This is the crowne plaza which should be a 5 star hotel! I was very surprised by how run down the place is the elevator doors and inside the elevator are run down. The escalator to go down was torn apart I was there for a three day seminar and really expected this place to be a beautiful not run down hotel. I will be back next year for a seminar again and I believe I will be staying somewhere else. Unless they bring this place back to what it should be

The room was gross. I walked in, and the comforter on the first bed had blood on it. The bathroom was filthy. The toilet didn't flush properly. The shower didn't drain well, so when I took a shower, the tub filled up, and all of a sudden, hair from other people was all over. I never want to stay there again. It needs to be updated, but I would have settled for clean..

The Crowne Plaza has wonderful event team! Our wedding was spectacular in large part to Zach and his team making sure the day ran smoothly. Their catering was phenomenal, rooms were clean and the service was exceptional! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming throughout our wedding weekend at the hotel. I highly recommend them for any event services you may need.

We just had our wedding here and it was absolutely incredible! The staff was amazing in entire time whether that be during cocktail hour or serving food during dinner. Any sort of hiccup was fixed quickly and meant the world to myself and our families. Zach, event manager, could not have been more helpful during this process. We highly recommend that you stay here and host your events with the Crowne. They will always take care of you!
