“Very disapointed.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2013 via mobile

The room was average nothing special. It smelled of cigarette smoke!!! We got put on the smoking floor. The staff failed to inform us that there are smoking and non smoking floors and didn't ask us which one would we prefer. It is crown after all you do expect certain level of standard. You are not going to get it at Promenade

“Apart from the Location and Views,Its nothing Special!!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2013

We were lucky as we went up and stayed after seeing it advertised as a deal on one of those travel shows.. Because it is nothing special and would have felt being ripped off if we paid the normal price they charge.. Besides having everything so close to the Hotel and the view from the room was spectacular, as far as everything else goes it was just another Hotel... The worse experiences of the stay was even at 18 stories up the humming noise during the night from the A/C Units was terrible and the fact for the ease and the convience we decided to eat at the Hotels Restaurant for Dinner which was very poor.. They only had 4 tables for the night so we should have realised something was wrong then but for only a few customers the service was very poor and the food was only just better...

Room Tip: If you Love a great View go for a Corner Room at least 10 or more stories up as they look across to...

“Staff”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 14, 2013

This is a good hotel in a wonderful location in Melbourne. The hotel is reasonable new and still in good condition.

the first thing i noticed on checking in was the staff uniform. uniforms they are not. There is more variations in dress and manner of wearing them than i could record. It gives a ramshackle appearance.
It also appears that the lack of uniformity on appearance is working its way through to staff attitude. I was called mate, staff were unshaven, clothes were not tucked in.
IT LOOKED ORDINARY.
I don't want to be treated like the PM but some attention to the details of staff appearance and manner of addressing patrons would not go astray.
