This hotel with its proximity to the water and its beautiful views is my favorite place to stay. The rooms are great. The restaurant has good food. Daniel, the bartender is awesome! Makes a wonderful Dirty Martini and provides great service overall. You have so much to do within walking distance.

The best part about this hotel is the location! It’s the only hotel located directly on the beach which explains the high daily cost. However, it’s an old hotel with old rooms. Carpet is dated and smells even in the “nicer” rooms. We had to switch rooms when we arrived because the first one had an awful intolerable musty smell. Bed wasn’t the most comfortable. Overall I wouldn’t pay over $300 a night in this place again.

Mixed review

The Crowne Plaza has a beautiful location right on the beach. The view is wonderful. The town side is we’ve never stayed in such a noisy hotel. Because the highway runs right next to it and the railroad track. There is noise all day long all night long. Also the configuration of the elevators is strange. The carpet outside the elevator doors was filthy. On the pro side, the beds were very comfortable.

Don’t use valet parking attendants are not courteous and rude so we used public parking. The front desk staff are only 2 personnels only while lots of customers falling in line. It’s so busy weekends they should anticipate that event and put more people at the front desk.The elevators are slow too. I would not recommend this hotel.

The hotel is in a nice location and very close to the beach which is why we chose it. However, the room we were given is on the 2nd floor along with the staff rooms and there is maintenance going on early in the morning where you can see and hear people walking on the roof from our balcony. That’s the view from our room which was very disappointing. You can also see cigarette butts piled up on the roof so wasn’t sure if those are from the workers on the roof. Basically, we had the curtains closed most of the time because of that. The moment we got there there was also a long line waiting to park. A lot of people are waiting to valet. I think it would be better if there is a separate line for the valet and the other for cars to go through if they don't need to do valet parking as people who didn’t need to got stuck waiting and were told to check in first at front desk until they could clear it out. I believe there might be a nearby event that day so this may be a one off. The bed was comfortable. Pillows were high but are soft. Staff is friendly and is generally clean. The room needs updating as i see holes on walls and tub has some dark spot chipping. Maybe if you get the higher floors it would be better as the most disappointing part was the maintenance going on the 2nd floor roof.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean, but not enough towels provided for number of guests. Also, the drain was partially clogged. Don’t go during the local fair! Police blocked off routes to the hotel, and were not helpful. It took a lot of driving in circles to finally talk to an unfriendly person and get in.
