  I had my birthday here and I was treated like royalty. I cannot rave about this place enough... great location, lovely rooms and the staff is stellar. I've traveled to 20 countries and lived in 3. I've stayed in countless hotels, hostels and living spaces. I would put Crowne Plaza in the top 3 best staff experiences I've ever had. A great place for a quick holiday. Well done to the manager for having such great people on your team.

  I would compare this hotel to Motel 6 expect 4x the price. We intentionally paid extra for an ocean view on the 7th floor. When we pulled up the entire hotel was covered in scaffolding, obstructing the view of the ocean from our balcony. We couldn't take a photo without seeing dirty rusting metal pipes with wood planks in the background. To compensate we were offered a whopping 15% discount to the hotels restaurant. The bathroom was grimy, rusted fixtures, finger smudges on the mirrors and the tub was so gross I wore shower shoes. I could go on but you get the picture of how disappointing our stay was.

  We had high expectations as we've stayed at othr IHG properties. However, this one did not live up to others. The scafolding for repair wasn't an issue as we knew about it ahead of time. The ocean view was very nice. The beds were comfortable (except for the pillows). The room and hotel were very clean and the staff friendly. However, our phone didn't work so we couldn't order room service as a treat we were looking forward to (it was promptly fixed after going to the front desk). My meal was burnt and the supervisor tried blaming it on what I ordered rather than the cook watching the food as it was prepared. The other meal wasn't hit even though we brought it straight to the room (thankfully we had a microwave). We were comped a free breakfast for that, but that wasn't the point. Now, upon check out, the ice machine isn't working so I'll go in search of one on the way to the car. This hotel has been written off our list.

  The room was cozy and clean, and I loved being just steps from the beach. The location made it easy to stroll along the shore and explore nearby restaurants.
