Stay was overall a very good experience that was tarnished by an unexpected room damage charge after checking out. After contacting the front desk, I was told housekeeping reported an iron was missing from the room. I was asked to check my luggage. After confirming I did not have the iron, I was transfered to the housekeeping supervisor's voicemail and have not yet received a response after a day and a second call to reception.

Decent. Beds comfortable, clean, rooms well appointed, easy parking and check in check out. late check out standard which was nice. Pool and Hot Tub were great, Restaurant menu was limited but good and wait staff (the bartender) was super nice. Only reason for the mark down, the ice machine on our floor was broken and the filtered water dispenser didn't work. It felt a little overpriced for what it was but hey it's Palo Alto so probably on par.

The tops were very old and run down. Carpet dirty. Furnishings all old and damaged. Fridge did not work even after notifying team and having maintenace look at. Lost expensive medication that required refrigeration. Staff did not direct to elevator so had to carry suitcases up stairs. Cold shower in the morning at 9am. Thin walls and could hear adjoining room. Wifi too slow to be usable. Very very poor stay. A poor reflection on the Crowne plaza brand. Will avoid Crowne plaza hotels is future.

Older hotel in a convenient location. Room was nice and spacious, but dated. Overall, very convenient and walkable to several restaurants. One star off because of $20 fee for parking. Other hotels in the area don’t charge for parking.
