Noisy, busy awful customer service
Awful place to stay, noisy guests with little soundproofing in the adjoining rooms. Far too hot even with air con on full, narrow room with no space to manoeuvre and uncomfortable pillows. Huge queues for breakfast (which wasn’t the best anyway) and seated the other side away from the restaurant so having to navigate the huge queue of people when returning to your table with food and drinks. Advised the staff of our experience and wasn’t even offered an apology or any resolve. Terrible customer service, will never return or consider a Crowne Plaza again!

The name but no game
The hotel lobby, breakfast area and staff were amazing but the room quality for an IHG crowne plaza was poor. I feel like I have experienced higher quality at premier inn than I have in this room. The bed barely had space to get around. Have to say im dissapointed by my stay here due to the room quality and probably wont stay here again.
