plaza Suites several times on business. The location is convenient, the staff is friendly, and the suites are snug, but very comfortable. The breakfast buffet and made-to-order option is nice, as is the happy hour beer/wine special for business travelers.
