| Reviews of Plaza 500 Hotel |
I stayed at the Plaza 500 for a business trip - hotel was picked out for me.
It's trying very hard to be swanky, and prices are high for both the hotel and
the restaurant inside.
On the plus side, the rooms were very large and well appointed. Location was
decent - lots of food in easy walking distance, some shopping as well. Free pass
to the fitness center across the street was a nice perk.
If you are traveling for pleasure, however, this is not the place. You can't
walk to any of the major sites, and with the construction just outside the bus
schedules are nutty.
Room was clean except for the grout in bathroom. Ice
machines were down to two considering there were what... 14 floors!! Hallways
were hot and stairways were dirty. Rips in shear curtains. No frig or carafe
for coffee maker. Street sounds were very noisy. Parking was stiff at
$20+tax/night when off street parking a block away was possible. Enjoyable
walking in surrounding neighborhood. Lots of affordable eating places three
blocks away. Waited at least 8 minutes at low staffed desk for check in. Rooms
411's bed were comfy. Was not worth $149 for two queens.
Rooms were old and out-dated. Furniture were low quality, tears in the sofa
and the room smelled moldy. Cigarette burns in the carpet and Noisy as well. Not
worth the money as other hotels offer better value and quality rooms.
