    Pros +

    • The staff was excellent! Concierge was EXTREMELY helpful. Bellman was outstanding!!!
    • Room was great.
    • The location and overall quality of the hotel are excellent.

    Cons -

    • Refrigerator was too full to put anything in.
    • Surprise fees not explained. There are fees that are charged daily, that you receive a credit for food and room service. So I was charged, but missed out on using because it was not explained at check in. They should be up front and charge a flat price.
    • I did not get the room I thought I was paying for. The bathtub was broken (fixed after a handyman visit) and the TV did not work (was never fixed). I was surprised.

    The staff was very nice and very accommodating and eager to please. The hotel is old but it feels like you stepped back into time, To its original glory I think that's what I liked best about.

    8Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 11-11-2021

    Beautiful, spacious room. Helpful concierge. Great location. Iconic building.

    Food service is very limited and service was not good in the primary bar area.

    10RobertPosted on: 9-16-2021

    Love the luxuriousness of the hotel and the Location cant be beat.

    We did have an issue with two deliveries from a friend (Champagne and a cake) that never made it to us. That was a bit disappointing for a 5 star hotel to mess up a service like that.

    Bar and staff

    Old rooms dark with no view and old carpet

    7MichaelPosted on: 8-4-2021

    The hotel was gorgeous!

    The staff was extremely inattentive. The doorman don¿t open doors. The bartenders are rude. The maids were incredibly nice however.

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 7-25-2021

    Everything! It was wonderful. We were greeted my a friendly, helpful doorman. The beautiful lobby was filled with the scent of lilies. We quickly checked in/out. The room was so luxurious with a view of the courtyard. We definitely will return.

    No, but a note that turn down service is not automatic and needs to be requested.

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 7-25-2021

    Everything was fabulous. The room and bathroom were gorgeous, the bed was beyond comfortable, the staff was extremely helpful and there is no better location (on the upper east side). I can¿t wait to go back!

    Not a thing!

    overall appearance of the Hotel is dated all the furniture from the benches outside the elevators to the table and chairs in the lobby bar are old and dirty. The palm dinning room was way over priced for the food and service was horrible

    10CharlesPosted on: 8-3-2016

    The Plaza lived up to its reputation as the pinnacle of luxury in NYC! I surprised my wife with a night there for her birthday, and the hotel gave us complimentary champagne and chocolate on arrival. It was the best hotel experience we've ever had!

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 6-25-2016

    Spacious room..excellent service. staff very friendly & helpful. Location right across from entrance to Central Park

    Free coffee in lobby would have been nice in the morning or coffee makers in room

    10StacyPosted on: 9-27-2015

    Clean spacious bathroom and room in general. Very comfortable bed.

    10JohnPosted on: 8-10-2015

    a level of luxury and guest attention I had never before experienced

    cost $19 for a beer at the bar (in room minibar was a very reasonable $10 in comparison)

    4RobertPosted on: 3-24-2015

    Room was great, TV sucked.

    Service was pathetic. Check in was awful. bar staff was lousy. Glad I didn't eat there.

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 3-23-2015

    The conceirge was excellent

    As always be wary of raiding the minibar - water was $12. Turndownservice didnt appear on my second night,.

    9Verified guestPosted on: 12-9-2024

    Beautiful hotel and atmosphere

    Need to be able to access ice or make a cup of coffee in the morning. Most hotels have a kierig or something similar.

    8RobertPosted on: 10-10-2024

    Obviously, the allure of the hotel and what it brings to NYC is the attraction.

    Wow, I have to say the price for what we received, especially with the lack of romance to an in-room dining experience being way overpriced plus fees/"extra" charges were out of control.

    10KimberlyPosted on: 10-13-2022

    The service was amazing

    Price too expensive
