First room we were allocated had a terrible amonia smell. After calling reception we were moved very quickly to another room which was greatly appreciated. This room however didnt have a working bathroom fan. One big recommendation is to pack your pillow. The pillows in the room were terrible.

No alcohol in the room and was not able to get any cocktails delivered to the room. $40 each for a buffet breakfast felt expensive Valet was a bit annoying because there was no parks out the front to actually park our car for the valet to pick up Everything was prettt good! Skyline bar was great!

I enjoyed our stay, even tho we had white out fog from when we arrived at 4pm until we went to sleep. Literally couldnt see the other side of the street. The hotel was comfortable, warm & quiet. The roof top bar was delightful, sadly without views, due to the fog, moody lighting & delicious drinks. I meant to pack so we could use the indoor pool, but forgot! Breakfast was great, with a range of pastries, cereals, hot food & other things. All the staff were sweet & helpful, I wish I had asked about parking, because I'm sure they would have been knowledgeable. Then I would have paid the $45 for valet parking... that allows you to come & go, over the course of your stay; but,I thought sounded excessive. So, I used the Wilson car park underneath & ended up paying $56 from 7pm until 11 am!

The reason why they lost a star is because of 1 staff member. She told us our room was not ready and she will call us when it was ready. So we went for a walk. But the call never came. Our room was ready & we did not know till after we tried to check in again. Otherwise the restaurant (food & staff), the pool & other amenities were excellent. Everything i would expect from the Crowne.
