“Only for the water park...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012

We stayed here for one reason, to take kids to the indoor water park called Coco Key attached. That was fun for grade schoolers for 2 or 3 hours. For parents who want to have a few beers while the kids play, there's a bar inside the water park. Also an arcade but many games are broken. The cost of an all day admission is $20 each, or $15 after 4. It would be hard to make an all day thing of it, though. The hotel was not busy and the overall atmosphere was bleak. Clean, but bleak. The hotel says all rooms have been renovated and ours were perfectly nicely decorated for an average mid range hotel. Some of the room service food was inedible, but they replaced it without argument. None of it was what you could call good. Oddly, room service did not automatically include glasses of ice water or ketchup with fries. Best to eat elsewhere, or just stick with the PIzza Hut available from the water park. Between the connecting doors, somebody had squirrelled away a few condoms, fortunately still in their wrappers. There were a few other housekeeping misses, such as no liner for the ice bucket and bath tile walls and faucets that might have been cleaned but did not look clean. This hotel really has nothing to recommend it but the fact you can get to the water park without going outside in cold weather.

Room Tip: Adjoining king and double/double rooms are available. There are rooms with balconies overlooking th...

“Horrible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

I have been platinum with Priority Club for years and have always loved Crowne Plazas. This one is an exception to that rule ... I booked my room with points and our room was on the club level, which I appreciated. That's where the appreciation ends. It took FOREVER to check in - there were several staff members at the front desk, but only one actually doing anything. Once we opened the door to the room, I saw the carpet (yuck!), old lighting, and subpar bathroom. We decided to stay because we planned to take the kids to the waterpark the next day.

The next morning we attempted to eat breakfast in the restaurant -- it was DISGUSTING. So much nastiness on the floor that my shoe stuck and I walked OUT of it. The service was slow and we were charged for nearly everything (despite my breakfast vouchers). After we checked out, my credit card statement reflected that I was charged for my stay. I called the hotel and after lots of time on hold, I spoke to someone who promised to reverse the charge. Not only did they NOT reverse the charge, they charged me AGAIN. This happened once more before they finally reversed all the charges. This literally took me over a month to straighten out. Absolutely unacceptable, especially for a platinum member and someone who spends 100+ nights each year in hotel rooms. I recently was married at the convention center across the street. We had 150 guests and I warned them ALL away from this hotel .... only one stayed there and only because his room was a "steal" at 5,000 points. Bottom line: Stay away!

“Wasn't a bad stay for the price paid”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

Stayed two nights after getting a great deal from Hotwire. 2nd time staying here. Older hotel but Crowne is renovating. Service was adequate. Can't address room service because we didn't use. Would not pay full price based on current remodel condition. I'm sure it will be better once renovation is completed. Only nuisance was air conditioning,very loud.

Room Tip: This location host conventions. Dirt track event there during our stay. Kids everywhere. Ask for flo...

“KEEP DRIVING, DONT STOP”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed October 23, 2012

We will begin with this hotel that is out dated and no perks. You can not even get a cup of coffee with shelling out cash. Lets face it , almost everthing cost in this hotel. The club room servered up potatoes halfs, because the so called chef was late for work and when the guest complain, he replace with some more frozen potatoes fried out of a box. Terrible stay with all cost from the overcharge room to paying for almost everthing except to park. With my travels, this one is money pit and you leave with a bad night sleep if your room is near the interstate and pockets lights and the only good service was from the overpriced dining area and the person working in the club room. Just Keep Driving.

“Nice if it were the 70's”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012 via mobile

If you like sleeping on plywood this is the place. Inept staff. Outdated rooms. Not worth the money. Noisy, freeway, trains blowing horns all day and night.
Much better options in area
