I enjoyed my stay at the Crowne Plaza. The king size bed was two singles or two small doubles pushed together which was a bit disappointing. Also, I found the food for dinner wasn't great. The chips were very dry and the burger was ok, but nothing amazing. I'd have expected more from a 4 star hotel for food... Other than that, I had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the breakfast in the morning.

The staff were awesome. They sorted out all of our issues we had with our rooms. The first rooms fridge didn’t work, so we got moved to another room. Then the aircon didn’t work in that room, but they had someone in hand to fix it right away. They even threw in some free drinks for the inconvenience.

Room not prepared for the number of people booked.

Our suite had a lounge with a pullout sofabed and a sofa. There was no bedding for the sofabed and only 2 sets of towels for the 4 people booked. Staff sorted it out and brought extra bedding and towels.

Stayed two nights, the room was clean and comfortable staff were friendly and accommodating. My only issue is the tea and coffee tray £350 for two nights to get two milks and two tea bags isn't really great I think the tray should accommodate to the night stays your staying. Overall great

Very strong sewage smell in the bedroom / toilet

Unfortunately we had to complain about our bedroom which had a very strong sewage/toilet smell. Every effort was made by staff to relocate us and when that wasn’t possible - maintenance and housekeeping staff were sent up. I cannot fault the staff in the circumstances, Alan was particularly helpful and went out of his way to make sure we were well looked after during our short stay. If anything I am shocked that in 283 bedrooms there are only 2 accessible. This meant the staffs options were limited given I was travelling with a wheelchair user. My review reflects the maintenance requirements rather than the staff who were outstanding.
