This isn't the newest or nicest Crown Plaza, the rooms are small and they don't have flat screens. The pool is tiny and the breakfast ain't free. However, this might be the best hotel in the area. It's location is perfect - right on the beach, and walking distance to downtown and the peir. However, if you are a light... More

The Crowne Plaza is right on the beachfront at the end of California Street - very handy to all the shops and restaurants of Main Street and within footsteps of the beach. Great location! There's a nice bar and outdoor patio area off the lobby, plus a restaurant on-site. However, the rooms in the hotel are older and in need... More

The check in staff was excellent. The rooms need to be updated but the location is awesome. Right on the beach and near the pier. Good place for the price. More

The party was so much fun and the DJ was fantastic. I would definitely stay here again and reccomend to my family and friends. More

Parking was available in the surface lot next to the hotel for $10/night, and you were within walking distance of many neat... More

The minute he started his show, the whole room started the party and just kept it going until... More

The view off our balcony was fabulous. The noise from the freeway was only noticeable with the patio door open. When closed, we could not hear any noise.... More

From my review on FlerTalk - What is your Priority Club status? Platinum - Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay? Generally, yes - Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? Standard room...got standard room, upgraded to higher floor. . - How are the rooms? Old and tired! However, the room...
