Plim Plaza Hotel

If you’re looking for a hotel that makes you question every life decision that led you there, Plim Plaza is the place for you.

From the moment we walked into the room, we were greeted by a smell that can only be described as a fascinating combination of mildew, stale air, and decades of poor decisions. It was the kind of odor that clung to your clothes and made you wonder if opening the windows would somehow make it worse.

The room itself was impressively tiny. I have to give them credit—it takes real talent to make a room feel smaller than the photos. If two people tried to walk around at the same time, someone had to step aside. The room was also dirty, with dust, grime, and an overall feeling that housekeeping’s definition of “clean” might simply be making the bed and hoping no one looks too closely.

To top it all off, the front desk staff acted like guests were an inconvenience rather than the reason the hotel exists. Simple questions were met with attitude, and customer service seemed to be a completely foreign concept.

The only thing memorable about this stay was how quickly we wanted it to be over. If you’re looking for a clean, welcoming, and enjoyable vacation, I’d recommend literally anywhere else. On the bright side, staying here will make every future hotel feel like a luxury resort.

I travel all over due to my daughters being competitive dancers and I must say, this hotel was one we will be coming back to. It was convenient as the beach and boardwalk was right off the hotel, the live music and bar is so nice, the staff were very friendly, love the pool/hot tubs as they were clean and the guests were also friendly. The only negative thing is the rooms are small and they aren’t cleaned daily.

After I saw the room, I canceled my stay. Front desk staff were very nice and accommodating through the process and I got a full refund. Our room was a little box full of outdated and run down furnishings. The bathroom was so gross I’d feel more comfortable bathing in the ocean. Gray stained and scratched bathtub with a white film like cover— maybe from someone attempting to clean and never wiped off. Dingy bathtub jets, shower curtain looked like it hasn’t been replaced in years (fabric torn). Toilet looked worse than one in a public restroom. It had a thick gross film of old cleaner that sat there or just plain dirt. Bubbling wallpaper from water damage all over the walls, bedding was wrinkled and tattered, the mini fridge was stuffed in a hot closet. Candy ground into the carpet. I debated for 30 min or so if I could really stay there for 5 nights comfortably and the answer was NO. If you have young kids don’t bother staying here, it’s very much a party hotel with lots of younger people drinking and smoking weed. All fine and dandy if you are into partying, but that wasn’t our plan for vacation. I could hear the live band music vibrating our tiny room. Some rooms on reviews look better than ours but I’m sure in person they are not nearly as nice. Ours looked good in pics too. Just spend the extra money and go elsewhere would be my suggestion. Unfortunately, these are the only pics I took because I was worried about finding a new hotel.
