Pros:

I did not have a balcony in my room. Overall my stay was not that great. This was definitely not a 4 star hotel. I stay quite regularly at many Crowne Plazas, and this one was lacking considerably. From the poor reception behaviour when I arrived, food at breakfast was not to the same level as others in the group. Common areas were dirty. Lifts not working. Overall poor this would be more like a 2 or 3 star.

Great overnight stay
Pros:

Great service from John on reception.
Room was clean and modern for a standard room. Tv included ability to cast from phone which was ideal. Lovely overnight stay. Will definitely stay again.

Some cons, AC could circulate room a little better
Link to restaurant menu didn’t take me to correct site so couldn’t view menu from room.

Lovely hotel. Newly furnished and the staff were amazing. Very friendly team who couldn’t do enough for you. If you asked for it, you got it. Extras at breakfast, no problem.

Wrong Room!
Pros:

The room and hotel was awesome, however when I checked in I thought everything was good until I go to the room that was given to me, I swiped my key card to go into my room and immediately got yelled at because they gave me a room and key card for a room that was already occupied, in all of my travels and stays across the world this is a first! All the staff said to me was, oh sorry, this is something I considered a very big deal, in some places across the world you go into someone else's room, you might get hurt! How a room that is already occupied and gets given to someone else is just crazy!

Pros:

Unfortunately, despite mentioning the faulty air-cons to reception immediately on arrival and again later that evening, no remedial action was undertaken. I am waiting to hear if there will be a refund.

Pros:

One lift out of order, stairs dirty as work going on and pest control in action… told not to use them, glasses and crockery left outside bedroom doors for far too long, no hot water only option for tea available at breakfast.
However, staff very friendly and helpful, room good, bed good, breakfast good.
