Plaza 440

Great Location But Weaknesses are Apparent From: booist Date posted: 7/6/2006 Years at this apartment: 2004 - 2006   I've lived here for two years now and am about to move out so I thought I'd leave a review of my experience at Plaza 440. The Good: *The location is awesome...if you like shopping and tourists...which I do. It's much busier than downtown and there are a lot of chain restaurants to eat at after 8pm. *The view is amazing. This was the main reason I got the place. I walked in and it was bright and spacious. *The amenities are good, but I don't think half of the people of live here use them. Not sure you want to pay for it unless youre really going to use it. There a pool and a jacuzzi, both of which I used once or twice in the two years here. The Bad: *The doormen are idiots. I'm convinced that prison-shirt-wearing robbers could go in and out of the apartments without being stopped. These doorman are rude and very, inattentive. *The staff is rude and the management arrangement is confusing. It's a condo place that rents through an investment company. The investment company is in the lobby. The management is on the 8th floor. The rental guys are on the 8th floor. But none of them talk to each other. You have to run around from them to get ANYTHING done. *The place explodes. Coming back from a business trip was not expecting my apartment to be in shambles because of a water pipe explosion. They fixed it reasonably quickly but there wasn't even a phone call made to alert me that water was flooding my unit-- and of course, the doormen pretended like nothing happened. *The units themselves (aside from the views) are nothing to write home about. Everything is fake cabinet and cheap material. All and all, if you're considering Plaza 440, think of it as a low-service but nice hotel. As long as you don't run into any problems that require talking to the doormen or management, you'll be fine. But if you're looking for a pleasant, full-service place, look elsewhere.
