Best Hotel in Bowling Green
To be honest I haven't stayed in many hotels in Bowling Green. I grew up there so I always stay at home. However, I recently went to visit my family there and brought my own family along. Since my parent's have a very small house, we wanted to stay in a hotel. The Plaza, which was being built when I left for college, was well-known to me, and being conveniently located near the main strip of B. G. and my parent's house, it was my first choice.
It did not disappoint us. Our stay was quite pleasant. The rooms were impressively large. Normally a room with two double beds usually leaves little for anything else; we still had enough space to cram a third bed in there which fortunately they did not try to do and instead had placed some chairs and a desk. The beds were quite comfortable, nothing amazing but nice. They have a decent but not stellar breakfast buffet where kids can eat free. The lobby and atrium areas are certainly spacious with plenty of comfortable seating, though I didn't see any actual couches just chairs, which would have come in handy for me on a few occassions.
We had wireless internet access throughout the hotel and additionally an ethernet port in the room. They also have a nice indoor pool, hot tub, and sauna area, and the typical fitness room.
The staff was friendly and helpful. To illustrate, when we first arrived, my wife was shocked to see that our non-smoking room reaked of smoke. We called the front desk, and they immediately apologized and sent us a key to a new room, on the top floor.
Some things were not as good. They have the absolutely wonderful environmental policy, motivated probably more by profit, of not changing sheets and towels every day unless you request them. This is a major plus for me. However, when they came to make the bed they really didn't check it very well. My 2-year-old son had unbeknownst to us left crumbs in the bed before we left for the day and when we went to bed that night, we pulled the sheets back to see that they were still there. Of course, a quick wipe cleaned it off.
All in all, it was a great stay, and we will certainly stay there again... unless my parents buy a bigger house.
