We ate at the brunch buffet first week of August, 2012; me and my four friends got food poisoning. When I contacted the hotel to tell them about our illness, the gentlmen on the other line did not believe me. It was the only place the five of us ate and that same night is when we all started to get sick. The manager insisted the food is checked temp wise throughout the buffett...guess what? We did not see anyone check the temp of the food the 3 hours we were there. I asked the manager to refund us our money. The manager then offered us gift certificates to eat there again! Why would anyone want to eat somewhere, again, where they got food poisoning. We then proceeded to ask for a free night's stay to make up for the food poisoning. The manager then said ok. On September 2, 2012, we checked in at the hotel. The front desk person, who could barely speak English "tried" to assist us with our free night coupon. She then asked for a credit card for "incidentals". I gave her my card. She said only a $25 hold fee would be charged. Guess what? She put a hold of $141 on my card. How is this a free nights stay. To date, this money is still on hold on my card. Anyway, we proceed to our room, which is way on the other side of the complex. It was however, an opportunity to check out the grounds. What a dump. This place is unkept and old. We get in our room and we find stains all over the blankets, a dirty shower, cracks in the ceiling...I can go on and on. We decided to stay the night anyway. The next day we proceeded to check out. I spoke with Beau, front desk manager. We complained about the dirty room and the unauthorized charges on my credit card. He never once said he was sorry, what can I do to fix this, nothing.
Long story long, do not eat or stay at Crowne Plaza Golf "Resort" (so NOT A RESORT- it ranks with Motel 6). You are bound to get food poisoning or bitten by bed bugs!
