Park Place Hotel

Park Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Been years since we stayed at Park Place...had an excellent 3 night stay, very accommodating for our late arrival and request to have our two rooms close together! Front desk staff excellent, dining room dinner and breakfast stay excellent, very nice manager and food very good! Excellent convenient parking & ramp for scooter entry. We hope to stay again next year! ONLY downside was the main elevator was not functioning and understand has not been fixed for quite a while, other than that, a great stay and love how close it is to downtown for my husbands scooter! THANK YOU PARK PLACE!!! Nearly forgot...love the GIFT SHOP!!!"
