The 100-room Boca Raton Plaza Hotel and Suites is a mid-range property situated on a commercial street and within a five-minute drive of many sights. Rooms are basic with lackluster style, but are outfitted with conveniences like coffeemakers, microwaves, and mini-fridges. Some rooms have balconies with seating while others have wet bar areas. The lovely outdoor pool and hot tub are a plus along with the poolside Tiki bar, and there is an on-site restaurant/bar that serves American cuisine, beers, and cocktails. A fitness center and 24/7 business center are provided along with free Wi-Fi and parking; however, the Wi-Fi is slow. Overall, this is a dated hotel with bland decor and furnishings that show some wear and tear, though reasonable rates and proximity to the beach draw budget-minded travelers. Guests might want to compare rates with the nearby Quality Inn and the Best Western Plus University Inn.
Scene
Older hotel offers good value for the area
A relaxed and friendly
atmosphere emanates throughout this plain and fairly simple hotel, which welcomes guests in a cream-hued lobby with a large
fountain at its center. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the space with natural light. Beige couches and armchairs, some festooned with a subtle pattern, provide seating in this simple, but pleasant, space, while various potted plants scattered about bring fresh bursts of green to the monochrome hues. The hotel's Our Place Restaurant & Bar has a
sports bar feel with wood chairs and glass block windows in addition to tiled floors and an exposed brick wall. There
are two large bar areas -- one topped with wood while the other has tan granite
countertops -- as well as several flat-screen TVs tuned to sports channels. Overall, the hotel features dated decor and some furnishings are worn, but spaces are pleasant and the property offers a good value in a convenient location.

Rooms
Plain, simple rooms with dated decor and mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers

A mixture of simple wooden and wicker furniture includes chairs, dressers, and small tables, and all rooms have 32-inch flat-screen TVs as well as wet bar areas with microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers. Suites add balconies with wicker seating as well as separate living rooms with sleeper sofas. Simple, contemporary bathrooms have tan marble vanities, shower/tub combos, and limited toiletries provided. Most rooms, however, lack natural light and furnishings show signs of wear and tear. Additionally, many guests complain that the air-conditioning units are weak and fail to keep the rooms cool.
