Stayed here March/April 2005 w/ our 3 CHILDREN....this hotel is extremely clean, friendly and had the most comfortable sleeping arrangements I have ever experienced in a hotel. We have stayed many places including Ritz Carlton's in other cities. Crown Plaza was top notch! We had a 2 room suite on the 12th floor...paid 200/night...had fridge, micro...and rooms were incredibly QUIET! This hotel has what they call a Sleep Advantage program. Upon arrival you find an entire relaxation kit on your bed complete with CD (a nice player in room), lavender spray, eye mask, and ear plugs....We never used ear plugs of course as rooms were soo quiet! Each room had own temp control unit and worked very effeciently....Room service food was outstanding and on time. Breakfast buffet was an ample spread and had a European flair with fresh deli meats on it and yogurt with real fruit in it was always available--a hit with the kids. The pool could have been warmer, but the kids did not care and we really weren't there to swim anyhow...the hot tub was perfect though! As far as walking distance to attractions, I would not stay here if you don't want to walk. We drove everywhere--rented an Expedition thru Budget for $230 for whole wk! The hotel has a rental car business in it but very expensive. ($79/day for a Sequoia) Overall, this was the most comfortable hotel I have ever been in. Maid service was IMPECCABLE and I am going to miss those pillow top beds....(my own at home isn't the same!) Oh-one more thing--the hotel has a convenient little pantry right in the lobby... gifts, snacks, medications, pool toys...most items were pricey of course being in the hotel, but ohhh how convenient when we needed a beach ball for pool fast! And we only paid $2 for it! Definately reccomend this place to business travelers as well as families alike!
