The rooms were renovated and pretty nice... however our air conditioning kept making some obnoxious noise that made it hard to fall asleep. I took it apart and couldn't fix it.
My girlfriend and I woke up in the morning to get breakfast. We walked downstairs and saw a small buffet with orange juice, milk, small boxes of cereal, some bread and a toaster, and some bacon. All of this food was sitting out in the open not being warmed. They had a few other things I don't specifically recall. The things you would typically expect from a free continental breakfast.
We ate our food and after 5-10 minutes a woman came out and asked us if we were okay. We finished eating and to my astonishment she came and handed us a bill for $30. I about had an aneursym. The food wasn't even worth $10.
This is basically a scam. Any reasonable person would assume a hotel charging $160 a night offering crappy breakfast options is offering it for free. There were no signs anywhere advertising the cost of breakfast. I would have rather paid $30 for a Mcdonalds breakfast.
They also try to rip people off with $10 parking too. If I'm spending $160 for a hotel then don't try and nickel and dime me. If you're going to charge $30 a two person breakfast then can I at least get some freakin pancakes or some cooked food? Is that too much to ask for?
I won't be staying at any Crowne Plaza hotels again... and I hope others won't either.
