We had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was tidy, the bed was comfortable, and the facilities were well maintained. Staff were courteous and responsive. Breakfast was good, though there is some room for improvement. Overall, a great experience and good value for money.
The lobby smelt lovely as you walked in, the staff went above and beyond to make sure all my needs were met, and the room was incredibly clean. If you’re looking for somewhere to stay the Crowne is the place to go!
