“Got great potential”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013

This Hotel has great potential to earn top dollar. The property has all the bones for a great place to vacation but "average" renovations are holding it back. It's a great location with beautiful beaches. The beds were very uncomfortable starting with the hard sheets and duvet. When you are deciding on bedding, it's always wise to sleep in it first. The hotel obviously needs insulation and new windows because there was a loud dirty dehumidifier in the room and difficult to regulate temps. The AC was so loud it kept waking us up. Dingy curtains and oversize table made the room crowded. The doors slam closed very loudly and you better watch your fingers. Even during a renovation the hotel should be kept clean, including the property. The hot tub was full of sand and cold. The pool was freezing and of course they told me it was heated. "clue" if guest are not using your pool it's too cold! The choice of art was awful and the patio chairs were disgusting. I saw the plans for this one and It appears to me that the owners are trying to cut corners with this renovation and it is a waste of money when if you do it right you can charge top dollar and stay booked all year. I wish I had the chance to fix this one. Again it's a great location with great potential. My suggestion to the owner is to spend the extra money on the renovation and staff. Hope I wasn't too harsh. I just see the potential of this place. (I may be a little spoiled, use to great spaces and great service)

Room Tip: Be sure to get a room facing the ocean for a great view.

Thank you very much for taking the time to review our property. I am glad you were able to enjoy our wonderful oceanfront location and our breathtaking views from our oceanfront deck.
I am so sorry to hear that your stay did not meet all of your expectations. Our $6.5M renovation, which will be completed in March, will certainly address many of the concerns you mentioned. The ownership of Crowne Plaza Melbourne - Oceanfront has invested much effort, time and money into our property to ensure that we are the best oceanfront resort in Brevard County. Once our renovation is complete, I hope you return to see the finished product!

“NO FITNESS CENTER”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

I'm very diissppointed that this information was not provided up front. It makes me leery about returniing.
The pool is clean, but verrry cold, and the jets in the hot tub are barely working.
I'm not thrilled.

We appreciate you taking the time to tell us about your stay. Please except our sincere apology for the inconvenience of fitness center not being open. We are renovating the entire property and one of the items on the list is the fitness center. When we reopen the center it will be bigger and more accommodating to our guests needs. I realize this didn’t benefit you this trip however, with you and other guests needs in mind we have an agreement with a local gym for our guests to use temporarily until our new fitness center is reopened.

We are so excited about all the renovations taking place. Once everything is complete we will be the best on the beach. I hope that the issues you encountered won’t keep you from returning to our hotel to enjoy our wonderful property. I promise everything you mentioned if it hasn’t already been addressed it will be. We do hope to see you again soon.

Sincerely,
Kaylyn Corbin

“Good choice in Melbourne”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013 via mobile

We have family in the area and stay here because it is on the beach. The hotel is dated although they are currently doing some room renovations. The ocean front corner suites are best. Higher floors offer incredible views, day and night. The beach is nice here and the hotel patio is a great place to have breakfast. The staff at this hotel is very good. We walked through other hotels that are nearby on the beach but have not stayed at any of them. All things considered this seems to be the best option.

Stayed December 2012, traveled with family

“A "Crowne" Jewel of a Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2013

I have always enjoyed staying at Crowne hotels throughout the U.S. but this had to be the best! I have stayed here twice. The location is phenomenal, right on the beach. The Tiki bar has a lovely deck right next to the dunes so you can relax and enjoy the waves. I also had breakfast sitting out on the deck and it was just so peaceful!

The rooms are very clean and comfortable. They have a nice balcony with a table and chairs where you can enjoy the view while having breakfast in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening!

You can walk right out onto the beach from the pool/Tiki bar area and go for a long walk on the uncrowded beach. I didn't use the pool but did take a look at it and it's super clean and sparkling.

Crowne prides itself on it's sleep comfort bedding and I have to say out of all the hotels I have stayed at, they are the best! I just want to snuggle down in and stay there!

Staff are some of the friendliest around and go the extra mile to make sure you are satisfied and have everything you need.

Room Tip: Higher floors have a much better view

Calidenna,

I am so happy you enjoyed every aspect of your stay with us! I have to agree that our oceanfront deck is a wonderful place to relax in the morning and enjoy a mimosa or two! Our stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean truly add to the overall serenity of the experience. I'm glad you were able to enjoy these views from your private balcony as well. Additionally, our Crowne Plaza Sleep Advantage certainly gives us the upper hand for comfort in your room. I am excited to announce that we will soon be welcoming our guests with an updated Sleep Amenity Kit that will help you achieve supreme relaxation. Most importantly, your kind words about our staff truly matter most to me. I boast that our team is the most friendly and dedicated team in Melbourne! I hope you return soon to "snuggle back in" and perhaps this time you can enjoy our heated pool and hot tub!

Sincerely,

Ryan

“"renovated" room had a really loud AC. water turned off.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2013

I'm rating this stay poor because even though the priceline price was good and the beach access excellent the room AC was so noisy I had to turn it off in the middle of the night and they turned the water off on the day we checked out so we couldn't shower before leaving town. Maybe this was the "priceline" room, but not a good sign for a renovated room.

Htt23,

Thank you for your review of our property. First and foremost, I would like to assure you that each of our guests are highly valued and appreciated by us. Regardless of how you booked your room, we are glad that you found your way to our property to enjoy our hotel and amenities! I am truly sorry that you experienced issues with your air conditioning unit. We have maintenance on-site for extended hours to correct these issues and ensure a comfortable night's sleep. In regards to our necessary water shut-off, I apologize for any inconvenience this may have cause you. As soon as we were aware of the issue, we began contacting guests to inform them and offer solutions. This type of emergency maintenance is not a typical experience that our guests encounter. I hope you will stay with us again in the future so that you may have the Crowne Plaza experience you deserve!

Sincerely,

Ryan
