THE BUILDING
Plaza Court is a historic two-story building dating back to the 1920s and listed on the historic registry. While preserving its original architectural charm—including its original hallway "milk doors"—the building has been thoughtfully updated to provide modern comforts for today's travelers.

Please note that, as a historic building, some original features and minor imperfections are part of its character. While our team is committed to keeping the property clean, comfortable, and well maintained, guests should expect the unique qualities that come with staying in a nearly century-old building rather than a newly constructed property.

PET-FRIENDLY
Pets are welcome! A $75 pet fee applies. All pets must be disclosed and added to the reservation prior to arrival. Please notify us in advance if you will be traveling with a service or assistance animal.
