Our HotelPlanner expert reviews of Century Plaza Hotel & Spa
Our experts HotelPlanner experts periodically visit and review the hotels we represent in person.
"Nice hotel in downtown"
Overall score4.0/ 5
When you enter the hotel - you will be greeted by nice modern lobby adjacent to lounge/restaurant with fireplace and bar. The hotel has 240 rooms that offer rooms for families or
long term stays as they offer suites with kitchen. Rooms are not as modern as the lobby but spacious, nice and clean and offer a nice view of the city. The downtown location is huge plus and the hotel is not as pricey as other downtown hotels. Besides meeting space - hotel offers an indoor pool and nice spa.

"Great Stay!"
Overall score4.0/ 5
Roomy, quiet hotel. Upgraded us to a premium bedroom suite with a balcony. They were very nice and we really appreciated their effort to make our stay more comfortable. Also appreciate their program of forgoing housekeeping services for a $10 voucher at the delicious little bistro in the lobby!
