    Room John Carpenter stayed in filming "Vampires"

    I just love this hotel. We have lived in Albuquerque for 4 years (from So Cal) and it's been a goal to come and stay here. Due to a change of plans my husband and I came here for thanksgiving for 2 nights. For the type of hotel the prices were very good. I definitely would not stay in a non plaza view room. First they take dogs. Which is rare for a hotel of this class. Even some of the surrounding businesses allow dogs with "well behaved humans". Second Las Vegas NM has been in I believe over 100 movies and TV shows as is one of the only towns that can represent pretty much any era from 1800s to now. And if you are a Longmire fan, his "office" is across the street from the hotel Third we were shocked and pleasantly surprised at how large the rooms are. I do not know that they are all this large but it was a king with a small sofa/settee. And a pretty large bathroom. I have stayed in old high end hotels in New York, DC and more and these are twice the size (and less than half the price) of those. I definitely could make a top 100 things list but I will just add the area is cool, the plaza is nice and dog friendly (with poo bags), it's a college town so has that funky vibe, it's been restored beautifully, we found the Prairie Cafe to be really good (not cheap fyi but worth it), they have a lovely collection of Talavera and more southwest and Mexican art, the staff is wonderful...very very nice. I will note which is not the hotels fault, if you are walking your dog alone as a female there are a few probably homeless folks around. Of course it's a nationwide problem and not like LA or NYC. Will definitely go back, for us a cool getaway about 2 hours from Albuquerque

    Loved this place! It's an old hotel from the heyday of the original Las Vegas - late 19th century. I feel like they raided every estate sale from New Mexico from the last 60 years to decorate this place. There are old books on shelves throughout the halls and in the rooms, as well as some older furniture, yet it doesn't smell like a musty old library, which sometimes happens with older properties. Oh, and to keep in with the classic hotel scene, they still use actual metal keys! They have put a lot of work on this property, which is probably why it's been used in a few shows, particularly Longmire. Many actors also stayed here relatively recently, based upon the signage on many of the rooms. It seems that a number of the employees also stay here, which is a nice perk. The rooms have an interesting layout, the floors creek, and the view is hit or miss, but for what I paid, I got a great history lesson just by walking the halls. The staff all seemed nice and the parking was fine, but it was all street parking. That might get a bit more difficult to deal with when the hotel is fully booked, which it wasn't the night I stayed there. Definitely recommend this place if you like hotels with history.

    Every time I come to Las Vegas, NM This is the place where I feel the most at home. It's a living piece of history. The service is remarkable and courteous but professional. They have a spectacular restaurant and a bar that goes back to the 1800's.

    A wonderful stay at the Historic Plaza Hotel! We stayed two nights in a king room with plaza view. The room was wonderful and exceeded our expectations for a historical hotel. Room and bathroom were spacious with high ceilings and well done. Only complaints for the room was that the mattress felt like it slanted and the head of the bed felt lower than the foot and the pillows weren't great. Also ate at the hotel restaurant and enjoyed our food and drinks. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

    We always stay at this great old-time Western hotel when visiting family in Las Vegas, NM. The rooms are spacious and beautifully furnished with 19th century period furniture and native indigenous art compared to more modern and sterile cookie-cutter hotels. Get a room overlooking the old plaza for a more traditional view and feel to this quaint little old cowboy town. There is a decent restaurant and bar located in the lobby area for your convenience, as they provide a place to escape to for breakfast and lunch during the occasional winter snowstorm. We love staying here, and we highly recommend it.

    I really enjoyed visiting the plaza hotel! We ate lunch at the restaurant, which had a beautiful, welcoming and inviting interior. There were many items on the menu to choose from. The prices seemed a little bit expensive, but the food was high quality with a fantastic atmosphere, so it was well worth it. Our waitress was very friendly, helpful and kind and also following covid safe practices during our visit. The interior decor of the restaurant is very delightful and made me feel happy in the space. There are lovely paintings and art displayed on the walls, incredible chandeliers, artisan furniture and fresh flowers on every table. The hotel is an historic building and I recommend that you explore around a little bit after your meal. There are lots of interesting historic photos, art and artifacts displayed throughout the space. Overall, I highly recommend it he plaza hotel restaurant and I would love to go back.

    In the heart of historic Las Vegas, NM's "old town" sits the Plaza Hotel as it has for many, many years with so many secrets... and a few ghost stories ;) Over the years, "The Plaza" has seen many reincarnations, and today, you'll find it's been remastered, keeping much of its old world charm intact. A few tips when booking.... If you're looking for an experience and a beautifully decorated room, book a room with a Plaza view. It might be pricey, but it'll be worth the spend. If you're looking for a specific bed size or room quality and you don't book a room with a view you may be unpleasantly surprised when you end up in a small room with a full-size bed and the window view of the brick wall next door. My favorite change to the hotel has been the Prarie Hill Cafe, which is a gorgeous little restaurant in the hotel lobby with a coffee & pastry bar attached. Everything on the menu looks yummy, and from what I understood, almost everything.... from entrées to sides to desserts... is locally sourced and made from scratch. A stay at the Plaza Hotel is an experience. You have much of what you need there or, you can take a stroll down Bridge Street and visit all the little shops and eateries and even a tiny movie theater. Oh! And sometimes, on the weekends, you'll find live music in the hotel bar.

    The Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas is known for its amazing historic architecture and famously great food. It has also been featured in television shows and Oscar award winning movies. (Longmire, The Homesman, Vampires, and No Place for Old Men). Reggie has sniffed out this place to spend the night. Good Dog!

    Coming from a Storied Lake in search of a breakfast worthy of Serious Campsters... "Bright light morning city gonna set my soul Gonna set my soul on fire. Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn..For Delicious breakfast that will tantalise our churn"....Las Vegas' Plaza Hotel Restaurant did just that. The "Wid Special" of sunnyside up drooling eggs over green chili good sausage over papas...for the Lass. The Lad you ask?....Avocado Toast of moist creamy/firm scrumptious slices of avocado (say it slowly..:) with reds/greens soaked in a luxurious vinaigrette on homemade bread nicely butter toasted char crispy good, haloed with drops of pesto....with a side of red chile and yes, papas....All washed down smoothly with Mimosas... Viva Las Vegas, with no neon lights flashin...or one arm bandits crashin'. Lots of hopes in the rain. Viva Las Vegas, turnin' night into daytime Turnin' dreams into night If you see it once You'll never be the same again..:) Best always, Avram Lucky Jackson Jr.

    We stayed as a group. There was 15 of us. The hotel was aware of this both for our rooms and for dinner over 3 weeks in advance. They knew also in advance of what each of us chose to eat for dinner. The rooms Apparently the hotel is actually 2 very old buildings put together. Unless your room is in the front building there will be NO plaza view. There is no coffee maker in room. At 7am complimentary coffee at front desk stops restaurant opens. My room had a used coffee cup on the bookshelf And a left can of soda in refrigerator. So I didn't feel the room got a through cleaning from last guest. Dinner First the waiter says he will serve 1/2 of us first then the last 1/2. Since we were all together that was absurd. The wait for food was long enough but after we ate and they finally came to clear plates was when troubles really started we were each asked to verify what we ate and what we wanted for dessert Then we waited and we waited. Finally dessert came out and the fun with our checks started. They had no idea what receipt to give to who. Some had to leave. Some were incorrect. The process was endless. From when plates were cleared to when the last person paid and got their card back took over an hour and half. I try not to be critical but the whole hotel needs to do much better. I did give 3 stars because the front desk on Friday were very nice

    We love staying in historic hotels and we got a good rate on Priceline for one night. The hotel is beautiful. The deluxe king room we were in was super spacious and comfy, with the highest ceiling I've ever seen in a hotel room. Bed was large and comfy. Room and property seemed very clean. Mask mandate was in effect for public areas. The only bummer was that the hotel saloon was closed and the restaurant was also closed except for breakfast. We were looking forward to the old west saloon experience and the website didn't say that it and the restaurant would be closed. The hotel is across from a park in a historic area. We were hugely disappointed in the pizza place across the street from the hotel, but a little further up Bridge Street we found a cozy Mexican restaurant/bar that had great service and cheap drinks, and helped make up for our disappointment with the saloon and the pizza place. Overall, it was an OK stay for one night.

    Just a snap of the one of the whiskeys the bar offers.

It was a little after 2 and we were the only ones having lunch. We ordered two hamburgers, both medium rare. One was supposed to be without cheese. We didn't want lettuce because of the current scare. In fact, I asked only for onions. We waited about 40 minutes for our food. Another couple came in after us. They finished eating before we were served. When the food finally came, they both had cheese and they had lettuce, tomato and pickles. No onion. Also, they had fries, which we didn't ask for. And they charged us extra for them. The waitress took back the one that wasn't supposed to have cheese and brought another one. Unfortunately both were cooked well done and were cold. They asked if we had time for them to redo our order. We were not willing to wait any longer. Apparently the staff was taking pictures of the food to post on social media. That's probably why it was cold. So when the waitress finally brought our meals, she told us that they were going to be shown on their Social Media Accounts. I guess that was supposed to make us feel okay about waiting almost an hour. It didn't. We asked to see the manager but he/she never came over. They did comp one of the burgers. The waitress was apologetic but that doesn't compensate for poor management. So unless you have a lot of time and don't care if after a long wait, you don't get what you ordered, I would avoid this place.
