"The good
Great Location: The location was excellent and very convenient for our stay.
Spacious Rooms: The rooms were impressively large and provided plenty of space.
Excellent Amenities: The room was fully packed with all the amenities we could possibly need.
Large Sofa Bed: The inclusion of a large, accommodating sofa bed was a great bonus.
Needs improvement
Outdated Property: The building is a very old property and it shows its age.
Limited Breakfast: The breakfast options were very limited. For a brand like Crowne Plaza, there should at least be a live counter offering fresh, made-to-order egg varieties.
No Dedicated Concierge or Valet: There is no official concierge or valet service. While the receptionist did call someone to help us with our luggage, a hotel of this caliber and price point should have these services standing by.
Paid Parking: Guests are charged for parking, which is frustrating; parking should definitely be free when staying at such an expensive hotel.
Unmaintained Grounds: The pond at the back of the hotel was completely full of algae and looked disgusting."
