I stayed four nights. We had to get our room changed because we found a cockroach in the bathroom. The staff was very accommodating and respectful. The cleanliness off the rooms and the hotel was not great. It seemed like a building from the 80s that had some touch ups. I was surprised to find their bathroom shower and dispenser products were from Apotheke, a trendy brand from Brooklyn. The restaurant employees were amazing. Very attentive.

I did not have breakfast from there so I can’t comment on it. My room did not have enough wash rags I had to wait until the next day for cleaning service to come in order to get more wash rags. The room was booked for 3 with only one wash rag in it. $25 a day parking was a bit pricey.

There was no hand soap. One roll of toilet paper. The bathtub drain was so clogged the bathtub started to fill when i showered. Cleaning staff were talking loudly at 2-3 in the morning then during the day the cleaning staff were making a bunch of very loud banging noises in the room next to us. I have no idea what they could have been doing to make that noise. Then on my checkout day we couldn't enter or leave the parking garage because the barcode no longer worked. this was frustrating because i still had business to take care of that day before my checkout time. other then all of those frustrations the staff i talked to was friendly. it kind of seems like there wasn't enough staffing to operate the hotel like it needed to be for the price point.

Rooms were big and quiet. BEWARE - there is a $100 deposit per room (we had 2 rooms) that is refundable upon checkout BUT if you have a car, there is a $25 per night charge (per car - we had 2) to park in the garage, which is the ONLY option for parking! This fee is taken out of the deposit. Also, housekeeping never came by to clean our room after night #1. To top it off, the hotel's main water pipe broke on day #2 and there was no water for 6 hours. No water bottles were provided and no alternate accommodations arranged for existing hotel guests. Very unprofessional and a critical error on Crowne Plaza's part. We won't be staying there again!
