My husband and I chose the Crowne plaza as a central base to visit our daughter nearby. we expected for the outlandish price - £500 fo two nights without breakfast, it to be special. Alas, the room was dark, dingy and although not small, the amount of furniture and bulky TV did not enhance the space.
the bathroom was covered in 'busy marble and dark wood. It all looked very dated and rather 1970's shabby and irritating. it would be so much better to be painted in light colours, get rid of those awful heavy tapestry curtains and replace with light airy blinds and a flat screen TV. have some wonderful traditional art work on the walls if you like but it was so dated we really could only spent time there asleep and couldn't wait to get out!
The staff were very nice and the beds were comfortable, but I cannot think of anything positive to say about it.
Even the 'complimentary croissant and coffee apparantly available to us on the top floor was NOT available as the room had been hired by a TV crew and we were ushered out without any information about this 'perk' being cancelled.
Altogether, they are having a laugh! Stay somewhere else!
