I booked a small double room. Which was a three-quarter bed with one pillow! But I slept well. Arrived very late into the evening so I went straight to bed. Lovely clean bathroom. No noise. I only had toast and cereal from the breakfast buffet, hence four stars. I didn't see the hot buffet.

Very friendly and helpful staff. They accommodated us early, with one of the two rooms I had booked. This allowed us to drop off luggage and booked in, then go straight off to attend a wedding at another venue. It was very helpful. Thank you.

I had a really lovely stay here! The hotel was very clean and comfortable, even with the cheapest room option, which honestly surprised me in a good way. The reception service was fantastic — Jay at reception was incredibly helpful, joyful and welcoming, and really made my stay feel easy and stress-free. This was my first time staying here and I’ll definitely be booking again. Thank you for a great experience!

The room was tired, looked a bit grimy. The walls must have been paper thin, as I was woken by steady bonking for a good hour at silly o'clock. If it wasn't so annoying, I would have been quite envious of their stamina! I couldn't adjust the shower head and didn't fancy drowning, so I had a wash down before bed. I found the extra pillow (good), but unlike the rest of the hotel, my room was chilly, the duvet thin and no additional blanket. There was a bottle of mineral water, but it looked like the lid had been chewed by someone trying to open it, so I got a jug of tap water with ice from the restaurant when I went down to dinner. To start I was the only diner, all the tables were laid for breakfast, except for a couple on the left by the radiators. A second couple came in for dinner later. Good points, Lanson by the glass, but the menu was unimaginative and food average. I had visited before, with my husband for a family reunion in the Summer. On that occasion we had a suite and the experience was very, very different. I didn't bother with breakfast, although I had paid for it. Considering how much I was looking forward to returning, albeit on my own as a single female traveller, I was thoroughly disappointed. Room charges for 1 starter and 1 main at dinner, 1 night parking and two drinks (one bar and 1 with dinner) was £66. Be aware, they apply 10% gratuity to everything including drinks and bar is card only. Back to the Crowne Plaza next time I travel there solo.

Beautiful hotel, great location for town, but far too hot and we could only open the window slightly. The maid walked in to the room 9am on the Sunday despite us answering her knock, which was not ideal.

Traditional hotel in a very convenient location. Staff extremely helpful. Went out of their way to be accommodating. The only downside was, our room was exceptionally hot. We could not turn off the radiator so staff gave us a fan to cool the room overnight. They did offer to change our room but we had already unpacked. I also think some nicer complimentary toiletries would be a nice touch. Tee, coffee, water all provided in the room.
