Nothing Nice About This Crowne Plaza

I honestly do not know where these glowing reviews for this hotel came from. I've stayed in many Crowne Plaza's and this by far was the worst one i've experienced. Aside from a comfortable bed there was nothing nice about this property.

I checked in and was assigned a room on the 3rd floor. The lobby area was fairly nice. The elevator was old and slow with many scratches complimented by ugly carpeting. The ugly carpeting theme continued in the hallways. I arrived in my "much too small" room only to find a white comforter that was noticably dirty and a tv that had to have been from the 90's. I then attempted to log onto wireless internet (which is still called Best Western). I wasn't able to hold a connection for more than 5 minutes my entire stay. When i told the front desk about this they said that the way their wireless was set up is when any router in the entire hotel has a problem the entire system reboots itself which means if you get 5 minutes of uninterrupted internet time you should consider yourself lucky.

The bathroom was old and beaten up. The shower pressure was great with plenty of hot water but the tub and tile were old with some visible mold and mildew present. There was also some strange rubber blanket thrown on the bottom of the tub i assume to cover up the wear and tear from the 30 year old tub. This rubber blanket is constantly bunching up under your feet and is just plain weird. They need to replace the tubs in this Crowne Plaza wanna-be.

To sum it up you can do much much better than this hotel. It is neither cheap, clean nor upscale in any way. The expected amenities from a 3 star hotel are noticably absent from this property so i suggest you do what i will do in the future and stear clear as this Crowne Plaza totally misses the mark.

Management response from walkinmanSalisburyNc, Bill Moore, General Manager
(Management representative)
Nov 22, 2008
Clean comfortable accommodations and friendly, efficient service are minimum standards that every guest should experience each time they stay at the Crowne Plaza Charlotte. Although we are able to meet that expectation for the majority of our guests, we obviously fell short of that goal in this case.

We always welcome feedback from guests, particularly when problems are experienced. In the vast majority of cases, problems that are reported to the hotel Manager on Duty, can be corrected in a timely manner, and any inconvenience to our guests is minimized.

All feedback is discussed with our management team, and the necessary steps are taken to improve in the areas of our operation that resulted in the problems described in this review.

We were looking for a place to stay in Charlotte for just one night and didn't want to spend too much but wanted to be close to downtown, specifically close to Memorial Stadium. The Crowne Plaza ended up being an excellent pick. It was within walking distance of the stadium, and while it was a pretty good hike, we also had a nice walk to the uptown area (Tryon and College area). But no worries, the hotel has a free shuttle so we called and had them pick us up from Discovery Place when we didn't feel like walking back! The best thing about this hotel was the beds. They are so comfortable with a pillow top mattress, nice coverings, and seven pillows on each bed. I think they were feather, and they were so comfortable. The staff was very pleasant and helpful as well.

The only down side was the restaurant breakfast which was, as is typical in many hotels, way overpriced and not too impressive.So instead we walked across the street and got a great latte and bagel breakfast sandwich for a great price. I think the name was Koko-mo's. Would highly recommend this as well. .

I travel often for business and the hotels I stay at need to accept government per diem rates. Sometimes it's difficult to find decent downtown hotels that do, and this one fit the bill perfectly. Nice room, very friendly staff, and walkable to downtown, which is key for me!

my family and i stayed at this excellent hotel for november 24th, and we were able to secure a priceline rate for two rooms. mr. jones who checked us in was so gracious in meeting my "humble" requests for one of the room to have two beds. he was so pleasant in informing us that the shuttle would take us anywhere we needed to go. everyone who served us at dinner and breakfast to the lady at the front desk as we were checking out was absolutely wonderful. you could feel that customer satisfaction was of primary importance. parking was near and relatively inexpensive. since we were going to the panthers game, the shuttle drove us there and returned us to the hotel. the drivers of the shuttle were professional in conducting their duties, too. traffic is a mess during ball games. this was a real convenience. i would stay here at whatever their regular rate is.it was a great experience!!
