Great.

I really enjoyed my stay at Crowne Plaza Festival City. The location is great—right next to the mall and close to the airport. The room was clean, comfortable, and had a nice view. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was tasty with lots of options. The pool area was also very relaxing. I would definitely stay here again.

The Staff particularly in Zaytoun were fantastic especially Joanna. The one serious negative was that when I asked about an accessible room (I am disabled and find it difficult and dangerous to climb into the bath to use the shower) I was made aware that they only had separate showers in the premier or suites room options which I cannot afford
