The Plaza Inn & Suites seems like a nice place. The location is great - an easy walk to downtown shops, restaurants, and the theaters, and a lovely garden area on the creek. The room could use a deep cleaning (embedded dust and stains indicate cleaning is more of a wipe-down than a real effort), and having staff with a vocabulary above 20 words would be nice. Perhaps a check-in to inquire about our stay, anything we need, have a nice trip? A decent place, but stepping up its game amidst fierce competition in Ashland may be needed.
