We stayed in the Plaza Hilton last year and were really impressed. Apparently they did a major overhaul a couple of years ago and combined every two rooms together, so each “room” is actually a large suite. I think it’s a very good value for folks who are looking for roommates, those traveling with kids (like me), or people without cars.
