“Very unpleasant”

The hotel required metal detectors for all guests due to a VIP guest who was at the hotel for several days. So each time one went to the fitness room or to breakfast at the hotel, we were required to go through the metal detectors. The lobby was filled with security men and an occasional guard dog. In addition the roomservice was abysmal and there were long waits for the elevator when the VIP guests were using it. We were not forewarned of the conditions and merely told two days out of the 5 days that there would be an increase in security. It seemed more like a police state rather than a luxurious and restful hotel.

Comment from the hotel's management
Thank you for taking the time to post your review and sharing your experience with us. We were indeed hosting a special group during your stay that required temporary enhanced security measures. Our hotel prides itself on providing five-star service to all our guests, so on behalf of the Management team at The Plaza, we do apologize for any inconvenience you encountered due to the enhanced security measures. We hope to have you join us again in the future so we may endeavor to provide you with the restful and luxurious stay representative of The Plaza.

“A Treasure”

Truly a fantastic experience. The staff treats you like royalty. I had always wanted to stay at The Plaza and decided to surprise my wife with this reservation. Great location for most any traveler. All the stores on 5th Ave are near, Central Park across the street, and Time Square is a short walk also. I tip my hat to the entire staff. We loved our stay and will return soon.

Area recommendations
5th Ave is great for shoppers. We always enjoy Time Square. Alot of excitement there. Central Park provides some peace to a city with plenty of traffice stress. Go to the Bronx to see the new Yankee Stadium. Best stadium I've been in.
Must see
Yankee Stadium is beautiful. Even a non-baseball fan could find this ballpark a fantastic experience.
Events and shows
The Lion King is one show my wife and I could watch on every trip to NY. This time we chose Driving Miss Daisy. I at first was skeptical but it was a great show and would recommend to everyone. James Earl Jones was the lead actor so that made it that much more special for me.

“Average experience with a touch of ostentatiousness...”

In my view this hotel sells rooms based on reputation... Suite was expensive and average - really early old world deco. Provided microwave - but no utensils, crockery, kettle or cups? Not quite sure what we were expected to do with the microwave alone? One particular doorman was offensive when it came to gratuity for every task he performed. Chose to rather go hail a cab around the corner rather than deal with his attitude. Breakfast was expensive and very standard,, although a real experience to dine in the opulence. Concierge service was great.

Central Park, New York, United States of America: Buildings crane above one another to claim views of Central Park, a piece of real estate valued at more than $528 billion. Surprises abound in its 843 acres. The grounds include a castle, a zoo, several lakes, and an Egyptian obelisk. A city that never sleeps needs its quiet time, too: Central Park has six designated “quiet zones,” including Strawberry Fields, the monument to John Lennon.
