Top University District Hotel Reviews

Plaza Resort Club

10/10 Excellent

"Couldn't get to the property until extremely late. Mike was very accommodating and polite. Staff is always so helpful and kind. Always a great stay! Clean & comfy rooms. Will definitely stay again"

J Resort

8/10 Good

"Overall the stay was great with the exception of the morning of checkout. Checkout was at 12PM which we were very excited about because we were looking forward to sleeping in. However, the housekeeper on our floor (6th floor Aspen) woke us up around 9AM due to her having a conversation with someone over the phone with them on speakerphone. She was speaking very loudly to the point that we were able to hear the whole conversation. About 30 minutes later, someone in person started having a conversation with her as well and we were completely woken up for the day as they were both very loud. I would also like to mention that our room did not get cleaned at all the Saturday we were there despite housekeeping being on our floor and no sign on our doorknob. Thankfully we were able to make it with the items we had in our room, but that would have also been helpful. We will consider staying again, but will likely look for other options just in case."
