Crown is budget priced ($99 per night) so you can't expect an amazing experience. There is no concierge/front desk so, on the morning of arrival, you are sent a room number and an entry security code via email that allows entry to the front door and to your room. It worked seamlessly so full points there.
It is an old hotel so it does have a charm of its own especially the lovely staircase.
The room itself was sparse and my partner remarked that it could have used a better dust as there were a few dust webs around.
There was tea/coffee making facilities but perhaps a toaster also would have been a handy addition.
It has no car parking facilities of its own but is surrounded by ample street parking so no problem there.
Its massive selling point is its location.
It is situated one street back from the main highway through Bendigo and almost in the shadow of the Shamrock Hotel so it is close to all the local highlights (eg Bendigo Art Gallery would be an easy 5-10 minute stroll away.)
At $99 per night, it doesn't pretend to be more than what it is so affords what I see as excellent value for money.
I'd certainly return to it the next time I'm in Bendigo.
