Stayed here for 2 nights for a conference. Good location for that purpose but a fair walk into town otherwise although taxis seem readily available. There is also a convenient bus service that runs from outside the hotel to the airport which cuts down on expense.

Slightly frosty reception staff but overall staff very helpful there. Requested some toothpaste and it was brought immediately to my room.

Room itself was spotless and very comfy, bathroom also pristine. Food not as highly recommended but we had buffet style catering for the conference so the individual menu there may be more appealing.

Overall a very pleasurable experience

Stayed here overnight on the way to the Loch Lomond Scottish Open, wish we could have stayed longer! The location is not to far from the city and is directly on the waterfront . The check in was excellent , any questions I had ready to ask had already been answered by the check in girl (Jennifer). We had booked a club room on the 15/16 floor, Was a bit concerned after reading a few negatives about the club rooms and the lounge on the 15th floor. There was no need to have been. The room was excellent as was the Lounge. The room was very modern and the view (1502) was excellent. Free drinks and snacks in the lounge from 5pm -10pm,. plus a flat screen television and internet facility.
The health club was also good, we only used the pool and steam room but all were clean, the staff were very helpful. In general all the staff in the hotel were very good. Our only complaint was the french fries served with our bar meal......they were awful!! Did tell the waitress but all she did was to apologize. Breakfast was very good we were offered 2 breakfasts for the price of one when we checked in. We would certainly stay there again when visiting Glasgow.

Note to the Manager who I notice very often replies to advisors.....your training is working very well. but change your potato supplier!!

Chose the Crowne Plaza as it is linked by covered walkway to the SECC and we were going to see a concert.
Easy enough to find - even with the roadworks.
Parking costs £5 per night for which you pay at reception. Not secure but seemed safe enough.
Scottish girl on check in was very friendly.
Room had two king beds, bathrobe, usual tea/coffee, minibar, trouser press. Lots of wardrobe and drawer space. Heavy curtains at window gave good blackout. Marble bathroom with a good power shower.
The walk to the SECC took about 5 minutes through a maze of corridors but was easy to find. After the concert it was FANTASTIC to be able just to walk back to the room without having to worry about taxis or public transport. Would stay again if I was attending anything at the SECC.
Glasgow Science Museum, IMAX cinema, BBC all just a 2 minute walk away over the river.
The one thing which lets the hotel down is its restaurant.
Service was very very slow. It took 40 minutes from placing our order until the starter arrived. Had to ask twice for a jug of iced water and when it did arrive it was in a filthy metal jug which looked like it had been used for gravy and not washed properly. Same poor service at breakfast in the morning. Shown to a table without cutlery and had to ask twice.
Food was very good but the service let the whole thing down.
This did not detract from our stay though and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it or stay there again.

I booked this hotel especially as I was going to see a show in the SECC which is connected via a walkway with this hotel. As such it was perfect location for my purpose but if you are looking for a city centre hotel then this isn't it.
Now to the hotel itself. Check in and check out were smooth. The room was spacious with a pleasant view over the city. It had all the amenities one would expect from a modern hotel as well as some pleasantly surprising touches such as bathrobes and chocolates on the bed on arrival.
The beds were comfortable and we slept well except for the chambermaids who started vacuuming in nearby rooms before 9am!
We ate dinner in the hotel at the carvary buffet which had a good selection of dishes although not what I would call fine dining but good fare at the price. There was an a la carte menu but the cheapest main course was over £15. The breakfast was to die for. Every concievable taste was catered for - the only down side being the restaurant area where breakfast was served did not seem able to cope with a busy breakfast sitiing and we, along with many others, had to queue for over 15 minutes to be seated for breakfast.
Overall I enjoyed my stay and if I was going to another show in the SECC and needed a room I would definitely stay here again.
